Aerial view of a dark-framed aluminum louvered pergola with closed cream louvers attached to a two-story brick home over a large curved paver patio with stone pier bases and a landscaped retaining wall

Shot from a drone angle, this image shows a dark aluminum pergola with a closed louvered roof attached to the rear of a two-story brick suburban home, its stone-clad pier bases integrating with the large curved paver patio below. A curved retaining wall with fresh plantings defines the patio perimeter while a wide lawn extends beyond — a Midwest residential install that shows how an attached aluminum pergola scales naturally to a traditional brick home exterior.
