Exposed Aggregate in Evansville & Newburgh, IN
Natural stone texture revealed through the concrete surface for timeless appeal.
Premium Exposed Aggregate Finishes
Exposed aggregate concrete showcases the natural beauty of the stone and gravel within the mix, creating a textured, slip-resistant surface that looks and feels like natural stone. McCaslin Concrete Contractors installs exposed aggregate driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks across Evansville, Newburgh, and the Tri-State area for homeowners who want a decorative finish with excellent durability and low maintenance.
The process involves pouring concrete with a selected aggregate mix — typically containing decorative pebbles, river rock, or crushed granite — and then carefully washing or chemically retarding the top surface layer before it fully hardens to reveal the aggregate beneath. The timing and technique are critical. Remove too little surface paste and the aggregate does not show; remove too much and stones can loosen. Our crew has the experience to get this right consistently, delivering surfaces with uniform aggregate exposure and strong stone retention.
Exposed aggregate is one of the most practical decorative concrete options for Indiana. The natural texture provides excellent slip resistance in wet conditions, making it ideal for pool decks, walkways, and entryways. The stone surface is highly durable and hides minor wear and dirt better than smooth concrete. We seal every exposed aggregate surface to protect the stones, enhance the color of the aggregate, and simplify cleaning for years to come.
