Exposed Aggregate Concrete in Peoria, AZ

Home › Service Areas › Peoria › Exposed Aggregate Concrete

If you want the texture and slip resistance of natural stone without paver joints to maintain, exposed aggregate is one of the toughest decorative finishes we pour. We build exposed aggregate driveways, patios, and walkways across Peoria, including near P83 and the Lake Pleasant area.

As a third-generation, family-owned concrete company led by an active firefighter, we bring the same precision and dependability to your project that the job demands — work built to hold up under pressure.

Why Peoria Homeowners Trust Cortez Concrete for Exposed Aggregate Concrete

Getting a clean, even aggregate exposure takes precise timing — wash the surface too early and the stones fall out, too late and they never show. Northern Peoria's lots near Lake Pleasant tend to be rockier and more sloped, which usually means more grading and retaining work than flatter lots closer to the valley.

Here's what we get right on every job:

Naturally slip-resistant texture that performs well around pools and entryways even when wet
Precise wash-and-expose timing for a clean, even stone reveal across the whole surface
Border and banding options that combine exposed aggregate with a smooth or stamped edge
Aggregate selection from local river rock to imported decorative stone, matched to your color palette

Base Prep & Forming — Standard structural base work, same as any quality concrete pour.
Pour & Seed — Concrete poured with aggregate seeded or mixed throughout, depending on the look you want.
Wash & Expose — Surface washed at precisely the right set stage to reveal the stone without dislodging it.

Local Knowledge for Exposed Aggregate Concrete in Peoria

Peoria permits through the City of Peoria, and its fast-growing north end near Lake Pleasant carries HOA review in communities like Vistancia.

Northern Peoria's lots run rockier and more sloped toward the lake, which usually means more grading and retaining work than the flatter valley-floor neighborhoods.

That local knowledge is the difference between exposed aggregate work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Peoria property owners keep calling Cortez Concrete.

The Family Behind Every Peoria Pour

Cortez Concrete isn't a franchise or a fly-by-night crew. We're a family business, now in our third generation, built on the same values our grandfather started with — showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind it. Our owner still works as an active firefighter, and that same sense of discipline, safety, and attention to detail carries over into every project we pour in Peoria and across the Valley.

Hire Cortez Concrete and you're working directly with the family whose name is on the truck — not a call center, and not a crew you'll never see again.

Exposed Aggregate Concrete in Peoria: Frequently Asked Questions

How does exposed aggregate compare to stamped concrete?

Exposed aggregate shows real stone texture throughout the surface, while stamped concrete uses a patterned mold pressed into colored concrete — different look, similar durability.

What is exposed aggregate concrete?

It's concrete finished by washing away the top layer of cement paste to reveal the decorative stone aggregate mixed into the mud, giving a textured, natural stone look.

Can I choose the type of stone?

Yes, we offer a range of aggregate options from local river rock to imported decorative stone in different sizes and colors.

Does exposed aggregate need to be sealed?

Yes, sealing protects the stone and cement paste from UV fading and helps keep the surface easier to clean.

Do I need a permit for exposed aggregate work in Peoria?

It depends on the scope, but most exposed aggregate work in Peoria is permitted through the City of Peoria, and we handle the submittal and any required inspections for you. We'll confirm exactly what your project needs during your free estimate.
