I would paint it in mottled earth tones to blend in with the background.

It would be quite the undertaking, but you could always start over an terrace the wall. It would add depth an some places to plant some year round interest.

I would plant some trailing plants above the wall to eventually cover it up.There are many perennial trailing plants, some of which are flowering for some extra interest.

How about putting an arbour with a couple of benches in front of the wall?Somewhere on here I have seen benches made of cinder blocks ( not the ones from the wall) and either 4x4's or 6x6's. Using the retaining wall as the back rest forthe benches. I would still paint the wall to blend in with the back ground. If you added a few blocks and some 1/2 tires here and there you could paint it and have a dragon in your yard. LOL Good luck and Pls. Share when your done.

I would defiantly consider painting the wall first. Once that is done I think you will get a better idea of what to do next. Plant, use garden statues,water features. etc.

How about putting some faux stone on it if you do not want to repaint it. You could put pressure treated would strips on it vertical would make it more modern looking or horizontal would make it look more contemporary.
