Terrace garden

Transverse view along a narrow terrace, Villa Carlotta on Lake Como, Tremezzo, Italy: stairs from an upper level are inset into the retaining wall.

A terrace garden is a garden with a raised flat paved or gravelled section overlooking a prospect.[1] A raised terrace keeps a house dry and provides a transition between the hardscape and the softscape.
