When you are thinking of having a new concrete driveway installed, consider pea fill exposed aggregate. This type of finish shows the least amount of wear over time. Especially if your concrete is maintained by protecting it against chemical attack with sealer.
In traditional concrete, the final finish is accomplished by applying a broom stroke to it. With exposed concrete, they wash the surface cement off to expose the rock. With all concrete, as it wears, the surface will sand out over time due to acid rain effects and look like exposed. Then it may release small rocks. This is normal and to be expected. When exposed concrete releases a rock, you see more of the same surface below. When pea fill exposed finish is used, it is really hard to see these released rocks, making it more uniform and less noticeable. Typically, this process is more expensive than traditional broomed concrete.
