​EXPOSED AGGREGATE CONCRETE

The exposed aggregate concrete surface is quickly taking the place of the standard concrete surfaces formerly used in outdoor residential and professional buildings throughout the midwest.  Exposed aggregate delivers durability and longevity that far exceeds others in its class all while delivering a custom upscale visual effect that appeals to todays homeowners. The natural stone and aggregates used in the concrete mix blend seamlessly with any exterior design and landscape, exposed aggregate adds curb appeal as an immediate design element enhancement that other exterior surfaces in its class can not compete with. Potoroka Concrete, as the leading specialists in decorative aggregates, knows the benefits this surface delivers to our customers.  We have years of customer testimonials from past projects. Our customers love the surface and the ease in caring for it.  A professionally installed exposed aggregate surface will look great year after year,  it delivers a warm space for gathering or entertaining, it adds a custom element to driveways, entrances and a safe anti-slip for swimming pools.  Exposed aggregate is a winner in exterior surfaces like no other.

What Is Exposed Aggregate Concrete and why is it so Popular today?

What is Exposed Aggregate Concrete?  Other than the hottest material used in residential exterior surfaces today Exposed aggregate concrete is an upscale natural form of decorative concrete surface.  Exposed Aggregate gets its upscale look from the natural aggregates (the aggregate is commonly a locally sourced stone, pebble or rock) or other medium additives that is in and mixed throughout the concrete mix.  The exposed surface is achieved during the installation, one of the final steps of the decorative exposed aggregate surface technique is removing a very thin top layer of cement paste or cement cream and revealing the underlying aggregate or custom additives that was chosen for the mix. This process transforms the concrete slab and delivers a beautiful natural surface.

​Why is Exposed Aggregate Concrete the leading decorative exterior surface choice today.  With such a long list of attributes including, Versatility in Designs,  Exposed Aggregate can be paired with other surfaces and landscape materials, its upscale natural surface appearance blends seamlessly in any environment its installed in. It's a sure winner at delivering an upscale custom look to any design.   Durability,  Exposed Aggregate's mix composition makes this surface extremely durable and forgiving in Midwest climate changes, when installed properly exposed aggregate will out perform its counterparts and competitors 5 to 1.  Safe skid-resistant surface, natural stone texture makes it a great anti- slip surface around swimming pools, walkways and driveways,  Low Maintenance,  basically a set it and forget it maintenance free surface, unlike most other decorative exterior surfaces, Exposed aggregates low maintenance requirements makes it a winner over all its surface counterparts here in the Midwest. Today's customers want materials that look great and require very little maintenance, exposed aggregate delivers that in spades. Natural Material Surface, exposed aggregate is a 100% natural aggregate mix, unlike other decorative exterior surfaces that are simulations to resemble or mimic  another material.

 

   

​​​We at Potoroka Concrete believe that Exposed Aggregate concrete is a superior exterior concrete surface that's a great choice for any home project or new construction.  The only draw back, unlike other standard concrete finishes, installing exposed aggregate requires technique and an experienced skilled crew familiar with the materials to accomplish a perfect finish that will perform and last as expected.  Unfortunately,  what one contractor may find quality can fall short of what a proper aggregate installation is.  Due to Exposed aggregates huge popularity in recent years, many installers are new to it with limited installations under them.  All aggregate finishes are not equal and you should do your due diligence and view any contractors work you are considering. Concrete is a significant investment, why not hire someone with the most extensive history in it to guarantee your final results do not fall flat.   We know 100%  when Exposed Aggregate is installed by a professional highly experienced crew, this surface will deliver the stunning results your after and it will outlast any of its competitors. Our customers are testimony to this year after year.
