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 St Lucia South
A good concreter will quote exposed aggregate clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for St Lucia South. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.
Local knowledge counts
St Lucia South sits in the Sherwood - Indooroopilly area. Mention the suburb when you enquire and ask the provider to confirm travel, availability and any callout component before you agree to work.
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.
