Apply stucco cement over concrete block pillars

Stucco thickness on Brick walls or concrete block walls should be at least 1/2 or more not sure it’s thick enough. Add more Stucco until it is thick enough.
When it rains, the thickness matters to avoid seeing the grout lines.
Apply or layer at least 1/2, and you can’t go wrong.
If you paint the new Stucco, this will also hide joint or grout lines.

What is the stucco cement-to-sand ratio?
How much sand is for each coat of Stucco?
Scratch coats are mixed at 1 part cement to 2-1/4 to 4 parts sand, brown coats are mixed at 1 part cement to 3 to 5 parts sand, and finish coats are 1 part cement to 1-1/2 to 3 parts sand.

By the way, brick, concrete, and walls do not need any stucco netting attached; in fact, stucco lath or wire attached is counter-productive.
So, don’t do that.
