Benefits of Exposed Aggregate Driveways
The benefits of exposed aggregate driveways are durability, low maintenance, excellent slip resistance, and visual appeal.
Durable and Long-Lasting Surface
Exposed aggregate handles heavy vehicles and regular foot traffic with ease. Bayside Concrete Driveways uses durable mixes that resist cracking and wear, giving your property a surface built to endure.
Low Maintenance and Easy to Clean
With a sealed finish, these driveways require minimal upkeep. Simple sweeping and the occasional rinse keep the surface clean without the need for harsh chemicals or frequent treatments.
Excellent Slip Resistance
The textured finish provides natural grip, even when wet. This makes it ideal for sloped driveways or high-traffic areas where added traction is a practical and safety-focused choice.
Visually Appealing Finish Options
Bayside Concrete Driveways offers various stone blends that enhance street appeal. From subtle tones to bold contrast, exposed aggregate delivers both performance and a custom look that suits your home.
Melbourne’s Exposed Aggregate Colours and Finishes
These are the exposed aggregate colours and finishes we provide:
Classic Pebble Mixes for Subtle Appeal
01
Choose soft greys, light browns, or neutral tones for a natural, understated finish. Bayside Concrete Driveways offers popular blends that work well with most landscape and architectural styles.
Bold Stone Blends for Modern Homes
02
Make a statement with black, charcoal, or white stone mixes. These combinations provide contrast against concrete and surrounding surfaces, giving the driveway a sharp, contemporary edge.
Custom Colours to Suit Exteriors
03
We help you match aggregate blends with surrounding paths, walls, or façades. Bayside Concrete Driveways guides clients through finish selection to create a balanced, cohesive look across the whole property.
Matte or Gloss Sealing Options
04
Sealers come in both matte and gloss finishes. While gloss enhances colour depth and shine, matte provides a more natural appearance while still protecting the surface from wear and weather.
Smooth or Textured Wash-Offs
05
Adjusting the surface wash depth creates smoother or more textured results. Depending on stone size and finish, we tailor the wash-off for the right balance of grip and visual impact.
Decorative Edging and Feature Strips
06
Add visual interest using exposed aggregate with plain or coloured concrete borders. These decorative touches can frame the driveway, separate areas, or tie into other elements of the landscape design.
Our Easy 6-Step Process for Concrete Driveways
Consider the following steps to our exposed aggregate installation process:
Step1: On-Site Measure and Design Advice
We start with a site inspection to check access, slope, and surface needs. Bayside Concrete Driveways offers advice on layout, finishes, and drainage before providing a detailed written quote.
Step 2: Clear and Upfront Quoting
All quotes include excavation, concrete, materials, and sealing. There are no hidden extras. Bayside Concrete Driveways gives you a fixed price so you know exactly what’s covered before work begins.
Step 3: Site Prep and Base Work
Proper groundwork sets the job up right. We handle excavation, formwork, and base compaction to suit local soil and drainage, giving your new surface a reliable foundation.
Step 4: Professional Pour and Wash-Off
The mix is poured, levelled, and exposed using pressure wash techniques. We time the wash-off precisely to reveal the aggregate without disturbing the finish or leaving patchy results.
Step 5: Curing and Sealing for Longevity
Once cured, the driveway is sealed to enhance appearance and surface durability. This step protects against staining and wear, helping the exposed aggregate stay clean and well-presented for longer.
Step 6: Final Walkthrough and Aftercare Tips
We complete each job with a walkthrough to check finish quality and discuss care. Clients receive easy maintenance tips and advice on resealing down the track if needed.
