Our Process – The Mercscon Difference

With decades of combined experience, we understand the importance of delivering an eye-catching and reliable concrete surface without disrupting your lifestyle. That’s why our proven process ensures every project is completed on time, on budget, and to the highest standard:

Step 01 – Site Inspection & Preparation
We begin with a detailed site inspection, followed by preparation including excavation, drainage, crushed rock base, formwork, and steel reinforcement. Temporary barricades are installed to protect your property during works.

Step 02 – Quality Control & Compliance
Our concreting team follows strict checklists to ensure every stage meets the National Construction Code of Australia and Australian Standard 2870, maintaining our commitment to quality and safety.

Step 03 – Pouring & Finishing
We pour your concrete with precision, applying your chosen finish. Whether exposed aggregate, plain, or coloured. Within 36 hours, cuts are made to control cracking, followed by an acid wash and sealing for lasting performance.

Note: Weather conditions may sometimes affect timing. If delays occur, we keep you updated every step of the way.

Concrete is one of the most versatile and reliable materials for residential properties. Here’s why Melbourne homeowners continue to choose it:

Low maintenance – easy to clean, saving you time and effort.
Flexible designs – customise with colours, stencils, stamping, or textures.
Durable – lasts 20–30 years with professional installation.

Transform Your Home with Mercscon Concrete

Whether you’re building new, renovating, or upgrading your outdoor spaces, our team is here to help. From driveways and patios to pool surrounds and structural slabs, we’ll deliver a solution that matches your style, budget, and long term needs

exposed aggregate

At Mercscon Concrete, we take exposed aggregate to the next level. By carefully removing the top layer of cement paste, we reveal the natural stone, pebble, or crushed rock within the mix, creating a textured surface that is both functional and visually striking. This finish is highly sought-after for driveways, pool surrounds, patios, paths, and courtyards, where durability and design go hand in hand.

Why Choose Exposed Aggregate?

Slip-Resistant – perfect for driveways, pathways, and pool areas.
Customisable Look – choose from a wide range of stones, pebbles, and colours.
Low Maintenance – easy to clean, requiring only occasional resealing.
Durable & Hard-Wearing – built to withstand Melbourne’s climate and heavy use.
Architectural Appeal – adds instant value and a premium finish to your property.

Our Process – Built with Precision

We follow a proven process to ensure every exposed aggregate project meets the highest standard:

Site Preparation – excavation, drainage, crushed rock base, and steel reinforcement for long-lasting strength.
Premium Mix Supply – we source concrete and aggregates from Melbourne’s leading suppliers, ensuring consistency and superior quality.
Pouring & Placement – our experienced team pours and levels with laser-guided accuracy for a flawless base.
Exposure & Washing – using professional washing techniques, we carefully expose the aggregate without damaging the finish.
Sealing & Protection – high-end sealants are applied to protect against stains, weather, and wear, keeping your surface looking new for years.

Custom Options

With exposed aggregate, no two projects look the same. We work with you to select:

Stone colours & blends – from natural earthy tones to striking modern contrasts.
Surface textures – from lightly exposed for a smoother look to deep exposure for a rugged, natural feel.
Borders & patterns – integrate plain or coloured concrete borders for a polished architectural style.

Partner with trusted, long-standing suppliers for aggregates and mixes.
Use reinforced steel, advanced curing methods, and industrial-grade sealers for maximum strength.
Deliver inch-perfect finishes that balance aesthetics and functionality.
Provide clear communication and handle every stage, from excavation through to final sealing.
