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 Lighthouse Beach
When you enquire about exposed aggregate, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for exposed aggregate is flexible, include that in the Lighthouse Beach request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
How thick should a concrete driveway be?+
A residential driveway is typically 100mm thick with reinforcement, and thicker where heavier vehicles are involved. Thickness, a compacted base and steel reinforcement are what stop a driveway cracking under load. Be wary of a cheap quote that skimps on base preparation or steel.
How long before I can use new concrete?+
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours, but wait about seven days before driving on a new driveway and around 28 days for it to reach full strength. Rushing vehicle traffic onto fresh concrete is a common cause of early cracking.
Do I need council approval for concreting?+
Paths and driveways on private land often do not need approval, but slabs for structures, work in easements, and changes to stormwater or crossovers can require council or water-authority approval. Ask your concreter to confirm before pouring, since removing non-compliant work is expensive.
