Aggregate in Boulevard, CA.
Aggregate for Boulevard homes, done by an experienced San Diego County concrete crew. Exposed aggregate gives you a textured, slip-resistant, character-rich surface that ages better than smooth concrete and looks coastal-California right. The work is 80 percent in the wash window, too early and you wash out cement paste, too late and you fight to expose the stone..
Why is aggregate different in Backcountry San Diego?
Backcountry aggregate finishes need air-entrained mixes and harder stone, soft sandstone aggregate breaks down under freeze-thaw within a few winters.
