At Borrow West Park, Florida Bomanite’s exposed aggregate concrete contributes a natural, durable finish that complements the park’s landscape and outdoor setting. The exposed stone creates visual texture and subtle color variation while providing a practical surface for pedestrian areas. Its understated appearance works well alongside planting, gathering spaces, and other site elements without competing with the overall design. For this project, exposed aggregate helps create a cohesive transition between the built environment and the surrounding landscape, giving Borrow West Park a refined finish suited to everyday public use.

The porch floor is concrete, with an exposed aggregate finishing technique employed. This method permanently embeds a layer of decorative pebbles on the top of the concrete. It is also a friendly surface for bare feet on the porch.
