In Reply to: Building a Stucco Garden Wall Posted by: Stephen on December 05, 2000 at 11:42:56:

: I have an old stucco house and want to build a 5 or 6 ft stucco wall around part of the yard. How's the best way to go about this? Thanks.
You aren't giving a lot of information. How long is the wall? Where do you live? Is the yard on a slope?
In general a stucco wall is applied to a wood frame or concrete block wall. If this is outside I'd go with a Solid block wall on a footing dug from well compacted soil. Everything is really heavy but you can do a little at a time until your back gets stronger. By the time you are done you'll be much stronger without having to go to the gym. Good Luck.
