Aggregate in Valley Center, CA.
Aggregate for Valley Center 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..
