Santa Monica Color Terraces

What began as a bare, eroded slope was transformed into a layered, color-rich landscape that feels deliberate from every angle. Strong geometry and crisp paths organize the site, while sculptural succulents are softened with waves of flowering perennials and groundcovers. Bursts of pink, orange, yellow, and purple bring movement and seasonal change, turning the garden into a living composition rather than a static planting. The result is a bold, water-wise garden that stabilizes the hillside, complements the architecture, and continues to evolve beautifully over time.
