Exposed Aggregate Driveways
Decorative exposed aggregate driveway construction for Sydney homes that need a durable, slip-resistant surface with strong street appeal.
What exposed aggregate driveways includes
Exposed aggregate suits driveways where the surface needs to handle vehicles, foot traffic and weather while still looking finished. Bullion Concrete prepares the sub-base, sets falls for drainage, places reinforcement where required, pours the concrete and exposes the stone finish before sealing the surface.
- Best suited to: new home driveways, front entries, battleaxe access strips, renovated street frontages.
- Typical work: site set-out, base preparation, formwork, reinforcement, aggregate exposure, sealing.
- Site considerations: driveway fall, garage threshold height, street water flow, vehicle turning space.

How Bullion Concrete approaches the site
Concrete work depends on preparation. Bullion Concrete plans the site around access, existing levels, drainage, base material, formwork, reinforcement, finish choice, weather and curing. The goal is a surface that looks clean, works with the property and is ready for daily use.
- Check access, levels and the finish required around the garage, kerb and path.
- Prepare a stable base before formwork, reinforcement and concrete placement.
- Expose the aggregate evenly, clean down the area and apply a suitable sealer after curing requirements are met.
What to prepare before booking
A short brief is usually enough to scope the next step. Helpful details include the suburb, rough dimensions, access width, photos, existing surface condition, preferred finish, timing and whether council or builder details are involved.
- Send photos of the driveway, side access, existing concrete, levels, drains and nearby doors or garages.
- Share plans, measurements, council crossover details or shed and garage specifications if available.
- Confirm whether old concrete needs removal, whether trucks can access the area and the finish you prefer.

- Can exposed aggregate be used on sloped driveways? Yes, with the right base, fall and finish selection it can provide useful grip.
- Does exposed aggregate need sealing? Sealing helps protect the finish and makes routine cleaning easier.
- Can the stone colour be chosen? The final look depends on the concrete mix and aggregate selection, which can be discussed before the pour.
