Colour & Aggregate Selection

Concrete Colour Range

The colour, the aggregate, the sheen, every decorative concrete project starts with picking the right blend. We use two of Australia's most respected suppliers to give you the widest choice.

Home/Colour Range
Our two suppliers

We use two renowned concrete suppliers

For every CoastCrete project we draw from two product ranges to find the exact colour, aggregate blend and texture for your home. Both suppliers are Australian-owned and trusted across the industry.

Limecrete range

Premium decorative concrete blends with custom colour through the mix. Excellent for liquid limestone, alfresco floors and pool surrounds where the colour needs to be consistent the whole way through the slab.

Holcim range

Hanson is part of the Holcim family and supplies our exposed aggregate, honed and polished concrete blends. A wide range of locally-sourced WA stones available.

How we choose for your project

At the on-site quote we bring physical samples, small cured concrete pieces showing actual colour, aggregate and finish. You can compare them in your own light, against your home and landscaping. We won't ask you to make a decision off a screen.

Decorative finishes

Pick a finish, see the details

Five core decorative concrete finishes we lay across Perth. Tap each to see what it's best at.

Exposed

Exposed aggregate

Pebbles and stones revealed at the surface for a textured finish with good grip. The most popular look for Perth driveways and pool surrounds, coastal salt air loves it, kids do too.

  • ✓Honey pebble, granite, quartz blend or custom
  • ✓Typically 25 years or more on a good base, resealed on schedule
  • ✓More grip than a smooth finish; ask for the slip rating

Limecrete vs Holcim

Both ranges are excellent. Each one suits different jobs. Here's how we pick between them on a per-project basis.
