Professional excavation, base preparation, and reinforcement installation create the foundation for consistent exposed aggregate concrete installation and long-term performance.
Precise concrete mixing with proper aggregate distribution to ensure uniform stone placement throughout the exposed aggregate concrete system.
Professional concrete placement and initial finishing to achieve proper aggregate positioning and surface preparation for the exposure process.
Specialized timing and techniques for aggregate exposure, including surface retarder application and washing procedures to achieve optimal stone revelation.
Detailed finishing work to achieve desired texture, slip resistance, and surface smoothness appropriate for the intended use and safety requirements.
Thorough cleaning procedures and protective sealing application to enhance aggregate appearance and provide long-term surface protection.
We offer local river rock, decomposed granite, specialty imported stones, and custom aggregate blends. Aggregate selection affects both appearance and cost, with local materials being more economical while specialty stones provide unique aesthetic options for exposed aggregate concrete.
How do you ensure consistent aggregate exposure? Consistent exposed aggregate concrete requires precise timing, proper concrete mix design, and experienced finishing techniques. Our 45 years of experience ensures we achieve uniform aggregate exposure across the entire surface without weak spots or inconsistencies. What maintenance does exposed aggregate concrete require? Exposed aggregate concrete in San Diego requires periodic cleaning to remove dirt from the textured surface and resealing every 3-5 years. The natural texture hides dirt well, making exposed aggregate concrete relatively low-maintenance compared to smooth surfaces. Can exposed aggregate concrete be repaired if damaged? Minor damage to exposed aggregate concrete can often be repaired through patching and re-exposure techniques. However, matching existing aggregate and exposure levels requires expertise, which is why quality initial installation is important.
