Pebblecrete drive and patio - reno, to keep or alternatives

Hi,

We have a Pebblecrete drive and patio.  IT would be 8-10 years old.  We have cleaned them with high pressure hose and it came up ok.

Is Pebblecrete a thing of the past?  We will be looking to sell the house as mordern and in the $600k mark (Gold Coast)

We have had quotes to have the areas concreted including colour and stencil.  This is about $5k.  Is it worth doing, leaving as is or is there other options?  Not sure if you can paint Pebblecrete??

Thanks
Jason

Why ruin exposed aggregate? It costs more than plain concrete and will again have its day - it attests to the quality of the concrete used in the drive. You would only consider replacing it if it were unsightly, poorly done, severely cracked etc not as a fashion statement. FWIW stamped concrete too will have had its day soon and they will be looking at the next thing.

Consider spending the money somewhere where it will have more bang eg paint, carpet, respray bathroom tiles, landscaping etc.

Jason said he has pebblecrete,not exposed aggregate.They are completely different things.

You're perfectly correct tools, I misread it - that's why I'd be surprised that it was pebble crete as it is mainly used in pools or specialist applications and is quite expensive.

There was a fair bit of it put on walls and front verandas of victorian homes in my area during the 70s as well....Personally I think it is outdated.
