Why choose exposed aggregate?

Hard-wearing

The stone surface stands up to cars, foot traffic and Melbourne weather.

Slip-resistant

The textured finish gives better grip than smooth concrete, even when wet.

Low maintenance

It hides tyre marks and dirt, and only needs a reseal every few years.

Adds street appeal

Choose from a range of stone blends and colours to suit your home.

Family owned, 15+ years

A local family business with over 15 years of hands-on concreting experience.

One team, start to finish

Here’s what homeowners across Melbourne say about working with Cretex Concreting.

Great service, good price and great finish. Me along with all of the owners were very happy with the quality of the job, they are a very organised and competent team. Would certainly recommend.

We had plain concrete poured for our backyard slab. Everything was done perfectly and within the timeline. Couldn't ask for a smoother process.

The coloured concrete in our front yard has transformed the look of our home. Cretex nailed it. Friendly team and great workmanship.

They were on time, professional, and did an excellent job. The concrete work was top quality and finished exactly how I wanted. Will definitely use them again. Thank you guys.

If you’re looking for a quality, reliable and very good workmanship look no further than these guys.

Common questions

How long does an exposed aggregate driveway take?

Most residential driveways take two to four days on site, depending on size and access. You can usually walk on it after a day and drive on it after about a week.

Do you remove the old driveway?

Yes. We handle excavation and soil removal as part of the job, so you only deal with one team.

Do you do multi-unit driveways?

Yes. We regularly pour driveways for multi-unit developments and can match the finish across every unit.

Can you do the crossover at the same time?

Yes. We can build a council-compliant crossover as part of the same job, so the finish is consistent from the street to your garage.
