Claim:
A method for constructing a wall which includes left and right visible wall portions which meet at a corner, the method comprising: providing a plurality of wall blocks having opposed top and bottom surfaces, opposed side surfaces, and opposed front and back faces, each opposed side surface having a length being the distance from the front face to the back face; providing a plurality of corner blocks having a block body, the block body including opposed top and bottom surfaces, opposed front and back faces, the back face having a length, the front face having a length including a first portion having a length equal to the length of the back face and a second portion, the first portion of the length of the front face being greater than the second portion of the length of the front face, first and second side surfaces, the first side surface having a length and being orthogonal to the first portion of the front face and to the back face and the second side surface being orthogonal to the front face and having a length less than the length of the first side surface, and a neck, the neck including the second portion of the front face, the second side surface and a back surface extending from the back face to the second side surface; placing the wall blocks and corner block in a first course wherein the wall blocks are assembled such that the front faces form the left and right visible wall portions except at the corner and the corner block is assembled such that the front face is exposed along the first visible wall portion and the first side surface is exposed along the second visible wall portion and wherein the second side surface of the corner bock is positioned adjacent to a side surface of the wall block, the length of the second side surface of the corner block being less than the length of the side surface of the wall block; stacking the wall blocks and corner block in a second course on top of the first course wherein the wall blocks are assembled such that the front faces form the left and right visible wall portions except at the corner and the corner block is assembled such that the first side surface is exposed along the first visible wall portion and the front face is exposed along the second visible wall portion and wherein the second side surface of the corner bock is positioned adjacent to a side surface of the wall block, the length of the second side surface of the corner block being less than the length of the side surface of the wall block; and stacking alternating first and second courses until the desired height of the wall is reached.
