<strong>Tip 1: Put the Cap On</strong>
Use cap-block finishing parts. If you built a wall and put a blue stone cap on it, and cemented it in, you can back fill the dirt right up to the top. But if using a block that is just placed on top, hold down the top soil since it is finished on all sides, unless the landscaping doesn't allow the look for that.
