wall

[alimoff]

want to Pebble dash a retaining wall around my property, can anyone give me some info on how to get started, the wall is made from breeze block and doesnt fit in with the existing wall. I need info on how to key the wall, what sort of mix to use, how to get a good bond between wall and cement and how to apply the pebbles. any info would be greatly appreciated.

To be honest unless you're experience then best to have it done by the specialist company. I have done many plastering and I still haven't quite got it right yet ! By all mean have ago first, good luck.

Use lime, not cement. It's less likely to flake off or crack.

Oilman,

Are you saying use lime instead of cement or cement with lime ?

Just lime.
