Then you will know what you are buying We can expose standard grey concrete if you wish... will cost you about $60 sq mtr. ... and you will hate me! All I am saying is there are costs for certain products, it needs to be known which mix (colour concrete and coloured stone) There are many, ranging from standard concrete with sharp aggregate to real exposed aggregate( the tumbled stuff ) and luxy is very expensive semi prescious stone or recycled glass for a bit of depth. 2bob Where you are coming from is where you are going to...

Re: Exposed aggregate driveway - Perth - Help 24Aug 17, 2010 8:26 pm onc, can exposed aggregate be smooth-ish and nonslip?

Re: Exposed aggregate driveway - Perth - Help 26Apr 04, 2011 1:33 am onc_artisan Which mix were you quoted on Uncle Tonksy? wow sorry it took me a while to get back to you Onc. totally missed that post! Wasn't actually quoted on a mix just on m3. Still haven't set anyone in concrete yet (pardon the pun), but we are getting close to finishing.

If you or anyone else out there has any success stories of exposed aggregate in perth and the company they used feel free to drop me a PM or list it up here. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Did I read correctly that there is a display area somewhere in Perth where I can go and view the work done by some companies?
