Benefits An exposed aggregate finish gives you a spectacular look with minimal extra cost Also the surface created through this process is durable non skid and it is resistant to weather extremes and heavy traffic according to the website Concrete
Concrete is a material used in building construction consisting of a hard chemically inert particulate substance known as an aggregate usually made from different types of sand and gravel that is bonded together by cement and water

Two of the most commonly specified requirements for concrete used in the manufactured concrete products industry are the design compressive strength f c and the maximum water to cement ratio w/c
Aggregates not only increase concrete s strength Gravel deposits are produced through a natural process of weathering and erosion
The process of mining sand and gravel crushing stone combining the materials in a concrete plant and transporting concrete to the construction site requires very little energy and therefore only emits a relatively small amount of CO2 into the atmosphere
