Exposed aggregate gives a slab the look of small stones set in cement. Decograde Concrete Resurfacing offers a pebble-mix resurfacing version over existing concrete, with no new pour. This guide covers its price.
Where aggregate sits on price
Pebble-mix resurfacing in Western Sydney is published at $140-$165 per m². That is higher than the $50-$100 per m² range for plain spray-on in the same guide.

Industry-typical range, not a quote. Your written estimate is the figure that counts.
Why stone costs more than colour
The mix is heavier and the application slower. Each section has to be worked while it is workable, then finished and sealed. The result is thicker and more textured than a thin spray coat.

Choosing the stone mix
Pebble size and colour change the look. A fine, neutral mix suits a modern house. Larger, mixed stones suit a garden driveway. Ask to see a sample board in daylight before you decide.
Cracks in ground that moves
Panania sits on reactive shale clay, which swells and shrinks with moisture. A crack that keeps moving will show through any new surface, so we check for movement first.

Looking after the surface afterwards
Stone finishes trap dirt and moss in the texture. A regular wash and a reseal when the sheen fades will keep it looking fresh.
What to ask for in the quote
- The stone mix and where you saw a sample.
- The thickness and the number of stages.
- The sealer and its re-coat interval.
- What is done about cracks.
