KK Concreting — Exposed Aggregate Driveways
Exposed Aggregate Driveways

A driveway that shows the stone, not just the concrete.

Washed back to reveal the aggregate underneath — grippy underfoot, hides everyday marks, and no two driveways come out looking the same. Formed properly, poured once, and still square in ten years.

From $130/m²indicative only — firm price after a quick site visit

What exposed aggregate actually is

Plain concrete with the top layer washed off before it fully cures, so the stone in the mix is left showing instead of a smooth grey skin. It's not a topping or a stick-on finish — it's the same slab, just finished differently. That's why it holds up: there's nothing on the surface to wear through.

Why homeowners choose it

GripRougher underfoot than a honed or plain finish — matters on a sloped driveway or anywhere that gets wet.
Low maintenanceTyre marks, chalk and everyday grime don't show the way they do on flat grey concrete — the texture breaks the surface up.
IndividualityNo two driveways look quite the same — the finish depends on the stone blend and the light hitting it, not a mould or a stencil.

How a job runs

Four stages, in order. You'll know which one we're up to.

01

Site visit and quote

We measure up, check access for the truck and the fall for drainage, then quote a fixed price with the finish written on it.

02

Prep and formwork

Excavation, compacted base, formwork set to line and level, and reinforcement tied. This stage decides how the finished job looks.

03

Pour and finish

Concrete placed, screeded and worked to the finish you chose. Exposed aggregate gets washed back once the surface has gone off enough.

04

Cuts, seal and clean up

Expansion cuts in, sealer applied where it's needed, formwork and spoil taken away. We tell you when it's right to drive on.
