This estate landscape design pairs a sleek, mid-century modern home with a lush, terraced garden that turns a sloped lot into a series of destinations, from a vanishing-edge pool to a private pond retreat. At the heart of the property, a wide stone staircase cascades down the hillside through layered planting beds bursting with crape myrtle, lilac, salvia, and ornamental grasses in shades of pink, purple, orange, and gold.
Boulder retaining walls terrace the slope into distinct garden rooms, while a flagstone path threaded with creeping thyme leads visitors from the motor court all the way to a shaded seating area near the base of the hill. A vanishing-edge pool with a raised stone chimney backdrop and a sun shelf hugs the rear of the home, framed by flowering trees and stone planters that echo the architecture’s natural material palette.
