Example of City Screen wall specification- is below  (detail 109). These change- you must contact your presiding agency to insure current standard.  - Again this is just an example

On privacy and screen walls, fence block (tongue & groove) is the most common with tract builders.  Conventional CMU generally using 8" wide product in a smooth, smooth with a split face accent band or stuccoed is very popular, along with slump.

If you are having your wall professionally installed (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED), an alternative to conventional installation is a design is called Proto 2 (TM), it is a post tension system which designed primarily to improve 4" or 6" wide wall stability. It is available from several masonry wall installers here in Tucson.  Essentially vertical threaded rods are hooked into horizontal rebar in the footer. Block is placed over rod to desired wall height, then a plate and nut are placed on top block and torqued down specified value.
