Abstract

A method of constructing a concrete wall. A mold form is placed upon on a surface at a construction site. A support structure is placed into the mold form and concrete is poured around the support structure within the mold form to form a concrete panel. The upward facing surface of the poured panel is altered with one or more of a color, a texture, and a pattern to form a decorative concrete panel while the panel lies on the ground. The decorative concrete panel is then lifted into an upright position by a crane connected to lifting inserts of the panel. The lifting inserts are desirably located at a side or top end of the panel and not in the decorative surface.
