WHAT IS EXPOSED CONCRETE?
It comes in a wide variety of natural stone colours that can be chosen from regular standard blends or combined to your personal choice.
Exposed aggregate is extremely hard wearing, low maintenance and is perfect for driveways, patios or any other outdoor area. Pavillion finish, which is a companion to exposed aggregate, is perfect for indoor or semi-indoor areas.

FAQs
How long does it take to install an exposed aggregate driveway?
Most installations take 3-5 days, depending on weather conditions and project size.
Can I customise the look of my exposed aggregate driveway?
You can choose from various aggregates, colours, and finishes to match your design preferences.
What sorts of designs and colours can I choose?
We can use almost any type of stone or sand to create aggregates, which means your colour and texture choices are virtually limitless. For example, we can mix quartz into an aggregate for a shiny and glossy finish, which can be further amplified with coloured glass. We can even achieve colours from chic neutrals to bold hues like emerald green and rose pink.
How often should I reseal my driveway?
We recommend resealing every 2-3 years to maintain its appearance and protection.
Is exposed aggregate suitable for sloped areas?
Absolutely! Its slip-resistant texture makes it ideal for slopes or high-traffic areas where safety is a priority.
Can you provide recommendations on exposed aggregate driveways?
We certainly can. If you’re unsure about what colour scheme and finish would best suit your home, the team at A Better Driveway will work with you to choose the right colour grade and base texture for a surfacing solution that complements the exterior of your property.
