I have noticed that some block pavers have a textured look with the aggregates exposed on the surface
is it possible to expose the aggregate on new blocks that have a smooth finish by for example pressure washing?
many thanks

It is possible but I doubt very much you would like the results.
Argent paving has exposed, textured surface and so does highly trafficked, overly pressure washed block paving.
The first looks lovely and the second looks awful.

Acid can take the skin off the pavers to.

When say expose the aggregate I mean similar to these
Where these like this from new or as a result of time and ware?
New pavers mostly look like this
Thanks for the replies so far and compliments to Tony for the impressive website

Those are the result of time and wear and on brick acid as Sean suggested.
