Can exposed aggregate be used on a driveway with a steep grade?

Yes, genuinely well suited — exposed aggregate’s textured surface provides real slip resistance that becomes particularly valuable on a steep grade, more so than a smooth plain or heavily polished finish.

On a very steep site, your contractor may also recommend specific stone sizing or an additional surface treatment to maximise grip further, tailored to your driveway’s actual slope.
