Concrete Driveway Finishes

Paul from Mount Albert

Concrete Driveway Finishes

Residential driveways require design and construction. Consideration needs to be made around type of finish.

Driveway finishes can include options such broom finish and exposed aggregate.

Broom Finish:

A smooth concrete surface finish will be treacherous to walk on if it is wet or frosty and evermore so if there is a slope. A light broom finish provides some skid resistance.

Exposed Aggregate:

Exposed Aggregates are achieved by washing away the top layer of concrete to leave the surface layer of aggregate exposed. Pebbles for this type of finish are sourced locally from regions throughout New Zealand and each has its own unique mix and “local” look.
