In the world of modern landscape design and construction, exposed aggregate concrete has emerged as a leading choice for creating durable, visually appealing surfaces that enhance outdoor spaces. At Panorama Concrete Paving, we specialize in crafting stunning exposed aggregate concrete installations that combine aesthetic beauty with practical functionality. Let's delve into the features, benefits, and applications of exposed aggregate concrete to showcase why it's an excellent choice for your landscaping projects.
What is Exposed Aggregate Concrete?
Exposed aggregate concrete is a decorative concrete finish achieved by removing the top layer of cement paste to reveal the natural beauty of the aggregates (such as stones, pebbles, or shells) embedded within. This process exposes the textured surface of the aggregates, creating a unique and visually appealing finish that can be customized to suit different design preferences.
