Japanese Garden Design

The Japanese style is focused on simplicity, natural beauty, minimalism and the elements of water, rock, air and earth. Plants are evenly spaced to create a tranquil environment. Small bridges connect the garden sections by guided paths surrounded by lanterns and ornaments.

Assymetry

Natural and hamonious feeling from avoiding perfect symmetry.

Enclosure

Enclosed by walls, fences and hedges creating a sense of protection and seclusion.

Scenery

Surrounding landscapes are incorporated into the garden design.

Balance

Elements of water, rock and plants are all balanced.

Symbolism

Japanese gardens select specific species to reflect mythical and religious symbology.
