How to Smooth Finish Stucco work EASY

[@chichitex1252]

Wow! This was a great video! I love that finish! Y’all do spectacular work!❤❤❤

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Thank you so much!

[@chedhess345]

I've been in plastering for 55 years. I'll say you did a good job . I'm a gringo ,I get a lot of harassment from from the south . Hang in there .

[@billybike57]

Planter wall looks fantastic! Well done!👍🏼

[@cdubbrider3740]

Great work. I always thought building planter walls were done with form work. This is great job. Only think that final of finished work should’ve been done after u cleaned the base of the wall

[@mattjaramillo3065]

Hey Tim. Beautiful job on that planter wall. I just built one almost exactly like it in my backyard and was starting to do some research on the waterproofing on the back of the wall. Can you make some recommendations on what you guys are going to use for waterproofing on the back of that wall?

[@thomasmacias5032]

Thank you 🙏 Mr Odell for your hard work 🙏💙🇺🇸

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

You are very welcome

[@ServiceAero]

Beautiful wall and detailed installation explanation!

[@donaldyoung5886]

Very professional high quality job. Great attention to details. Your team is very professional and I envy this type of high quality of labor..

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Me too TY

[@Sonichistorian]

Looks pretty good for guys that do stucco work all the time. The right term for the stucco finish is a Sand Finish which is floated with a green float like you did. A smooth finish would have been troweled smooth and the white stucco would have had a smaller aggregate sand in it, 20-30 or 30-30.

Beutiful work, Odell ❤

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

You make it look easy!

[@roberta4989]

Great work as usual Tim. The planter wall is so white, I know it was the owners choice but I would have gone with slump stone to match the big wall behind it.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Maybe stucco or paint the slump

[@craigrschulz]

Looks very nice!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@finders-keepers1518]

Nice work dudes

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Appreciate it!

[@TyreeTV]

Very clean work. How much do you charge for this and how long did it take?

[@zrkn1]

Do you still sell merch?? Really liked the planter wall, It adds so much beauty to their yard. I'm really going to need one of those hats for shade this summer in Arizona plus free advertising here in Mohave County. LOL

[@tulz43]

Looks awesome. Roughly how thick did you make the stucco to avoid ghosting of the mortar? Any tips on how to attached the corner aid?

[@W1LLB0]

Nice one, looks great! Just wondering, do you not need drains along the bottom of the wall to let water out from between them? Or is it just meant to overflow during heavy showers?

[@JFirn86Q]

That's one nice strong wall, love it. Done right!

[@BillyLapTop]

Very nice wall, it brightens up the back yard. What kind of grass is that? Is it real? Very interesting how it lies and swirls. Unique.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Probably Marathon 2

[@EricWilkening-sl9gs]

Is the brown coat just a type S mix? Or something that’s polymer modified? Thanks!

[@mijyadoc5374]

Oh yea, nice!

[@torchup]

The green float is more of a fine followup finish after the red float applicator and great for thinning/smoothing out.😇

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

For sure

[@choleaoum1383]

Looks great. Any recommendation for the inside corners? I did a wall and it separates/cracks at that corner.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

It shouldn't if you stagger the block and put horizontal rebar

[@choleaoum1383]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete I had to but up against an existing wall so I didn’t have that option

[@californiacritic9779]

@Tim, what is the width and depth of the footing for a small wall like that? Thanks for your time and effort with these videos.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

1x1 YW, TY

[@Saki630]

6:29 the connection on the top course on the left. Did you fill in that 2 finger gap with stucco?

[@silver60618]

no head joint on cmu? why use corner beads when the corner already 90 degrees?

[@AlexSosa-l5w]

What brand was the finish stucco ?

[@R900DZ]

Why not make a curved top for the water to run off like you do on other block walls?

[@steveramirez1654]

👍👍

[@hpain6261]

Nice

[@markzick9236]

What is the name of the instrumental song that plays in your video?

[@jadewilliams3037]

Did put a mowing strip in along the base of planter wall

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

No

[@myrrhavm]

Simple off the top estimate for a 3x20 wall? In HB.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Depends

[@myrrhavm]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete Cheap block. 6x8, no cap but just rounded of grout. Maybe stucco finish.

The sod took a beating lol.

[@cdgpro]

How Much?

[@cdawg8325]

Why didn't you scratch the first coat?

[@michaeladams2077]

90 feet about 18" height and your used 2 bags, 2 courses?

[@R900DZ]

Why not form it up and do the whole thing in concrete instead of using block?

[@VictorAndrade-v6d]

If this was a handyman job. Whatever , but a professional I don’t think so, dowels were not embedded to the footing from the beginning. And there’s quite a few things you missed including the way the stucco was applied .

[@CUBABLOCKMASONRY]

🙏🏾👍🏾

[@efrentroncoso6471]

What about water proofing????

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Next phase

[@efrentroncoso6471]

Ok……

[@jp-pu7em]

​@@OdellCompleteConcrete yall do great work! Would love to see a video on the waterproofing.

[@AndresMoreno-s3f]

You're welcome 😏

[@MikeHarris1984]

Not overkill. I hate seeing block planter start to split and push fwd, real ugly like and eventually topple. Yours is solid with thr rebar, fill blockand 1x1x1 foundation isnt overkill, its just righr!

[@drumtwo4seven]

First 👍

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Almost!

[@esco.letsgo]

At least show your materials used

[@philindeblanc]

nice, but thats not a smooth finish

[@George.Coleman]

It's not supposed to be smooth

[@chrislazarou7491]

If it's not ment to be smooth why is it in the title, plus it's not thick enough so you'll see the block lines when wet

[@philindeblanc]

@@chrislazarou7491 I dont think they know the difference between smooth and a fine sand finish. This maybe less prone to cracking when not using a poly based smooth finish, but its not smooth.

[@davidhughes5369]

Dude, don't give advice on stucco when you don't know what you're talking about. A good smooth trowel finish ain't EASY and that's about as far away from smooth trowel as you can get! That's more like a ROUGH sand finish! Wrong tools, wrong material, wrong application! Other than that, it was a great tutorial!
