Note in this video of how to stucco CUM pillars, I was asked to match the home’s textured finish.
Yeah, I know his bull-nosed block columns looked cooler before we matched the finish on the home.
I do what I’m asked, or homeowners find someone else to meet their request.

   • Stucco concrete retaining walls.   Plastering concrete walls remove board lines.
   • Stucco over Concrete Blocks   Stucco concrete block walls.
   • Stucco over concrete blocks bricks   Stucco of your brick walls, Green-Core cement.
   • Acrylic stucco over retaining wall, S...   Stucco acrylic going old-world finish.

Stucco thickness on Brick walls or concrete block walls should be at least 1/2 or more; I'm 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.

How much sand is for each coat of Stucco?
Scratch coats are mixed at 1 part Portland 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 Portland cement to 1-1/2 to 3 parts sand. 

    • Sand and cement stucco ratio for spre...  . Sand and stucco ratio for applying consistency how much in the description.

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.
