The decorative process of exposing aggregate has been around since the early 1900s, well before pattern stamping, stenciling, and decorative overlays became trendy. But this method is far from being ready for retirement. Exposed aggregate is durable and provides a non-skid surface. It is perfect for patios, driveways, pool decks, walkways, and much more. What is exposed aggregate and how is it made? The surface of exposed aggregate is made by laying concrete and then taking out the outside layer of cement to reveal the beautiful aggregate.

If you’re looking for a good pool deck material, consider exposed aggregate concrete. The pebble-like finish is especially well-suited for pool deck surfaces because it’s highly slip resistant. For more dramatic results, you can enhance or complement the colors and textures of the decorative aggregate by using stones in contrasting colors or by combining areas of smooth and exposed aggregate finishes.

Concrete has been used for driveways for a long time, but now it doesn’t need to be drab. Like patios, the concrete can be salt finished, have exposed aggregate or be stamped. The concrete driveway can also be stained or engraved to give the property great curb appeal. Among the more popular stamped patterns are cobblestone, English Yorkstone, fractured slate, fractured earth, ashlar and riverstone. They can be stamped in interlocking or European fan patterns or a pattern called embossing skin.

Exposed aggregate can be a great choice if you’re looking for a decorative look for a surface you want finished with concrete. So what exactly is exposed aggregate? Exposed aggregate is obtained by laying concrete and then removing the outer ‘skin’ of cement paste to uncover decorative coarse aggregate. Since it is so durable and skid resistance, an exposed aggregate finish is ideal for most flatwork including:
- Sidewalks
- Driveways
- Patios
- Pool decks
- Plazas
