    I have seen this done a different way for driveways. They use a high power sprayer to "wash" the cement binding from the aggregate. With a darker concrete this exposed aggregate wash was very nice for a driveway.

    Very nice work, you are professional, I like to see some gravel over the ground, two inches,after you poor the concrete on top, and you may finish with one inch gravels white and black. Good work

    The stone goes on after the first float. we buy the stone specifically for exposed aggregate finishes from suppliers for this product. they come in 80-100 pound bags.

    There are 2 ways of doing exposed aggregate, the stone can be added to the concrete mix or it can be broadcast over like you see here. you cannot just find the aggregate in existing concrete and create a nice finish. We use the cast method because we buy very nice specific stone for this application, we have many different blends and colors so we do not want to be buying extra stone to put in the mix. the broadcast method also make a much more uniform finish than if the stone is in the mix.

    I am new to all this, never have actually done anything with cement. I am in the beginning stages of digging out a 12x12 area for a patio. We live in KY where it gets very hot and humid. Its been in the 90's already with high humidity. Started 3 days ago but have only been able to work on the area one day because of the rain and high temps. Looking to do this to my patio but I was wondering do you have to fill the entire surface with the rocks or can I use a few? What say you? Also do I have to use some kind of re barb or mesh or can it just be cement on top of the gravel?

    A high pressure washer works great for sidewalks and driveways, however on a surface where people regularly wear bare feet the surface must be as perfect as possible. We hose and sponge the concrete off at the end of the placement process followed by an acid wash the following day.

  • @SSGPools
    @SSGPools  11 років тому +1

    After cleaning the surface at the end of the day an acid wash does clean the surfaces of the stones and leaves a high quality final product.

  • @SSGPools
    @SSGPools  12 років тому +2

    Having to put the stone in the mix severly limits the color options available to the end user. We offer at least 10 different stone style/ color options. the stone is brought in from different parts of the country and would be far too costly to the end user if we had to fill the truck with enough stone that we have enough on the surface to provide a good final product. I do not disagree with your method, we prefer ours because of the options it allows and the perfect product we produce.

    Hi SSG pools, I need some advise from you, I would like to do a small area next to my shed,so I can put my 6 x 4 trailer. My question is: Is the concrete made of 3 gravel, 2 sand, 1 cement? and then on top of that when everything is smoothed throw the aggregate and level it? How deep should I make the excavation? 10- 15 cm deep? that includes for the top aggregate?. Thanks.

  • @VgniK88

  • @SSGPools
    @SSGPools  11 років тому

    Do you supply the concrete company with the stone aggregate or do they just use a standard peastone? We have 12-15 different color blends of stone from different parts of the country and the world so that the customer has a lot of different color options. When the concrete company adds the stone this typically limits the color options and the chance of having gaps between stones is greater.

    • @OOpSjm
      @OOpSjm 8 років тому

      Also, your not loading the concrete mix with excess stone. Casting puts the stone where you want it.

    • @SSGPools
      @SSGPools  5 років тому

      These guys know what they are doing, they have rubber boots if they want them and they are probably not in the concrete as much as some of the other guys on a regular basis. To answer eddy, you can get a chemical burn from cement by not wearing the correct protective gear and it can happen quickly if the right circumstances happen together.

      We price our work and choose our crew sizes to get jobs done flawlessly and efficiently. We have some of the larger crews in our trades because we have found that larger crews on certain jobs equal better products. Its far less expensive to have an extra couple guys on pour day than to send a whole crew back to rip out and re-pour a deck. Its all about quality.

    This is "surface in bedding "; not "exposed aggregate "...

    • @SSGPools
      @SSGPools  7 років тому +2

      If that is what you want to call it that is fine. If anyone does a google image search for surface in bedding and another for exposed aggregate you will find that we are correct in calling this exposed aggregate.

    Why don't you just order a white pea gravel mix with 10% over rock?

    • @SSGPools
      @SSGPools  7 років тому +2

      Because ordering it in the mix doesnt come out this good. We also offer many different color combinations in the stone which ready mix plants would not. Ordering a white pea gravel mix is not real life.

    • @SSGPools

    The aggregate is exposed by cleaning the surfaces of the stone at the end of the day followed by an acid wash the next day. This process could be used on a glass product also.

    This is a joke you don't do exposed aggregate like that at least not in Michigan we don't the stone is already in the concrete mix you pour the concrete out you finish the top off you let it set up and then you wash the top off simple as that. You can all also use a product called top stop after you finish the concrete you spray the top stop off so the top surface never gets hard cover it with visqueen you could come back 24 hours later and spray the top off comes up beautiful.

    • @SSGPools
      @SSGPools  5 років тому +2

      Hey Leo, you can do that here to. you can do that anywhere you want if you order the right mix. What you cant do is create custom color and stone blends from the readymix truck. You cant set yourself apart from all the other aggregate companies, you cant offer your high end customers something special, unique or even custom. We are different which is why our customers like us and pay us more to do so.
