Josh · Answer

Pebble dashing typically requires temperatures to be above 5°C (41°F) for the mortar to set properly. If the weather dips below this, the curing process can be adversely affected, leading to compromised durability.

Wayne · Answer

No not really can do it all year round as long as it's not too cold like below minus -1

Steven · Answer

It is certainly a little more difficult to predict the weather in October, but anywhere above 5.c should be ok but you'll need dry weather also.

Damien · Answer

It’s completely possible to render and dash in the winter frost proofer would need to be used as it gets colder and the weather really does depend as if it is raining it can wash it all away unless you have the facilities to be able to sheet the area down and stop the weather getting to the area then weather isn’t a problem
