Exposed Aggregate Brisbane

Add texture, colour and long-lasting appeal to your next project with exposed aggregate concrete.

At Macqueensland Constructions (MQC), we specialise in exposed aggregate driveways and outdoor surfaces that combine durability with natural style. As one of the most sought-after decorative concrete finishes in Brisbane, exposed aggregate offers a striking visual texture by revealing the raw beauty of stones, shells, silicates and crushed quarry rock just beneath the surface.
This finish is created by removing the top layer of cement to expose the decorative aggregate within the mix. The result is a slip-resistant surface that’s both practical and beautiful—ideal for Brisbane’s outdoor lifestyle.

What Is Exposed Aggregate?

Exposed aggregate is a decorative concrete finish achieved by removing the outer cement layer to reveal the stones (aggregates) beneath. These stones are intentionally selected for their size, shape, and colour to create a distinctive finish. The technique can vary, from water washing to surface retarders or sandblasting, but all methods result in a unique textured surface that’s as hard-wearing as it is attractive.
