Exposed Aggregate Concrete Finishes & Edges
Exposed aggregate is one of the most visually striking and durable concrete finishes available for driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks. By revealing the natural stone within the concrete, this finish creates a textured, high-end look that blends beauty with performance. The result is a surface that’s both eye-catching and built to last.
At The Art of Concrete, we specialize in custom exposed aggregate finishes, offering a wide range of stone blends, edges, borders, and design details to create a truly one-of-a-kind finish that elevates your outdoor space.
Why Choose Exposed Aggregate?
Slip Resistance: The textured surface provides excellent traction, making it ideal for wet areas like pool decks and walkways.
Exceptional Durability: Exposed aggregate stands up extremely well to heavy foot traffic, vehicles, and harsh weather conditions.
Design Versatility: With countless stone colors, sizes, and border options, this finish can be tailored to match any style - from classic to modern.
Premium Curb Appeal: The natural beauty of exposed stone adds depth, texture, and a high-end look that instantly boosts your property’s appearance.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete full exposure.
A full exposed aggregate finish reveals more of the natural stone at the surface,
creating a richer texture, deeper contrast, and a more dramatic visual impact.
By fully washing back the cement paste, the aggregate becomes the focal point,
delivering a bold, high-end look with excellent slip resistance
and long-lasting durability.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete Sand Finish
An exposed aggregate sand finish offers a subtle, refined look by partially revealing
the stone while keeping a smoother, sanded surface. This finish balances texture
and elegance, providing gentle traction without being rough underfoot. It’s ideal
for patios, walkways, and pool decks where you want the natural beauty of the
aggregate to show, but with a softer, more comfortable feel.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete Edges
Square Edge
An exposed aggregate with a square edge combines the natural beauty of
exposed stone with clean, crisp lines for a modern, polished look. The straight,
defined edges create a sleek frame around the textured surface, highlighting the
aggregate while keeping the overall design simple and contemporary.
This style is perfect for driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks where a
minimalist, high-end finish is desired.
8" Grooved Edge
An exposed aggregate concrete with an 8" grooved edge adds subtle detail and
dimension to the surface while showcasing the natural beauty of the stone.
The grooved edge creates visual interest and a defined border, giving the concrete
a refined, custom look. This style works well for driveways, patios, and walkways,
offering both aesthetic appeal and enhanced safety by subtly delineating edges.
Signature Stamped Edge
A signature stamped concrete edge adds a touch of elegance and craftsmanship
to any concrete surface. Designed to complement stamped patterns, this edge
creates a polished, finished look that highlights the texture and style of the concrete.
Perfect for patios, walkways, and pool decks, it transforms ordinary surfaces into
custom, high-end designs with a professional, cohesive appearance.
