Exposed aggregate concrete reveals the natural beauty of the stone and gravel within the concrete mix, creating a textured, decorative surface that's both attractive and slip-resistant. Minnesota Concrete Experts installs exposed aggregate surfaces for homeowners across Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Fridley, and the Twin Cities metro area.
This finish is popular for pool decks, patios, walkways, and driveways because of its natural look and excellent traction — even when wet. We can customize the aggregate blend with different stone colors and sizes to match your home's style, from warm earth tones to cool grays.
Exposed aggregate is one of the most durable decorative concrete finishes available. Unlike stamped concrete that relies on surface color, the texture and appearance of exposed aggregate goes through the full depth of the slab. It stands up to heavy traffic, salt, and Minnesota winters with minimal maintenance.

From first call to finished project, here's what to expect when you work with Minnesota Concrete Experts.
We help you choose the aggregate blend that best matches your vision. Options include natural river rock, crushed granite, quartz, and specialty stones in a range of colors and sizes. We bring samples so you can see exactly what the finished surface will look like.
We prepare the site with excavation, compacted gravel sub-base, and precision forms. Proper base work ensures a flat, stable surface that shows off the aggregate evenly.
We pour concrete with the selected aggregate, screed and float the surface, then carefully wash away the top layer of cement paste at precisely the right time to reveal the stone beneath. Timing is critical for a consistent, even exposure.
After curing, we apply a clear sealer that enhances the stone colors and provides stain protection. The sealer gives the surface a subtle sheen while locking in the natural beauty of the aggregate.
We handle every phase of your project — new installation, repair, and complete replacement.
