Aggregate Selection
The stone visible at the surface is one of the biggest factors influencing the finished appearance. Aggregate size, shape and natural colour can all change the character of the concrete.

DECORATIVE READY-MIX CONCRETE
Ready-Mix Concrete for Exposed Aggregate Projects
Exposed aggregate concrete creates a decorative, textured surface by revealing the natural stone within the concrete after placement. It is commonly used for driveways, patios, walkways, steps and other exterior concrete projects where durability and appearance both matter.
YAAT supplies ready-mix concrete for exposed aggregate applications throughout Metro Vancouver. Whether you are completing a small residential pour or need concrete for a decorative outdoor project, our smaller concrete trucks make it easier to order the quantity your project actually requires.
The final exposed aggregate appearance depends on the selected concrete mix, aggregate, colour options and the finishing method used on site. YAAT can help you order an appropriate concrete mix while your contractor or finishing crew manages placement and surface exposure.

EXPOSED AGGREGATE CONCRETE FAQ
Questions About Exposed Aggregate Concrete
Find answers about exposed aggregate ready-mix concrete, small-load delivery, project applications, colours, quantities and what to consider before placing an order.
What is exposed aggregate concrete? +
Exposed aggregate concrete is decorative concrete where part of the surface cement paste is removed during finishing to reveal the stone aggregate within the concrete. The result is a textured surface commonly used for driveways, patios, walkways, steps and other exterior concrete projects.
Does YAAT supply exposed aggregate concrete? +
YAAT supplies ready-mix concrete suitable for exposed aggregate applications. Project requirements should be discussed before ordering so the appropriate concrete mix, aggregate and available decorative options can be considered.
Does YAAT install or finish exposed aggregate concrete? +
No. YAAT supplies and delivers the ready-mix concrete. Placement, surface exposure, washing and final finishing are completed on site by the homeowner, contractor or concrete finishing crew.
Can exposed aggregate concrete be used for driveways? +
Yes. Exposed aggregate concrete is commonly selected for residential driveways because it combines a decorative appearance with the performance of a concrete surface. The concrete specification should still be selected according to the project's structural, environmental and placement requirements.
Can I use exposed aggregate concrete for a patio or walkway? +
Yes. Patios, garden paths, walkways, entrances and outdoor steps are common applications for exposed aggregate concrete. These projects can also be well suited to smaller concrete deliveries because they often require less concrete than large commercial pours.
Can exposed aggregate concrete come in different colours? +
Yes. Concrete colour can be incorporated into some decorative mixes to complement the natural aggregate and surrounding landscape. The final appearance depends on the concrete colour, aggregate selection and finishing technique used on site.
How much exposed aggregate concrete do I need? +
The quantity depends on the length, width and depth of your project. Measure the planned pour carefully and use YAAT's concrete calculator to estimate the required volume before requesting your delivery.
Use the YAAT Concrete Calculator →Can YAAT deliver a small load for an exposed aggregate project? +
Yes. YAAT specializes in small-load ready-mix concrete delivery. Smaller concrete trucks can be a practical option for projects such as patios, walkways, driveway sections, entrances and other residential pours where a large concrete load may not be required.
Learn About Mini Concrete Trucks →What affects the appearance of exposed aggregate concrete? +
The finished appearance can be influenced by aggregate size and colour, concrete colour, the amount of aggregate exposed and the finishing method used. Because the surface is finished on site, timing and workmanship also affect the final result.
What information should I have before ordering exposed aggregate concrete? +
It helps to know your project type, dimensions, estimated concrete volume, delivery location, access conditions, preferred delivery date and any decorative requirements such as colour or aggregate preferences. Your contractor or finishing crew should also confirm the concrete specifications required for the project.
