How We Work

Our Process

Site Inspection & Quote

We confirm measurements, access, ground conditions, and the exposed aggregate look you want, then provide a clear scope and quote.

Excavation & Base Preparation

We excavate to the required depth and install/compact the base properly. This step is critical for preventing movement and cracking.

Formwork, Levels & Falls

We set formwork and ensure correct levels and falls so water runs off correctly and the finish sits clean against surrounding areas.

Reinforcement

Reinforcement is installed to suit the area’s expected use, loading, and site conditions for long-term strength.

Pour, Expose & Finish

We pour the concrete and apply the exposure process to reveal the stone, then finish edges and joints neatly for a consistent final look.

Cure & Handover

We provide guidance on curing and when it’s safe to use the surface so it achieves the best long-term result.

QUICK ANSWERS

Exposed Aggregate Concrete Adelaide FAQs

No — exposed aggregate is one of the more slip-resistant concrete finishes available. The textured stone surface provides grip underfoot, making it a popular choice for driveways, paths, and pool surrounds where safety underfoot matters.

Sealing exposed aggregate concrete in Adelaide is recommended to protect the surface from staining, UV fading, and moisture penetration. It also enhances the colour of the stone. We can advise on sealing options as part of our exposed aggregate concrete services.

Yes, and it’s one of the most popular uses. Exposed aggregate driveways in Adelaide are durable, handle vehicle loads well, and provide significantly more street appeal than plain concrete. Our exposed concrete services cover new driveway installations, replacements, and extensions.

Consistency in exposed aggregate concrete comes down to preparation and timing. We control the mix, pour, and exposure process carefully to ensure even stone distribution and a uniform look across the whole slab. Proper base compaction and formwork also play a key role in the final result.

You can generally walk on exposed aggregate concrete after 24–48 hours. For driveways, we recommend waiting at least 7 days before vehicle use and up to 28 days for full cure strength. We’ll walk you through the curing guidance at handover.
