What's included
What decorative concreting covers
Exposed aggregate
Stones revealed in the surface for a textured, hard-wearing, high-end decorative finish.
Polished & honed concrete
Smooth, modern floors and surfaces with a subtle sheen, ideal for alfresco areas and interiors.
Architectural floating steps
Cantilevered concrete steps that create a clean, contemporary entrance or level change.
Feature slabs & benchtops
Bespoke concrete benchtops, hearths and feature slabs finished to your design.
What decorative concreting is
Decorative concreting is any concrete finished to look like a feature rather than a plain grey slab. The most popular is exposed aggregate, where the top layer of cement is washed back to reveal the stones set in the concrete, giving a textured, hard-wearing surface that suits driveways, paths and pool surrounds. Polished and honed finishes create a smoother, modern look for alfresco areas and interiors, and architectural floating steps add a clean, contemporary entrance.
The Geostone process
As an approved installer of Geostone Holcim, we prepare the area where the concrete is to be placed, then lay, spread, compact and finish it, including exposing the stone in the product to the manufacturer’s standard. Getting the preparation and timing right is what separates a decorative finish that lasts from one that doesn’t. You can read more about our Geostone approved installer accreditation and see the jobs we’ve completed with it.
Choosing the right finish
The best finish depends on where it’s going, how much traffic it gets and the look you’re after. We’ll talk you through the stone, colour and finish options, show you examples, and recommend what will hold up best for your situation.
