Exposed aggregate is concrete with the top layer of cement washed away to reveal the stone underneath. It's the most popular upgrade we do: it's grippy in the wet, hides tyre marks and dirt, and looks far more expensive than plain concrete.
We pour a premix with your chosen stone blend, time the wash-off so the stones are evenly exposed (wash too early and stones pop out; too late and they stay buried), then acid-clean and seal it so the colour stays rich.
Not sure which one? We'll talk you through it at the measure and bring samples.
The classic. Pairs well with a plain or charcoal border — $110–$160 per m².
A non-slip finish that ties the front and back of the house together.
Durable and easy to hose clean. Sealed to resist BBQ grease and stains.
Grippy underfoot when wet — a smart choice around water.
Light, dark, river pebble and mixed blends. We bring samples to your measure.
Exposed aggregate looks best resealed every few years. We can do that too.

Indicative 2026 Melbourne ranges for standard access. Your price depends on size, access, excavation, slope and finish — you get a fixed written quote after a free on-site measure.
Free on-site visit. We check levels, access, soil and drainage, then give you a fixed written price.
Excavation, compacted crushed-rock base, formwork, steel reo and vapour barrier — the bit you never see.
Australian premix pumped or barrowed in, screeded to falls, then finished — broom, trowel, coloured or exposed.
Control joints saw-cut, surface sealed, site cleaned up. You get care instructions and a slab that lasts.
Usually around 20–30% more per square metre, because of the stone blend, the washing process and the sealing. On a typical double driveway that's a few thousand dollars for a big jump in looks and grip.
Yes. We seal it once it's cured, and it looks best with a reseal every two to three years, depending on sun and traffic.
No — it's one of the grippiest finishes you can get, which is why it's popular for driveways on slopes and around pools.
Usually, yes. Tell us or show us a photo and we'll match the stone blend and colour as closely as the batching plants allow.
