Exposed aggregate concrete is a decorative style of concrete suitable for use as a driveway, sidewalk, or patio.  The appeal is in the finish, which exposes the smooth textured small stones and pebbles that are part of the concrete. Exposed aggregate provides some visual interest by creating random patterns, and a variety of colours. Very little of the exposed surface is the characteristic dull grey of a smooth concrete finish.
