We should hopefully have handover of our house in approx. 3 weeks, so we have started to think about the driveway. At this stage we are torn between coloured concrete (a blue/grey colour, with cuts that make it look like large tiles) vs exposed agg (also a dark colour). Whilst I do like the sandy exposed agg, it isn't the right colour for our façade.
We have driven around some new estates and overwhelming exposed agg is the most popular. Just wanted to hear people's thoughts and feedback on both of these? Is one better than the other? We went and looked at samples today at the concrete pre-mix place and the price difference between the 2 didn't seem to be that big so price isn't a worry.
Exposed Agg vs Coloured Concrete

Exposed Agg has so much more character...go for it. Any color concrete driveway will fail the color match test after a couple of years.
