Aggregate in La Jolla, CA.
Aggregate for La Jolla homes, done by an experienced San Diego County concrete crew. Exposed aggregate gives you a textured, slip-resistant, character-rich surface that ages better than smooth concrete and looks coastal-California right. The work is 80 percent in the wash window, too early and you wash out cement paste, too late and you fight to expose the stone..
Why is aggregate different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal exposed aggregate driveways look right against beach-town architecture and resist salt better than smooth-troweled finishes. We use granite or hard river rock that does not crumble at the edges over time.

How does La Jolla's climate affect this service?
La Jolla cliff-side and ocean-view homes face the worst salt-air corrosion in San Diego County. Epoxy-coated rebar, salt-tolerant penetrating sealers, and decorative finishes (acid stain, exposed aggregate, stamped) are the working standard. Standard galvanized bar rusts through within ten to fifteen years on ocean-facing slabs here..
