Depending on your budget and where you are, you could use some split architectural block and really have an accent at the entrance/walkway. If you have a good local block producer, you may be able to buy a few split corners (8x8x16) as an over-run for a large job.

In any case, make sure you have adequate vertical reinforcement in the wall and especially at the ends.
