Terraced Rock Garden with Dry Stream
A terraced rock garden features weathered boulders, a curving dry stream filled with river pebbles, fine tan gravel, and drought-tolerant agaves outside a white stucco and cedar-clad house in daylight.
Design notes
Modern design is about restraint: clean geometry, a tight material palette and details that disappear into the architecture. Look for long straight edges, large-format paving, flush transitions between inside and out, and planting kept architectural — hedges, grasses and one or two specimen trees.
What to look for
- Path width and bed width — can you reach and can a wheelbarrow pass
- Where the water is and how far the kitchen door is
- Edges and structure that still look good in winter
