Understanding exposed aggregate finish costs in Australia
An exposed aggregate finish in Australia typically costs around $70 to $100 per square metre in 2026, rising to $110 to $150 per square metre for decorative stone or small, fiddly areas.
Exposed aggregate washes back the top layer of concrete to reveal the stone, giving a durable, non-slip, decorative finish. The stone choice and area drive the price, and it needs periodic resealing.
