Exposed aggregate concrete is the perfect compliment to a new or existing home, office, driveway or outdoor area. It's hard wearing and looks amazing. Our customers use it for external areals like driveways, paths and pool surrounds. Also, you know polished concrete (you've probably seen it on TV shows like The Block recently), it's actually exposed aggregate that has been polished down to a shiny finish - a service we also offer.
At Designer Premix, we pride ourselves on our quality aggregates, the premium look and feel of our mixes and the superior level of customer service. We are a full service business that both sells and lays exposed aggregate concrete. We've been leaders in the Melbourne concreting industry for 50+ years and recently partnered with a quarry so we could maintain the quality of our product from start to finish.

Services
Prior to the development of Designer Pre Mix, our sister concreting company had prepared and placed thousands of concreting projects around Melbourne using other concrete suppliers. As specialists in Exposed Aggregate, we recognised that there was the need for new and innovative mix designs. We wanted consistently good concrete, we wanted to take the hit and miss out of achieving a faultless finish.
Designer Pre Mix and its Partners have over 50 years' experience both in making and placing concrete. We are concreters, so we understand the ever changing needs of concrete contractors and their customers. We strive to achieve perfection every time. With regular on site consultation with contractors and their clients, our goal is inevitable every time we deliver concrete.
Find you perfect exposed aggregate concrete colour chart below, or bring us a photo, and we'll make a blend that matches. Our aggregate is made of the highest quality stones and pebbles sourced from all over Australia. It's due to our long standing in the concrete industry that we have access to the quarries, and therefore the pebbles and stones, that most concreters do not.
No, the process to achieve an even and flawless finish is quite complex and we recommend that you use one of our experienced preferred contractors. We recommend the use of Prime Exposure surface retarder. We offer a free service to come and spray the retarder on the concrete surface at the appropriate time in the curing process.
Designer Pre Mix is the only concrete supply company that is environmentally focused and offers an exposed aggregate clean and capture system. Traditionally in exposed aggregate, the process to expose the aggregate in the concrete involves high pressure cleaning the top layer of the concrete that has had a surface retarder sprayed onto the surface.
