A sunny hilltop garden with Mediterranean plantings chosen for its colors and textures creates a landscape that feels like a natural extension of the hills in front of and behind the home. Mature oaks and native Arbutus trees offer dappled shade. Native shrubs and low-maintenance grasses complete the planting, further integrating the house with the surrounding environment. This approach ensures a resilient, water-wise landscape that offers seasonal interest, lush greenery, and a connection to the rolling terrain.
