Exposed aggregate

The top of the surface is washed back to reveal the stone in the mix - beautiful, slip-resistant and incredibly durable. Hides tyre marks, copes brilliantly with Tablelands wet seasons, and adds real value to the property. Our most-requested finish.

Built to last

Why our driveways last.

A driveway lives or dies on what's underneath it - and how the joints are cut. We don't cut corners on either.

  • Proper base prep and compaction before any pour.
  • Correct mesh or rebar reinforcement for the load.
  • Expansion joints sized for Tablelands heat.
  • Drainage planning for the wet season.
  • Control joints cut early and in the right places.
  • Optional sealing for decorative finishes.
