The exposed aggregate concrete patio installation process.

Once your design is finalized, we will then begin your Macomb concrete project. We begin by removing all dirt and concrete where necessary.  We then specify a construction area.  Then, we build the framework that will house your concrete creation.  Next, we install crushed concrete as a solid base and compact it to ensure a solid footing.  Steel rod reinforcements are then added throughout your entire project.  Once the frame construction is built and approved, the cement truck arrives! A powdered pigment is then added into the cement truck to be mixed thoroughly as a base color. The cement used in this project will contain a peastone aggregate mix, rather than the typical limestone mixture. This will be the foundation for the exposed aggregate finish. 

The cement is now ready to be poured and finished.  After allowing the necessary drying time, a concrete retarder agent is evenly applied to the surface of the project being exposed. Concrete retarded prevents the topmost layer of the concrete from drying, allowing us to exposed the underlying beauty later. Then, we strategically sawcut the entire project. After allowing the cement to properly cure, our finishing crew will power wash the layer of uncured concrete away, exposing the beautiful peastone underneath. The final step in the process is to stain and seal the project, revealing the brilliance of your exposed aggregate. Your concrete is now yours to enjoy!
