Looking to add a unique, textured finish to your concrete floors? Our Exposed Aggregate Grinding service uncovers the stunning stones and pebbles hidden within your concrete slab—creating a visually striking, slip-resistant surface that’s as tough as it is beautiful.
What is Exposed Aggregate Grinding?
Exposed aggregate grinding is a specialised process where we grind back the top layer of concrete to reveal the natural stones and decorative aggregates mixed within. The result? A custom, one-of-a-kind finish that showcases the colours and textures of the embedded stones. This look is perfect for driveways, patios, pool surrounds, pathways, and even stylish indoor spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can any concrete slab be ground to expose aggregate?
Most concrete slabs contain decorative stones, but the final look depends on the original mix and pour. We’ll inspect your concrete and discuss the options before starting.
How deep do you grind to expose the aggregate?
The depth depends on the desired look—light grinding reveals a subtle, “salt and pepper” effect, while deeper grinding exposes more stones for a bolder finish.
Is sealing recommended for exposed aggregate?
Yes! Sealing enhances the colour of the stones, helps protect against stains and weather, and makes cleaning even easier.
Is exposed aggregate suitable for driveways and outdoor areas?
Absolutely. Its slip-resistant texture and durability make it perfect for outdoor spaces, especially where safety is a priority.
