Great job! Sure wish you would include a list of the different cement and mortar products being used. Thanks!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Good idea

[@sevensages5279]

Spec mix type S mortar is commonly used to lay block and brick in Southern California. La Habra brand stucco is used for the brown coat and color coat. La Habra labels their bags accordingly so make sure you get the correct bag for base coats and finish coats.

[@joelhoffman7173]

Very nice wall! Is the other side exposed block? I also think the code that limits the height to 36" at the walk is a good one. Not only does it insure visibility but it looks much nicer too.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes I concur

[@dhobbs1974]

Is it possible to pour a driveway, screet it, bull float it and let it go as that and still look good?

As usual another great vid. Do you grout the voids once the blocks are all in place or as you go row by row? No need to vibrate?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

No vibrate needed, pour it in wet. I grouted it solid

[@tgun4928]

How long did it take from setting the first blocks in concrete to the final stucco coat please .looks brilliant

It is better to put a cement mixture in the middle of the red block partitions? or just at the bottom that is attached to the block

For sure

Does anyone know if you can do this in the deep South (Georgia) I suppose I should just call some cement company or landscaping design company. A few people have told me that the stucco finish wont work because of the humidity. The wall I want is only 2 feet tall. I just dont want exposed cement block. Thought it would look better if I covered it.

What's the stucco called on the bag? There so much different stuff out there it can be intimidating.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

LA Habra

[@rce2553]

At 3:00 the first coarse of blocks for the wall are going down, was the concrete footer poured very dry? Is a dry mix with no slump best for getting the blocks on it best right to string line and elevation right away? Obviously the footer concrete isn’t floated or finished by any means the mix looks like it’s just lumped in there dry. Just leave the mix a lil high then lightly thump the block down to elevation.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes that works like a charm

[@chupapi1283]

Good video, how many feets is this wall ?and what kind of stucco it's?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

20 feet LA Habra

Can you recommend a way to research what a retaining wall would have looked like for a particular era and area?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Sounds interesting.

[@rubenske091]

🙌🐐

[@Dazzafourfifty]

My old mixer had dumping tendencies also 😂 ! Dam annoying loosing it on the ground !

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes it is

[@chupapi1283]

They installed in my house payvers of the red that you are putting on top of the retaining wall, but what I realized is that they put them well together and they just put concrete mix on the bottom part and they did not put it on the edges, no I know if that is why they were glued together without mixing, I don't know if they did it to save time and material, do you think they will last a long time? Or do you think they are starting to come unstuck? I asked and he told me that it looks better that way than with cement in the joints of the payvers

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I think it's good

[@greysonhollis660]

What brands of mortar and stucco did you use? you said it’s probably gonna be painted is there a specific kind of primer you use or do you just go over it with normal primer normal paint? Thank you David

I love my green $ponge's for making the magic happen :)

[@axxiom20001]

That looks to be about a 2-3 foot wall. At what point would it be necessary to include weep screed at the bottom of the stucco wall? Or is weep screed not required for deco wall because it has mortar and block behind the stucco?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

No need in this situation

One side of the wall has soil against it without mortar or stucco on it, will water coming through that side damage the finished side? I’m building block planters and want to stucco them but unsure if I need to line the inside or leave them bare

NO, the other yard is low, but the plants are high

@@OdellCompleteConcrete thanks for the reply! Love your videos and work.. would you recommend lining the inside of a planter if I am going to stucco the outside to protect against water or will it be ok?
