Project Overview

A flowing exposed aggregate concrete driveway in Alderton provides a durable, textured welcome, connecting the street to the home with a unified surface. The natural pebble finish offers a rich, multi-tonal appearance that complements the property's exterior colors and landscaping. This material consistency extends across the entire project, from the broad expanse of the main drive to the integrated front porch and steps. Precisely placed saw-cut control joints create a clean, geometric pattern while serving the critical function of directing potential cracks. The craftsmanship is evident in the smooth, uniform curves of the connecting walkways and the crisp, well-defined edges of the steps, resulting in a hardscape that is both highly functional and visually cohesive. The finish provides excellent traction and durability for vehicular and foot traffic.

Things to Know

01

Is an exposed aggregate finish a good choice for providing traction on steep driveways?

Yes, it is an excellent choice. The textured surface, created by the exposed stones, provides superior grip compared to smooth or lightly broomed finishes. This quality significantly improves safety for both vehicles and pedestrians, especially in wet or frosty conditions.

02

What is the best way to maintain a large exposed aggregate driveway to keep it looking new?

Regular maintenance involves sweeping or pressure washing to remove dirt and debris. To protect the surface from stains, weathering, and color loss, it is crucial to apply a high-quality sealer every two to three years. This restores the wet look and makes cleaning easier.
