A CLOSER LOOK
Let the stone lead the design.
Aggregate blends with a tactile presence.
Exposed aggregate reveals the stone within the mix. The aggregate blend, depth of exposure and finish determine whether the surface feels subtle or expressive. View a realistic sample in natural light and consider how it meets plain concrete or paving nearby. Stone distribution can vary across a slab. Around Brisbane homes, traction, cleaning and sealing should be discussed alongside the decorative effect, particularly on sloping or wet areas.

Brisbane Exposed Aggregate: Keep Your Textured Surface Clean, Sealed and Slip Resistant
Exposed aggregate combines durability with natural stone texture, and regular cleaning keeps it looking sharp. Sweep or blow off leaves and dirt often, because debris settles between the stones and encourages stains and moss. Wash the surface every few months with a mild detergent and a stiff broom. Use pressure washing carefully, keeping a safe distance and moderate pressure so stones are not loosened. Treat mould, algae and mildew early, particularly in shaded, damp areas of Brisbane gardens and patios. Clean oil, rust and food stains promptly.
A quality sealer enhances the stone colour and reduces staining, and you should reapply it every two to four years. Check for loose stones, cracks and worn areas, and repair them quickly to stop damage from spreading. Keep drainage clear to prevent pooling. Avoid harsh acids that can etch the cement between the stones. With steady maintenance, your exposed aggregate surface will stay attractive, offer reliable grip and remain a tough, long-lasting choice for driveways, paths, pool surrounds and entertaining areas.
