Last step with the pergola was to redo the concrete wall. Could have just repainted...but this is quite ugly most of this was underground before I put the patio in. Decided to buy some cedar planks and stain the same color as the pergola. Used construction pencils for spacing.

Just needed to run some furring strips on the wall, and used a nail gun to put up the planks. No need to paint the wall black, you can't see the red through it, but did need to stain the studs.

Think this looks much better. I'll add come hanging planters to the wall also thinking of these sconces that would just shine down.

I know...need to weedwhack the yard. Been busy, no time for maintenance.
