Exposed Aggregate Kew
Kew sits on some of Boroondara’s more demanding ground for concreting, and that shapes how we lay an exposed aggregate driveway here. Many blocks fall away toward Studley Park and the river, and the reactive clay through the suburb moves with the seasons.
3rd Gen Concreting lays exposed aggregate across Kew with that in mind as part of our Kew concreting, from the heritage homes around Cotham Road to modern extensions and rebuilds.

Driveways That Grip a Sloping Block
With the base right, the stone surface does its job well on Kew’s inclines. The texture gives tyres grip on wet, sloping drives that run past mature gardens to a rear or side garage, the same exposed aggregate across Melbourne set to the fall of your block, and it wears evenly under daily use. We pour, wash back and seal on site so the drive drains cleanly.
Stone and Colour for Heritage Homes
The look depends on the stone and the base colour. We work with river pebble, granite, quartz and basalt in tones from honey and gold to charcoal. Lighter blends suit Kew’s cream-brick and rendered heritage homes, while darker mixes suit the architectural builds around Studley Park.
Samples go down before the pour so the colour is settled against the frontage first. For clients across the boundary we lay the same finish as our exposed aggregate in Camberwell.
