Exposed aggregate is a popular and cost-effective decorative concrete finish. It offers a textured, natural look that adds visual interest without the price tag of premium materials like granite or marble.
Available in a wide range of stone types, colours, and sizes, exposed aggregate allows for a high level of design flexibility. Whether you are after a rustic, earthy feel or a more polished, modern finish, the right combination of mix and placement can help achieve it.
Like standard concrete, exposed aggregate is tough and long lasting. It performs well under foot traffic and weather exposure, making it suitable for driveways, patios, footpaths, pool surrounds, and public areas. The textured surface also improves grip in wet conditions.
From basic decorative finishes to more detailed design work, exposed aggregate can be customised to suit a wide range of projects. Contractors can create patterns, borders, or even incorporate logos into the pour. It is used across both residential and commercial builds, including public walkways, courtyards, and interior floors.
This technique has been used in New Zealand for decades. Its combination of strength, safety, and style makes it a trusted choice for projects where both form and function matter.
Getting the best result with exposed aggregate depends on good planning and experienced execution. Our team can help with mix selection, aggregate choice, and finish recommendations to suit your project.
