Exposed aggregate is a method of allowing one to see these aggregates or exposing them to view. This is used more and more in decorative concrete with some fantastic results.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>Some of the Exposed Aggregate used are basalts, granite, quartz, or limestone in all sorts of natural colours.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>You can use this decorative aggregate anyplace you would use plain concrete\u2013driveways, entrances, steps, paths, patios, to name a few. There are a few different methods that are used to expose the aggregate. These are:<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>MONOLITHIC: The aggregates are mixed into the concrete at the start and just poured.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>SEEDED: Seeding is when you place or \u201cseed\u201d the aggregate on the surface of the concrete after it is\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\">poured. It is then floated (smoothed out) by hand.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p><p>OVERLAY: Overlaying is used to give an older concrete installation which is in pretty good shape a face-lift. The aggregate is mixed into a topcoat material and applied to the existing concrete.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36e6a53a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"36e6a53a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Concrete and Stone Repairs<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789446 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"789446\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Have an old concrete or stone patio in need of repairs?
