If you are planning on building features such as sidewalks, driveways or patios on your property, you should think about using exposed aggregate concrete for the surfaces. This material is an ideal choice because it is hardwearing. Therefore, you will have prolonged service even in adverse conditions. Also, this type of surface promotes safety because the aggregate reduces the risk of skidding. In addition, exposed aggregate concrete features are decorative and beautiful in almost any setting.

When you think of concrete, you probably think of some of the many large concrete structures you have visited, from major parking lots to huge stadiums. It can be easy to think of concrete as more of an industrial material that doesn't have a lot of place in a residential home, but you would be mistaken. Concrete can be used in many ways and probably makes up a significant portion of your home right now.
