About exposed aggregate
Exposed aggregate exposes the decorative stone in the mix for a textured, slip-resistant and attractive finish popular for driveways and pool surrounds. It costs more than plain concrete but looks far better and hides marks. Ask to see samples, since the stone and colour vary a lot between mixes.
Getting quotes in Panorama
A good concreter will quote exposed aggregate clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Panorama. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.

Quick answers
How much does a concrete driveway cost?+
Plain concrete driveways commonly run $65 to $90 per square metre, with exposed aggregate and decorative finishes closer to $100 to $150, so a standard driveway often lands between $4,000 and $12,000. Site access, excavation and reinforcement drive the price. Get the thickness and steel specified in the quote.
How thick should a concrete driveway be?+
A residential driveway is typically 100mm thick with reinforcement, and thicker where heavier vehicles are involved. Thickness, a compacted base and steel reinforcement are what stop a driveway cracking under load. Be wary of a cheap quote that skimps on base preparation or steel.
How long before I can use new concrete?+
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours, but wait about seven days before driving on a new driveway and around 28 days for it to reach full strength. Rushing vehicle traffic onto fresh concrete is a common cause of early cracking.
