Exposed Aggregate Driveways and Paths for Wide Bay Homes
Exposed aggregate gives you the strength of concrete with a decorative stone face. In Bundaberg’s climate it’s a smart choice: it stays cooler underfoot than some dark paving, handles summer storms, and keeps looking tidy with simple cleaning.
Choosing a stone blend
Blends range from soft greys and creams to warmer browns and mixed river stones. We’ll help you pick a blend that suits your house colour, landscaping and how much sparkle or contrast you want when the surface is wet.
Driveways that work hard
A good exposed aggregate driveway needs the same solid base and falls as any other driveway – the decorative face is the finishing step, not a shortcut. We don’t skimp on preparation.
Paths and outdoor areas
Exposed aggregate paths link the front door, side gate and backyard without looking utilitarian. Combined with garden beds and lighting, they create a finished outdoor setting.
Sealing and aftercare
Some owners choose a sealer to enrich colour and help with stain resistance. We’ll advise when sealing is suitable and how to look after the surface in the first weeks after the pour.
Local projects
We complete exposed aggregate driveways and outdoor areas across Bundaberg, Bargara, Innes Park, Burnett Heads and surrounding suburbs.
Exposed Aggregate FAQs
Is exposed aggregate slippery when wet?
The textured stone face generally offers good grip. Very smooth or heavily sealed surfaces can feel different – we’ll advise based on the blend and finish.
Can exposed aggregate be used for paths as well as driveways?
Yes. It’s popular for both, and for pool surrounds and entertaining areas.
How do I clean exposed aggregate?
Sweep regularly and wash with a hose or mild cleaner. Avoid harsh acids unless a professional recommends them for a specific stain.
Can you repair a damaged section?
Small repairs are possible, though matching an aged blend exactly can be tricky. Sometimes extending or resurfacing a panel is the cleaner result.
Do you offer coloured binders with the stone?
Yes, coloured oxide in the mix can warm or cool the overall look. We’ll show options when quoting.
How long before I can walk or drive on it?
Foot traffic is usually fine after about 24 hours; vehicles typically after around 7 days. We’ll confirm for your pour.
