Where is exposed aggregate concrete used? Almost every area that concrete is normally installed, it can be used.
- Patios – exposed aggregate is now the leading favorite decorative concrete finish for this outdoor essential.
- House Fronts – entryways, walks, courtyards and driveways – nothing adds curb appeal like a new exposed aggregate driveway and front entrance, it’s beautiful appearance and natural anti-slip make it a perfect upgrade for the front of the home.
- Pool Decks – exposed aggregate concrete around the pool does more than create a safe slip resistant surface for sunbathing and swimming, it creates a welcoming warm exterior area that compliments the exterior of the home and melds with the outdoor environment.

With all this warm weather we’ve been having, being outside is great. Having a patio for entertaining and barbecues can be great fun. Before you choose a wooden deck, why not consider concrete? Here are a few reasons why concrete is a great choice.
Less Maintenance: Concrete block paving requires far less maintenance than other paving materials. Concrete block paving’s strength and durability eliminates costly patching and surfacing.
Easily Reusable: Unlike asphalt, paving blocks can be removed for access to underground utilities and reinstalled after repairs are completed.
Cooler in Summer: Concrete block paving remains cooler than asphalt in summer making it the ideal choice for parks, patios, around swimming pools and pedestrian areas.
Easier to Install: The installation of concrete paving blocks requires neither the specialized equipment nor the intensive skilled labor of asphalt. Block paving does not require favorable weather and temperature for successful installation, avoiding costly construction delays.
Major Cost Savings: The initially higher cost concrete block paving is recouped many times over through longer product life, reduced maintenance, repair, sealing and stripping costs, making concrete block paving an economical choice for your next paving job.

Earlier in the month, we listed a few concrete maintenance tips to keep your concrete surface looking brand new. Here are a few more!
Seal Joints in the Concrete:
This will help minimize water intrusion, prevent dirt collecting, and prevent weeds from growing at the joints.
Seal the Concrete Surface:
This repels water, dust proofs the surface, provides abrasion resistance, and makes the concrete resistance to UV sunlight.

Did you know concrete can be stamped with a variety of different patterns that resemble expensive stone or ceramic tile? This is why it is perfect for patios. You can even have a rock salt finish, which gives it a pleasing texture and also makes it skid resistant. This is ideal not only for patios but for pool surrounds. The look is of a weathered and lightly pitted rock. The floor of the patio can also have an exposed aggregate surface. This is when the concrete is poured and its skin is removed, which reveals the aggregate beneath. This is also good for pool surrounds, walkways and other places that get a lot of traffic.
