About exposed aggregate
Exposed aggregate exposes the decorative stone in the mix for a textured, slip-resistant and attractive finish popular for driveways and pool surrounds. It costs more than plain concrete but looks far better and hides marks. Ask to see samples, since the stone and colour vary a lot between mixes.
Getting quotes in Balmain

Quick answers
Why does concrete crack?+
Some fine hairline cracking is normal as concrete cures, but larger cracks usually come from a poor base, missing or badly placed reinforcement, no control joints, or loading it too early. A properly prepared and jointed slab minimises cracking. Control joints are placed to make any cracking follow a straight, hidden line.
Is exposed aggregate worth the extra cost?+
Exposed aggregate costs more than plain concrete but is more slip-resistant, hides marks and tyre scuffs, and looks far better, which many owners find worth it for a front driveway or entertaining area. Ask to see samples, since the stone and colour vary between suppliers and mixes.
How much does a concrete driveway cost?+
Plain concrete driveways commonly run $65 to $90 per square metre, with exposed aggregate and decorative finishes closer to $100 to $150, so a standard driveway often lands between $4,000 and $12,000. Site access, excavation and reinforcement drive the price. Get the thickness and steel specified in the quote.
