At this Owl Creek home in Anchorage, KY, an outdated deck and gazebo that once overwhelmed the rear yard were replaced with a sleek, modern louvered pergola that provides relief from the hot afternoon sun and offers warm evening ambience through integrated custom lighting. An automatic shade screen adds additional comfort by blocking the late-day sun. The new Azek deck, paired with an aluminum railing, blends seamlessly with the home’s architecture and steps down to a dedicated hot tub area before transitioning to a lower custom concrete patio. A thoughtfully designed stone seat wall and fire pit create a welcoming gathering space, beautifully anchored by Serviceberry trees and a layered mix of perennials and ornamental grasses.
