About exposed aggregate

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.
