Washed concrete is a highly valued outdoor coating for its aesthetic appearance and durability. Frequently used in fit-outs around homes, it combines an elegant appearance and great resistance to weather conditions.
This type of material, known for its longevity and visual appeal, has a cost that is essential to evaluate before starting the project. Avenir Rénovations Belgium explains the main criteria influencing the price of washed concrete per square meter and the overall budget to consider based on your project.
The size of the area to be covered directly impacts the price of washed concrete. Small surfaces (terrace, pedestrian path, pool surroundings…) are generally more expensive per m², as labor and preparation costs remain fixed. Large areas, which are rarer, allow for reducing the average cost of the covering. You can also choose ready-to-pour washed concrete, delivered directly to the site, for simpler and quicker implementation.
Here is an indicative overview of the prices practiced in Belgium for this type of covering. The cost per square meter varies according to the total area to be developed, labor costs, and the transport of washed concrete.
| Surface to be covered (in m²) | Price of washed concrete |
| 25 to 50 | 85 to 110 €/m² |
| 50 to 100 | 80 to 95 €/m² |
| 100 to 200 | 75 to 90 €/m² |
The implementation of washed concrete requires specific expertise. Hiring a specialized contractor is essential to ensure a uniform and durable finish. The cost of labor depends on various factors, such as the professional's reputation, the location of the site, and the complexity of the work. The craftsman must carry out several successive operations: leveling the ground, laying the borders, installing the metal mesh, pouring the concrete, applying the washing product, and high-pressure cleaning.
In Belgium, specialists generally charge for the laying of washed concrete by the hour of work. The average hourly rate ranges from 45 to 65 €/h, depending on the region and the scope of the project.

Various elements can also affect the overall cost of implementing exposed aggregate concrete. The preparation work of the ground is at the top of the additional factors that can increase the price of the projects. It is necessary when the surface to be covered has specific constraints or when it is part of a more comprehensive outdoor fit-out.
