Our 5-Step Approach to Exposed Aggregate Concrete in Columbus, OH
1. Site Protection and Preparation
We install protective plywood pathways and employ laser-guided grading for optimal drainage, then carefully remove existing materials and cut sod to prevent organic decomposition.
2. Foundation Establishment
We install a proper gravel base for structural support, establish precise layout specifications, and ensure all measurements align with your design vision.
3. Concrete Placement
We pour high-quality concrete and apply specialized retardant spray to the entire surface, which prevents the top layer from hardening while everything underneath cures properly.
4. Professional Exposure Process
We return the following day and power wash the treated surface, revealing the beautiful decorative aggregate stones underneath.
5. Final Finishing
We apply premium sealer to complete your stunning surface that will provide years of beautiful, durable service.
+ How long does exposed aggregate installation take?
Most projects span two to three days. Day one involves site preparation and excavation. Day two includes concrete placement and retardant application. Day three focuses on power washing, aggregate exposure, and sealer application.
+ Can you work with my specific design preferences?
Absolutely. We’ll guide you through the entire process to ensure your vision becomes reality, offering a second consultation after contract signing for complete design finalization.
+ When can I use my new exposed aggregate concrete patio in Columbus, OH?
You can walk on the surface the day after installation. For patios, we recommend waiting one week before placing furniture to allow complete surface curing and prevent potential marking.
+ Can exposed aggregate be used for driveways and walkways?
Absolutely. Exposed aggregate is incredibly durable and versatile—you can use it for everything from exposed aggregate concrete walkways in Columbus to driveway installations.
