In Melbourne, the cost of exposed aggregate concrete is usually between $100 and $150 per square metre. It costs more than regular concrete, but the extra expense is worth it because it lasts longer, doesn't slip, and looks modern and nice.
Factors affecting price include:
For instance, a 30m² exposed aggregate driveway could cost between $3,500 and $5,000, depending on the options you choose.
Exposed aggregate can endure 20 to 30 years or longer if it is laid and sealed correctly. It can handle Melbourne's weather and busy regions with little maintenance.
Yes, sealing is strongly recommended. A good sealer keeps your exposed aggregate surface from getting stained, damaged by the weather, or fading. It also enhances the stones' colour and texture, making the surface easier to clean and visually appealing. To maintain that fresh, high-end look, resealing every two to three years is advised.
