Our family owned and operated business has many years of experience in catering to the needs of concreters, builders and other trades involved in ready-mixed concrete, building and garden supplies.
In this time, we have established a reputation for providing a quality product teamed with prompt, professional service to both trade and householders.
We are especially proud of the attractive range of exposed aggregate concrete samples we've developed to compliment any home or commercial building. Exposed aggregate is an extremely popular, flexible and easy to maintain option for any concrete finish you may require.
Exposed aggregate is suitable for driveways, pathways, pool surrounds, pergola areas and many other applications where concrete is laid.
A variety of exposed aggregate samples can be viewed on our website gallery or visit us.

No, the aggregates chosen in each particular concrete mix are responsible for the colours and textures which result in the final product. This means that, unlike the traditional blue/ grey screenings used in "normal" grey concrete, a wide variety of options are now available. These aggregates (or stones, screenings or pebbles as you may refer to them) are throughout the entire batch of concrete.
Whilst many concreters may claim to be confident to "have a go" at laying exposed aggregate, we recommend that you choose a concreter who is experienced at this technique. Exposed aggregate can be a technique which is sensitive to many factors such as the correct use of the retardant chemical and proficient "washing back" technique. We are more than happy to recommend a concreter whom we know is experienced and professional in the laying of exposed aggregate concrete.
Whilst taking great care to constantly maintain ratios of aggregates in each sample mix, we cannot guarantee that your job will be exactly the same. Obviously, the aggregates may fall in different places and patterns and, if oxides are added, they may appear more "garish" when first laid but will mature to a softer hue over time. Whilst viewing samples on this website, a better appreciation of the finished product can be found in viewing our many in ground displays.
All customers are welcome and encouraged to bring along a spare tile or brick from existing landscaping to gauge the compatibility of design mixes when choosing a sample to suit your needs. For concreters, builders and landscapers, the on-site displays at Cranbourne Pre-Mix & Garden Supplies can streamline the selection and quoting process by referring your customer to directly view and choose a mix on site here.
Concrete is ordered in cubic metres. If a concreter is doing your job, he will be able to measure up and estimate an accurate quantity of concrete to be ordered. If working on a small job at home, we can help you out with quantities required if provided with accurate metric measurements.
