Project Overview
A grand circular turnaround with radial saw cuts defines this masterfully installed concrete driveway in Buckley, WA. The installation follows the natural contours of the property, creating a long, flowing entrance that connects the main road to the residence and a separate detached garage. A consistent, durable smooth finish provides excellent traction and a refined, textured appearance across the entire surface. The precise placement of saw-cut control joints is critical for the long-term stability of such a large installation, guiding natural expansion and contraction while creating a deliberate, geometric pattern. This work establishes a durable and visually cohesive foundation that complements the scale of the home and landscape.
Saw cuts create a clean pattern while controlling potential cracking.
The final installation unifies the home and detached garage.

Things to Know
01
What are the disadvantages of an exposed aggregate driveway?
Exposed aggregate driveways have some drawbacks:
- Textured surface can be rough on bare feet
- Repairs are difficult to match with original surface
- Requires resealing to prevent freeze-thaw damage and stone loosening
02
How do you maintain a circular exposed aggregate driveway?
Pressure wash regularly to remove dirt from the textured surface. Seal every 2-3 years to protect against moisture, stains, and UV damage while preventing stones from loosening.
03
Why choose exposed aggregate for a large driveway?
Exposed aggregate offers multiple benefits for driveways:
- Superior slip resistance from textured surface
- Exceptional durability against heavy traffic and harsh weather
- Unique decorative appearance with varied stone colors
- Lower maintenance than pavers or asphalt
