A stucco wall is any wall built from any number of raw materials that is then covered with stucco. Stucco is made by mixing an aggregate, a binder, and water together into a compound that is then applied, while wet, to the surface of the wall. This material then hardens into a dense solid that creates a strong, decorative façade.
Stucco is commonly applied to surfaces that lack aesthetic appeal, such as basic concrete, cinder blocks, plain brick, and metal. One of the greatest benefits of this type of wall is the weather resistance it features. It is durable and attractive and will add curb appeal on both a functional and an aesthetic level.
We can see this in two very common types of stucco walls that are commonly built for Houston residents. One of these is the retaining wall. Adding stucco to the façade of a retaining wall is often done to match the color of the home and other hardscape designs on the property. It also adds additional decorative support to flower beds or small gardens planted in the backfill itself.
