Stucco a retaining wall on mountainside, with a mortar sprayer, part 2

December 27, 2011 By Stucco Plastering 21 Comments

Stucco a retaining wall on mountainside, with a mortar sprayer this is part 2, with the trough for allowing the water to flow.
FYI, My pal Nolan Scheid created these mortar sprayers before anyone else.

Hello ambitious guys and gals, who are interested in learning how to do it yourself, now possibly you can.
How? Watch, this video explains we show and explain in its entirety to Stucco a retaining wall on mountain side, with a mortar sprayer.
My wife and I show how with using a mortar sprayer and a bit of skill and imagination we create a cement plaster or stucco reinforced retaining wall that is effective in stopping road and mountain erosion along with the cosmetics to be attractive when viewed upon.
I go into details about tools and their use, plus explain and show a variety of useful plastering tips.
With a small bit of attention you can and will save cash, create a sense of euphoria and sleep well knowing, no problemo, I did this repair myself.
Save cash, great workout, sense of accomplishment, what more in life does a righteous person desire?

Old Kirk says, material knowledge is 70% of being a well rounded plasterer,
The other 30% is application.

    @rossdh
    Thank you for the compliment. I must admit the rock idea was my wife and her parent s, who are really into (NATURAL)
    I once said to them at a gathering I could pressure wash the moss off the trees and rocks, they about ran me off the property. I have since recovered from my injuries and remember now they like things as close to natural as it gets.
    Have a great day!

    Evening Marc Boucher the fella who sell this Mortar sprayer is Nolan Ryan, (great guy) you can go to his web page at
    mortarsprayer online
    to order these sprayers. This sight won't allow the 3 w's in front or the Dot-com symbols's in the back of the Mortar sprayer, but you can insert this.
    Thanks for watching and have a good evening.

    I'm getting ready to try this on a basement wall that is now just dirt. I don't want nice to make a safe haven under the concrete. I was going to use s type mortar (8000#), put down metal lathe, and about 2+ inches of mortar. (It's a rental and kids may crawl on it). Should I use paper and should I use concrete with mortar over top.

      I am going to use the mortarsprayer.com tool and try my hand at matching a lava rock foundation appearance by texturing the mortar to look like lava rock and coloring lighter the mortar look lines around each rock.

      Hello Dennis Koyle, I would not use the method in this video, I would simply pour concrete with a troweled finish.
       no need for paper on bottom but the concrete wire should be used too.
       best wishes, Mice tend to live anywhere where's there is food or a dry haven, good luck with keeping them at bay.

      Hi Dennis Koyle, this may work, those sprayers take a powerful compressor to operate them effectively and also some time in to get the hang of them.
      What you wish to accomplish, the sprayer would be your best bet.

      Howdy Jay, this stucco sprayer reqires a lot of power, if you have the electric or gas powered Compressor that is simular to a wheel barrel, these work well, the small compressors don't operate these sprayers to well. Best wishes, live long and plaster Giordano’s teaching video’s

      Good afternoon Truth dude, I too use 3 parts cement plaster,
      I have time off often this may sound wierd but I prefer work to rexing unless there's a tropical beach is involved, this prospect is usually out of my hands lots of dough needed for that stuff.

      I can not find any products called cement plaster for exterior work.I found some white stucco in bags which is nice to work with but I would really like to make a nice brown mix that spreads so nice like yours.

    Hi, I wonder if you have a video you could point me in it’s direction, or tell me how, and what type of material you would use to plaster something like a pond. It’s actually like-think of an inground swimming pool, but on the scale of a wading pool for dogs…
