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.
