At Pro Concreting, we get it. Choosing the right type of concrete for your new home can be a bit overwhelming. That’s why we’ve broken things down to make the decision easier, starting with one of our most popular decorative finishes: exposed aggregate.
Exposed Aggregate: A Touch of Class with a Practical Twist
This decorative concrete style brings out the natural beauty of the stones and pebbles mixed into the surface. Not only does it look a treat, but the textured finish can also provide better grip than smooth concrete when it is correctly finished and maintained.
Where Can You Use It?
Exposed aggregate works well across many outdoor areas, including driveways, footpaths, patios and pool surrounds. It can also be considered for selected indoor or transitional areas where the finish suits the design and maintenance needs.
Why Pick Exposed Aggregate?
We’ve got a huge range of aggregates to choose from, so you can match your concrete to your home, garden, or business. Whether you’re after something earthy, bold, or subtle, we’ll help you pick the perfect combo to suit your space.
Key Benefits:
- Looks Great – Adds texture, character and street appeal to your property.
- Slip-Resistant – The textured finish can provide better grip than smooth concrete when properly finished.
- Built Tough – Suitable for driveways, paths and outdoor areas when designed for the expected load and site conditions.
- Low Maintenance – Relatively easy to keep clean with regular sweeping, washing and occasional resealing.
- Material Options – Can incorporate different aggregate colours and textures to suit the look of your property.
- Great Long-Term Value – A durable decorative finish that can suit a wide range of budgets, depending on the mix, area and site preparation.
Coloured Concrete: Add a Bit of Personality to Your Project
If you’re after something that stands out from the standard grey slab, coloured concrete is a ripper of a choice. It’s tough, good-looking, and brings a splash of creativity to driveways, paths, patios and pool areas.
How’s It Made?
We mix the colour right into the concrete at the batching stage, so it runs through the concrete rather than sitting only on the surface. This means the colour will not simply chip off like a surface coating, although fading can still vary depending on colour choice, sealer, UV exposure and maintenance.
What Makes It a Top Choice?
- Built to Last – Designed for outdoor Australian conditions when specified, poured and cured correctly.
- Design Flexibility – Choose from a wide range of colours to suit your style and blend in with your home or landscape.
- Practical Finish – A decorative option that adds colour without relying on a surface coating alone.
Coloured concrete lets homeowners, landscapers and designers add a bit of flair without necessarily compromising on strength when the mix is properly specified and installed. It’s a smart, stylish and practical option for many outdoor concrete projects.
