DECORATIVE CONCRETE

Decorative concrete combines the strength, durability and affordability of concrete with the natural beauty of New Zealand’s spectacular riverbeds.

Our decorative concrete range consists of six different aggregate mixes that create their own natural look using different colour and sized pebbles. You can also combine coloured concrete to enhance the effect of featuring natural stone.

Coloured concrete is designed for beauty and durability indoors and out. Cost-effective and flexible it provides a high-quality look and a practical alternative to paving, asphalt, marble and timber.


Where to use exposed aggregate concrete

Using the best quality river pebbles from around New Zealand, Ashby’s Ready Mixed have developed a range of exposed aggregate concrete mixes that will compliment every home and setting. Rounded stones are gentle on feet making them the perfect choice for:

EXPOSED AGGREGATE RANGE

Designed specifically for Canterbury, our exclusive range offers six different mixes that create their own natural look using the highest quality locally sourced pebbles to create a stunning natural and contemporary look to your space.

Please note: While we have taken care to give an accurate representation of our decorative concrete range, aggregates are natural products, so some variations in colour will occur. Placing, weather and site conditions may also influence the end result.

*The pebbles contained within these mixes have been washed and sorted to ensure that they are of the highest standards. However, like any other natural products sourced from New Zealand riverbeds, from time to time these mixes can contain driftwood and some naturally occurring minerals such as iron pyrites which have been known to produce brown stains. Use of a high quality sealer at regular intervals can reduce this reaction occurring. Ashby's Ready Mixed will not be responsible for the rectification of any such imperfections arising from this occurrence.


Our coloured concrete solutions offer design flexibility for an enhanced look for decorative concrete internally and externally.

Coloured decorative concrete is designed for beauty and durability indoors and out.  Cost-effective and flexible it provides a high-quality look and a practical alternative to paving, asphalt, marble and timber.
