UPDATE 21/03/2020: I now use terrain defaults (a combination of these: Lush / Desert / Concrete / Dirt) so I made some additional RCs of these to match them. I have offered them as an additional download file if you would like those instead 
I love this retaining wall set by tbudgett as I like my basements to poke out and have windows etc. but I noticed there is no grass or sand textures for the tops. Therefore I decided to extract some textures from the game files and make recolours
It's not a perfect match as a) the recolours are much more high-res than the game lot textures and b) the object itself has a shine to it. However, from most angles it is very convincing. You can still place bushes or flowers on it too to make it blend in even more
Includes 4 RCs: grass and desert PLUS 2 extras - concrete and a cool looking desert/sparse grass texture I found in the game files.
The recolours can be found as added swatches to the original Retaining Wall Top items in misc. decorations.
You MUST download the meshes as they are not included, but really why would you not want the whole set in your game 
Enjoy
