We installed the footings and laid the block walls using a standard type block , we then scratch coated the walls and laid the brick cap.
We then came back and plastered the columns and walls to a smooth finish and the homeowner painted the walls.
this is actually considered a fence along the street as the front door faced the side street and this allowed for the wall.

We installed this 8 foot high block fence using a khaki color splitface block on the neighbors side, we then plastered and color skim coated the customer side smooth.
The customer wanted to add columns to help break up the wall so we attached 4 inch wide block to the face and and purged the the block as we built the columns.
We then finished the columns with cultured stone and install a black concrete wall cap .
