In Australia, where outdoor living is a key part of our lifestyle, the exterior of your home should be both functional and visually impressive.

What is Exposed Aggregate Concrete?
Exposed aggregate is a decorative concrete finish that involves removing the surface layer of cement to reveal the natural stones, pebbles, or other aggregates beneath. This method creates a textured, slip-resistant finish that’s not only attractive but also highly durable.It’s widely used in residential outdoor spaces across Australia for its stylish appearance, low maintenance, and adaptability to different landscape designs.
Why Choose Exposed Aggregate for Your Home?
Stylish and Customisable
Available in a wide range of colours, textures, and aggregate mixes, exposed aggregate can complement both contemporary and traditional home designs. It pairs beautifully with artificial turf, timber, and modern landscaping elements.
Durable in All Weather Conditions
This surface handles Australia’s diverse climate—from extreme heat to heavy rainfall—without cracking or fading.
Safe and Non-Slip
Its textured finish provides excellent grip, making it ideal for pool surrounds, sloped pathways, and high-traffic outdoor areas.
Low Maintenance
It requires minimal upkeep—just occasional sweeping and pressure washing. Resealing every few years helps preserve its appearance and protect it from stains.
Environmentally Friendly
With options for using locally sourced or recycled materials, exposed aggregate supports sustainable building practices and allows for better drainage in outdoor areas.
