Cement Block Retaining Wall

suggest you dye or paint??? decorative ideas to look next to our home and pool house

I'd stain. This way, you will not have to repaint every year or two.

Leave some "pockets" in the wall and planting vines, like lime, as aubritia blue, will look beautiful in a few years.

I like the idea of Norman. Also, you can paste or hang decorative metal designs. Paint them a contrasting color.

They sell blocks that look natural and have bumpy permanent color tone of built land in which never fade, there is no way to paint or stain concrete without the headaches of maintenance. I like the idea of plants as Normans.

few blocks of color split-face disarmed ... no stain, no paint ... more beautiful than plain block ...
