What is Exposed Aggregate Paving?
Exposed aggregate paving is a technique where concrete is poured, then part of its surface cement layer is removed (washed off) to expose the decorative aggregate beneath. The result: a textured, high-grip stone finish.
Common Aggregate Materials & Finishes
A variety of aggregates are used to create unique finishes, including:
- Granite, durable with a natural sparkle
- Quartz, sleek, modern look with reflective qualities
- Marble chips, elegant, timeless finish
- Local river pebbles, natural, earthy tones that suit Cape Town landscapes
- Colored stone blends, custom palettes to match your home and environment

Where Exposed Aggregate Paving Works Best
We offer a full range of paving solutions for both residential and commercial projects:
Why Exposed Aggregate is Worth It
Unlike plain concrete or standard brick, exposed aggregate paving offers:
Slip Resistance & Climate Suitability
Cape Town’s occasional rain and pool adjacency mean surfaces must resist slipping. Aggregate finishes provide grip. Also, coastal salt and UV exposure favour aggregate mixes over untreated stone or tile.
Low Maintenance & Longevity
Once properly installed and sealed, aggregate paving resists wear, stains, and UV fade. Occasional cleaning and resealing keep it pristine, with lifespans of 15–20+ years.
Aesthetic Appeal & Customisation
From subtle neutral blends to bold accent aggregates, you can control visual impact. It suits modern, classic, or rustic styles seamlessly.
Value for Money & ROI
Compared to premium natural stone or large-format tiles, aggregate paving gives excellent visual impact at a lower cost, offering a strong return on investment.

Is exposed aggregate slippery when wet?
No, the textured surface provides grip, making it ideal for wet zones like pool surrounds and patios.
How often should I reseal aggregate paving?
