∙ 13y agoIt all depends if you want to remove the lath, scratch, brown, and color coat. This is a 3 phase job that is very durable and strong. You can go to Home Depot and buy a heavy duty wall scraper; that should do just for the Eight of an inch stucco coating you have on your wall. If you want to remove it all, call a professional to do it.
