By detail, do you mean Engrave?  You can only Engrave a natural stone wall which has already been smoothed.  Engraved walls are worth more than smoothed ones.

Short of changing entire tilesets and graphics mods, the answer is no.  More smoothing and engraving, directly influences the number of migrants.

You also cannot engrave a built wall, so plan your fortress carefully.
