Exposed Aggregate Power Wash & Seal

Exposed aggregate is a popular alternative to stamped concrete or pavers for decorative hardscape. That’s why we have invested countless hours experimenting with different types of concrete sealers to find the best possible solution for our Macomb and Oakland County, Michigan customers with exposed aggregate.

Professional sealing from Brown Hardscape will protect your aggregate from weathering and erosion as well as provide a glistening sheen aesthetic. For exposed aggregate, we use a choice of special high gloss sealer or unique “brown tone” sealer. Unlike traditional concrete sealers, it offers better consistency, a more even color, and an attractive “honey-glazed” finish.

Our exposed aggregate sealants contain slip-resistant additives and consist of only the finest acrylics to ensure a sufficient seal that will last throughout the seasons. 

Unlike our competitors, at Brown Hardscape we never ignore the presence of a existing sealer on exposed aggregate surfaces. The professionals at Brown Hardscape always make sure they use the correct amount of sealer, according to the current condition of the substrate. Some surfaces contain sealer leftover from previous applications, others are completely dry and require multiple coats of sealer to properly protect your surface.

We start applying exposed aggregate sealer by spraying small sections of concrete at a time before back rolling the entire surface for a clean and uniform finish. Check out our amazing exposed aggregate sealing testimonials by clicking here.

Preferred sealers for this surface type: Euclid Browntone, Vexcon AC1315 HG, Vexcon AC1315, Masterkure 300SB

At Brown Hardscape we always thoroughly power-wash every treated surface with industrial grade pressure-washer and specialty high pressure nozzles. If the surface is not prepared correctly, discoloring and other issues could appear in the future. 

We take comprehensive care cleaning our customers exposed aggregate patios and driveways to ensure our exposed aggregate sealer and stain will adhere correctly. As a result, an aggregate sealer will last longer in the intense seasonal climate of Macomb and Oakland County, MI.

Aggregate Staining

Many customers with exposed aggregate choose to accent their space with a stained border.  A stained borders or accent is a great way to add depth and contrast to your patios and walkways.

As with anything that resides in the elements, eventually any sealer will wear down over the years. If not properly treated at the correct intervals, the protection of your sealer will diminish, and the color and stain of the surface will fade and appear “bleached”.

Before exposed aggregate sealing project, we will determine if staining any exposed aggregate borders or accents is necessary. If applicable, we will match the original color, or apply a completely new stain depending on the condition of the cement, and the preference of the customer. We can also stain surfaces with no preexisting color as a primary measure to protect the life of the concrete, including traditional cement.
