How to Build a Retaining wall With Stucco and Brick Caps Part 2 

Thanks for taking the time to show the process

Ooo...simple but very very nice look!! Going to steal that California look!!! Well done!

Recently came across some of these videos. This outstanding work. Really enjoy these.

My eldest brother having dedicated his life in construction always said, the detail was just as important as the foundation. Excellent work product Team Odell! 👏🏼

Dave, very nice job! can't wait for Pt 3

Sweet ! 👍 Professionals always make it look easy...

Good to see some classic bricklaying and rendering work.

Another fine job in da books! You are the best! Thanks!! Made that look easy!!

Great looking wall, nice job on the stucco.

This is exactly what I was looking for

The wall looks great, David!

Hi David, I have enjoyed what you and your team have done so far, I look forward to the next episode, I hope you and your staff a b d family are keeping safe and well, in the crazy times, best regards from Australia

Nice screen catch of the retaining wall framing the project house across the street. Cool.

Great crafting you’ve got there! Good narration and videography. Very nice looking.

Odell Concrete = Quality everytime

Very nice I have to do this in my back yard awesome work!

Nicely well done retaining wall. I like it.

Always enjoy your videos!

Beautiful wall!!

Love your videos! keep up the good work!

Another outstanding job!!!

I love the classic California Mission look with white stucco and red bricks .You see this all over California especially in beach towns.

Awesome looking wall !

Looks awesome!

I like how you make your channel and your professional work that you display on it. You have the calmest tone in the narration is there anything you don't do so well?

Sus videos y su voz narrando lo que hacen de verdad que me entretienen y eso que no hablo para nada el inglés, para mí son muy relajantes. Me encanta el resultado final de sus trabajos. Bendiciones!

Always love seeing the Air Force bucket 😍

Looks really cool 👌👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great work.

Great work your a pro im new here hello from Canada 🇨🇦😀

always a good watch my dude . . . it's good to see people still doin it correctly and paying attention . . . it's also becoming mildly entertaining imagining David vibing to the tracking of a video during editing hahaha :) some of the music just doesn't seem like it'd be 'in your wheelhouse' there Dave :)_

Love it..❤💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Great job👌👌

Very nice quality of mortar 👏

My goodness, you make it look so easy. Ehh, get some block, dig a hole, string a line, butter it up n POOF, a gorgeous stucco retaining wall! Dude, you’re like the Michael Jordan of Concrete! I wish you were located near me! Lol

The concrete pour?!! in the next episode I guess:)) Great videos keep them coming

A little plaster advise, a small brush works well to fill stucco voids at bottom of wall...great job again 👍

Awesome job guy’s 🍺🍷

I from India and I like your videos.👍👌

Nice job😃👍👍

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

You make the stucco look easy

That looks gorgeous and timeless. I’m going to do the same thing in my backyard here in Texas. I think it’ll go great with the limestone that I already have.

Hella clean

Nice stucco job on that wall..Kirk Giordano would be proud of that one...

Smooth 😎🤙🏼

Sei un grande!

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.

Good job

Another nice video. Maybe I missed it. But, how does one get the rubbish bins out, isn't the wall blocking it somewhat?

Got the Stabila out, its serious business!

Greetings D O'D from North Wales UK. Great job!

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?

Mi gusta!!

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

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

I want Layla intro back...Good job as always....Cheers from Turkey...

What stucco brand did you use for final.

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

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.

Another awesome video thx. Im out here on the east coast, what tools would i need to lay down my concrete walkway sir? Thx

🙌🐐

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

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

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

Kirk is the best ever

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?

👍👍👍👍👍👍

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.

I want the Milwaukee 6ft straight edge

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

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

What came first brick/ block laying or concrete work?

Do you still like that cement mixer. I’m looking to get one. Would you recommend it?

Good job,nice video,how much did you charge for it?

Hi Dave, Where did you get that mixer?

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

Great work. what brand and model mixer did you use?

What mixer is that? I'm looking to pick one up.

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

What material would you use to achieve a "smooth finish" ?

David, wouldn't it have been cheap and easier just to make concrete forms and pour concrete in the molds? Since you're covering the brick lines anyways?

Nice looking wall👍😁

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

Is it stucco or a dryvit type material? No need so a scratch coat?

good job . What is the use if the wall is low and the neighboring plants are high. Vision is still blocked

How long did you let the block wall sit before you applied the brown coat?

Want that mixer, wonder if better than harbor freight one🤔

What kind of stucco did you use?
