Exposed Aggregate & Decorative Concrete in Kingston
Kingston and the Foreshore are among Canberra's most renovation-heavy, premium precincts, and the concrete work here needs to match — exposed aggregate, polished and coloured finishes rather than a plain budget slab. We work on renovated cottages, Foreshore apartments and lakeside courtyards across Kingston, and quote every job on-site so the finish, colour and price are agreed before anything is poured.

Exposed Aggregate Driveways and Entries
An exposed aggregate driveway or entry is one of the most requested finishes in Kingston, and it's easy to see why — it reads as a deliberate design choice, not just a functional pour. We wash or grind back the surface to the aggregate you choose, matching tone and texture to the rest of the property's finishes.
Polished Concrete for Kingston Foreshore Apartments
Foreshore apartments and townhouses increasingly call for polished concrete floors, both for new pours and existing slabs being brought up to a premium finish. We work around body corporate access and timing requirements, and grind and polish to the sheen level the space calls for.
Pool Surrounds and Outdoor Entertaining
Kingston's renovated homes and lakeside blocks often centre on outdoor entertaining, and the pool surround or patio is where the finish matters most. We pour exposed aggregate, coloured and plain concrete pool surrounds and patios to suit the coping, landscaping and existing paving already on site.
Finish Options for Kingston Homes
Most Kingston jobs choose a decorative finish rather than plain grey concrete. We offer exposed aggregate, polished, coloured and stamped concrete, and can talk through which suits your property's existing brick, render or landscaping at the free quote.

FAQs: Decorative Concrete Services We Offer in Kingston
What is exposed aggregate concrete and why is it popular in Kingston?›
Exposed aggregate is a decorative finish where the top layer of cement is washed or ground back to reveal the stone aggregate underneath, giving a textured, premium look. It suits Kingston's renovated homes and Foreshore apartments because it reads as a considered, high-end finish rather than a plain grey slab.
How much does an exposed aggregate driveway cost in Kingston?›
It depends on the area, the aggregate you choose, and site access. We provide a fixed price after a free on-site assessment, not a phone estimate, and can talk through aggregate and colour options at that stage.
Can you install polished concrete in a Kingston Foreshore apartment?›
Yes — we do polished concrete for both new pours and existing slabs in apartments and townhouses, and can work around body corporate access and timing requirements common in Foreshore buildings.
Do you build concrete pool surrounds for Kingston homes?›
Yes — we pour and finish pool surrounds to suit the pool coping and existing landscaping, in exposed aggregate, coloured or plain finishes depending on what the rest of the property calls for.
Are you licensed and insured for concreting work in the ACT?›
Yes, we're fully licensed and insured, and every driveway, patio and pool surround we pour is backed by a workmanship warranty.
