-
Sand and/or gravel (the aggregates)

What You Can Do With Our Ready-Mix Concrete
Don’t limit yourself to simple, poured concrete. With the right contractor, you can use concrete to create natural-looking waterfalls, antique stone patios, or even shining wood floors!
Stained concrete creates a look all its own—beautiful colors that bring out the natural roughness and unique look of concrete. Stained concrete can also be combined with stamping to create beautiful textures and patterns like cobblestone or flagstone.
Professional contractors use special molds to imprint a specific pattern or texture into poured concrete, creating a cobblestone effect or even sandstone or planks.
This type of concrete can vary, depending on the look the customer wants. Exposed aggregate, a type of washed finish, exposes the rock underneath the surface to give the concrete a rugged, textured look. Read more about washed concrete.
