Project Overview

A network of precisely formed concrete walkways with a fine exposed aggregate finish and geometric saw-cut patterns navigates a terraced landscape in Bellevue. The dark gray concrete provides a strong, modern contrast to the property's natural stone retaining walls and lush plantings. Each section of the path features a clean, picture-frame border and a central diamond-pattern created with meticulous saw cuts, demonstrating a high level of precision. Integrated concrete steps, cast as solid, monolithic forms, provide smooth transitions between elevations. The pathway system culminates in a circular patio area designed around a stone fire pit, where the saw-cut pattern radiates from the center, creating a distinct and functional outdoor gathering space. The consistent, non-slip texture of the finish is uniform across all flatwork and stair treads, indicating expert control during the exposure and washing stages.

Things to Know

01

Is an exposed aggregate finish a good choice for walkways on sloped properties regarding safety?

Yes, the textured surface of an exposed aggregate finish offers excellent slip resistance, making it a safe and practical choice for sloped walkways and steps, especially in wet conditions.

02

How should I maintain an exposed aggregate garden path to prevent moss or mildew growth?

Regular sweeping and rinsing with a garden hose are key. For stubborn growth, a pressure washer on a low setting or a solution of mild detergent can be used. Applying a quality sealer every few years also helps inhibit growth and protect the surface.
