Exposed Aggregate Concrete
Want a concrete finish that looks premium and goes the distance? Exposed aggregate reveals natural stone for a tough, non-slip surface that suits modern and heritage homes alike. Ideal for driveways, paths, patios and pool surrounds, we design, pour and expose for a consistent, long-wearing result. Based in Ballarat and Bacchus Marsh, we also service surrounding West Melbourne suburbs — call 0427 834 948 or request a free quote today.
Why Choose Exposed Aggregate
- Safer under foot: naturally textured, slip-resistant surface.
- Low-maintenance good looks: hides dirt and tyre marks better than plain finishes.
- Customisable: choose stone size/colour, contrast and borders to suit your façade.
- Built to last: steel-reinforced slab, quality sealer, compliant workmanship.
Popular Uses
- Driveways – premium street appeal with year-round performance.
- Paths & walkways – durable access with neat saw-cut lines.
- Patios & outdoor living – ties alfresco and garden together.
- Pool surrounds – textured finish with excellent grip.
- Stairs & landings – robust treads with matching borders.
- Driveway crossovers – council-compliant concrete and finishes.
Your Finish Options
- Aggregate look: from subtle river pebbles to bolder, high-contrast mixes.
- Stone size: fine (smoother feel) through to larger (stronger texture).
- Colour tone: natural, warm or charcoal-leaning; borders can match or contrast.
- Borders & features: picture-frame edges, garden edging, step nosings.
- Sealer: enhances colour and protects against staining and UV.
Looking to add some colour to your paths or borders? Explore our range of coloured concrete to find the perfect match for exposed areas.
How We Install (What to Expect)
- Measure & design: site check, levels, drainage and finish selection.
- Base prep: excavation, compacted sub-base and formwork.
- Steel reinforcement: mesh and chairs as specified for the job.
- Pour & expose: concrete placed and levelled; top paste carefully removed to reveal stone.
- Saw-cuts & clean-up: neat control joints added.
- Seal & handover: premium sealer applied; care instructions provided.
Care & Maintenance
- Keep clean with a gentle hose down and occasional soft-bristle broom.
- Avoid harsh solvents or metal scrapers.
- Plan a periodic reseal (typically every few years, traffic-dependent) to refresh colour and protection.
- Use driveway tyre-turning gently in hot weather to minimise scuffing.

What Our Happy Customers Say
Great Team
A+++++++workmanship
Highly recommended!!!!!!!!
All was easy to use
“Mick concreted our pool and driveway area. The job came up great 👍.”
Bloody ripper job by the All Set Concreting crew out here in Bacchus Marsh! Got ‘em in for a classic plain driveway—flat, hard, no-nonsense—and they absolutely smashed it.
The boys rocked up on time, had a proper chinwag, then got stuck in like it was second nature. Full of good banter, but all business when it came to the pour—clean lines, level as a footy oval, and solid enough to park a Mack truck on!
Can’t fault a thing. No drama, no dodgy shortcuts—just good honest work from a bunch of top tradies. If you want a driveway that’ll outlast your shed, give these legends a bell. Cheers fellas, stoked with the result.
All Set Concreting were so easy to work with! From the initial consultation to the final finishing touches, their professionalism and expertise shone through. The team was punctual, efficient, and meticulous in their work. I highly recommend All Set Concreting for anyone looking for top-notch service and exceptional results!
A great job by Mick and the boys, will definitely be using them in the future.
Mick and the team have helped our excavation business immensely. They take pride in their work and nothing is ever to difficult. This outstanding crew brings the right attitude and work ethic, we look forward to an ongoing relationship with this team. All Set Concreting will be our only choice for any concrete works.
Guys are great to deal with and reliable. Thanks for a great jobs fellas and I would highly recommend to anyone.
Couldn’t have been happier with Mick and the guys from All Set Concerting. We had them in to do our driveway and then had them back again a few months later to get our front landscaping started. Both times we had a great experience.
Thanks All Set Concreting for our fantastic outdoor area. Your set up and professionalism are top quality, arrived on time, quote was on point and went above and beyond to make sure our job was finished on time. Highly recommended!!!!
Mick and his team did an amazing job. The quality of their work is worth more than 5 stars. Easy to deal with and reasonable price. I highly recommend All Set Concreting.
Had Mick and the crew from All Set Concreting concrete a basketball court for our kids in the backyard. Outstanding service from start to finish, professional and courteous all the way. The finished product is amazing and the kids love it. Great price, more competitive than others in the local area, but most importantly, fabulous workmanship and a great finish. Highly recommend!

If you are going to use ANY other concreting company, you’re making a mistake. Mick and his team are outstanding. Mick’s communication, punctuality and professionalism is only outdone by their price and finished product. Could not be any happier with our driveway and shed slab. They left the site cleaner than it started! Thanks Mick.
Mick and the team were fantastic from start to finish. Their communication was excellent and they were very helpful with their suggestions and guidance. We changed the plans numerous times but nothing was too much trouble for them to implement. The end result is outstanding and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks to Mick and the team!
We could not be happier with the charcoal concrete work done by All Set Concreting in Bacchus Marsh 💪🏽 Their expertise and attention to detail is second to none! Highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable and expert concrete work. If you want quality work, look no further!!!
Mick and his crew are wonderful. For the most down to earth, professional and reliable team, we highly recommend ‘All Set Concreting’. We are so pleased with their work that they are now our ‘go to’ Concreters.
Out of all the companies I have dealt with for our driveway concreting, All Set Concreting was the easiest to deal with, price-competitive, and very thorough in covering all grounds with great advice.
Justin, Mick and Justin did a fantastic Job on my concrete. Everything was finished perfectly, and nothing seemed to be too much hassle for them. They have all the right equipment, use quality concrete and don’t cut corners like some of the other dodgy quotes I got. I’m happy to recommend them, and even happy to show of their job to anyone. Thank you again.
Thank you All Set Concreting, use done a excellent job…
We recently had our driveway and outdoor area concreted by All Set Concreting. Mick was extremely friendly and helpful when helping us with design ideas and suggestions. We got a few quotes from other local concreting companies but found All Set to be the most competitive and just thought their overall approach was more professional. The work was completed on time and the finished product was even better than we hoped for. We would definitely use All Set again and would wholeheartedly recommend them to our friends and family.
Rang mic and he came out and quoted that day. New large exposed drive and cross over. Completed work was perfect. Guys great to deal with. Highly recommend
I received an email response very quickly, an onsite quote was arranged and Mick came out to see me… on time. Day 1, co-workers as friendly and efficient as Mick. Excavation and set up was completed on time, even after some unforeseen drainage and plumbing issues. Day 2, on time again, concrete trucks arrived on time and my new Charcoal coloured 130sqm driveway was laid to perfection in a little under 5hrs. Their quote wasn’t my most expensive quote, nor were they my cheapest, but they were extremely competitive and got what I paid for…”QUALITY!”
Mick was very professional and prompt. He turned up when he said he would and completed all work on time and within expectations. I found him to be very pleasant to deal with and would recommend him for any future concreting jobs.
