exposed-aggregate

From the description, this sounds like what is called 'exposed aggregate' in English. The effect is achieved by washing the surface layer of cement away before it hardens in order to expose the aggregate (gravel mixture) in the body of the paver or slab.

washed pavers

The new Rockstone Trend Collection, consists of washed aggregate, colour-fast pavers, designed to complement the latest building styles
De nieuwe Rockstone Trend-collectie, ook een uitgewassen kleurvaste klinker, is afgestemd op de hedendaagse bouwarchitectuur

Deze term vindt ik terug bij Belgische fabrikanten maar heb twijfel wacht op een antwoord van een native speaker
Peer comment(s):

agree Chris Hopley : 'washed aggregrate paver' or 'washed aggregrate flag' (a flag is larger than a paver)
