Pour a concrete wall. Has to be a lot cheaper than using blocks.

Up hear in the hills of the Northeast, it's not finding or paying for rock that's a problem. It's moving it :)

Use the cement blocks for the bottom 2 courses, and top with 2 courses of your decorative bricks… Then you could either texture the outside lower courses, or use some kind of plantings to cover it…

Not in the parks, in my backyard silly rooster. I have old rock walls around my field and woods line. I must have a lifetime supply.
