What is Exposed Aggregate Concrete?
Exposed aggregate concrete is a decorative concrete finish that showcases the natural beauty of stones and aggregates within the concrete mix. This finish is achieved by removing the top layer of cement paste, revealing the embedded aggregates. The result is a stunning, durable surface that adds texture and visual interest to any outdoor space.
