 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience from start to finish! The team just completed our new plain concrete driveway and crossover, and the workmanship is top-tier. The finish is perfect, the expansion joints are sharp, and the levels align beautifully with the road. They handled the entire process professionally, arrived on time, and left the site spotless. The price is competitive and Ben has organised very well with city council inspection.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ★★★★★ I recently engaged Cura Concrete to extend an existing driveway and couldn't be happier with the result. From the initial site inspection through to completion, Ben was professional, responsive and easy to deal with. The quote was detailed, communication was excellent and the crew arrived on time as promised. The workmanship was first class. The charcoal coloured concrete finish looks fantastic, the levels and falls are spot on, and the site was left neat and tidy at the end of the day. It's refreshing to deal with a contractor who turns up when they say they will, delivers exactly what was discussed and takes pride in their work. I would have no hesitation recommending Ben and the team at Cura Concrete to anyone looking for quality concreting work. Thanks again Ben and the crew. Ron Ellerbock Boronia

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before I chose Ben and Juls I arranged for multiple quotations from different providers. By far, the quotation from Ben and Juls was the most complete, had the most amount of details including technical specification, and was much easier to understand. I had to wait for a while for my booking because they were busy but after the pour, I now understand why they are busy. I rate myself as very fuzzy, super attention to detail, and in general not an easy to please client. Their work, I rate 11 out of 10. I highly recommend this team, they are honest, amazing at their craft and hardworking.

Exposed Aggregate FAQs

Is Exposed aggregate more expensive than regular concrete?NGITCSupport2026-04-02T21:48:40+11:00

Is Exposed aggregate more expensive than regular concrete?

Exposed aggregate concrete in Melbourne can cost twice as much as plain or standard concrete of the same class. This difference is because exposed aggregate concrete has an additional material cost, and finishing requires more labour.

Depending on its strength, exposed aggregate concrete in Australia can cost anywhere between $90 and $100 per square metre. Regular concrete, in contrast, costs $60–$85 per square metre.

Exposed aggregate concrete is pricier since it requires more time and materials than other types of concrete. This concrete is also extremely adaptable, and you can match it with all types of designs due to the differently-textured surface mixes that are readily accessible.

What is exposed aggregate?NGITCSupport2026-04-02T21:49:07+11:00

What is exposed aggregate?

Exposed aggregate concrete is a type of ornamental concrete mostly used for driveways, sidewalks, patios, and other outdoor places. We achieve this design by removing the top layer of cement paste and exposing the underlying aggregate.

We can use your chosen combination of sand, cement, and decorative concrete materials like stones, pebbles, granite, or gravel for the top layer. There are many different exposed aggregate textures and sizes to pick from. Using this paving style, you can coordinate your exterior with your home’s overall design.

Is Exposed aggregate worth it?NGITCSupport2026-04-02T21:49:35+11:00

Is Exposed aggregate worth it?

Although exposed aggregate concrete is pricier than other materials, with a starting price of $80 per square metre, it is definitely worth the cost. Exposed aggregate concrete is a fantastic option for those who dislike performing extensive upkeep on their walkways. It’s a low maintenance surface, so you don’t need to do much to maintain the surface’s stability, which reduces periodic cleaning and sealing.

You can use exposed aggregate concrete for pool decks, patios, and sidewalks. Due to its resistance to heavy objects, it is also a fantastic option for a driveway. Even in the face of changeable weather, it can withstand high and low temperatures.

Is Exposed aggregate the same as Pebblecrete?NGITCSupport2026-04-02T21:50:18+11:00

Is Exposed aggregate the same as Pebblecrete?

Yes. Pebblecrete is commonly known as exposed aggregate concrete. It is an uncomplicated, affordable, non-slip surface that works well for renovations and low-budget new construction. Additionally, you can paint or stencil pebblecrete with fresh colours and designs to improve the appearance of your front yard.

Pebblecrete is also a popular option for driveways and pool surrounds that are non-slip, providing character to patios and walkways. It is more expensive than regular or plain concrete but around the same as pavers, starting at about $80 per square metre.

Is Exposed aggregate good for driveways?NGITCSupport2026-04-02T21:50:51+11:00

Is Exposed aggregate good for driveways?

Exposed aggregate is an excellent choice for driveways since it can withstand strong traffic and vehicle loads. Many use it to frequently cover driveways, patios, and pool surrounds in Australia.

Aggregates are common for outdoor use because the substance is highly robust. Exposed aggregate concrete can easily withstand weather damage as well as wear and tear. You can commonly find it in parking lots and public areas due to all the durability, low maintenance, and anti-slip qualities it offers. Moreover, exposed aggregate concrete can outlive stamped concrete and any other type of finish and withstand cold and hot temperatures.

Are aggregate concrete driveways slip-resistant?NGITCSupport2026-04-02T21:52:08+11:00

Are aggregate concrete driveways slip-resistant?

Yes, aggregate concrete driveways offer superb slip resistance. Their naturally textured, rough surface provides underfoot grip because of the exposed stones. This aspect makes them safer compared to plain concrete, so the finish feels more stable to walk on. Perfect for pool areas and driveways, it is an excellent choice, especially for wet conditions.
