Exposed Aggregate Concrete — Festus, MO & St. Louis Area

Exposed aggregate shows off the stone in the concrete instead of hiding it under a smooth surface. The result is a textured, natural-looking finish with good traction — a great fit for driveways and sidewalks.

We've poured exposed aggregate driveways, including Old Monroe exposed aggregate with stamped borders, and exposed aggregate sidewalks.

How we build it

Our process

  1. 1

    Estimate with Dan

    Dan meets you on site and shows you what exposed aggregate looks like for your project.

  2. 2

    Prep and base

    We excavate and compact the base, built to the same standard as any of our flatwork.

  3. 3

    Forming and reinforcement

    Forms are set, borders laid out, and the slab is reinforced.

  4. 4

    Pour and finish

    We pour, then expose the stone at the right time to get an even, consistent surface.

  5. 5

    Cure, seal and cleanup

    The surface is cleaned, sealed if needed, and the site is cleaned up.

Common questions

What is exposed aggregate?

It's concrete where the top layer is removed during finishing to reveal the stone underneath, giving a textured, pebbled look.

Is exposed aggregate good for a driveway?

Yes. It's durable and the texture gives good traction. It pairs well with stamped borders.

What is Old Monroe?

It's the exposed aggregate mix we've used on driveways, including ones with stamped borders. Dan can show you how it looks.

Can you do sidewalks?

Yes. We pour exposed aggregate sidewalks, and we do walkways around homes too.
