In the Japanese garden the stone plays an important role as the main element – it symbolizes the earth and is perceived as stable and practically eternal. That is why it is present everywhere – from a stone path to large, unworked stones that serve as accents, to stone statues that are placed in the middle of the garden. The stones can separate the areas from one another or connect them visually. Anyone Japanese build a garden should leave the space around the stone free – so that it can come into its own.

The Japanese garden looks like a picture – and the garden frames the beautiful landscape. The cherry has become a symbol of the Zen Gardens – its flowers create contrasts. Anyone who has an allotment garden can opt for a bonsai tree. Bamboo wood can offer a suitable finishing – for example, you can build a decorative wooden fence out of bamboo. The wooden terrace in front of the house can also be made of bamboo.

We can hardly imagine a Japanese garden without water. This will make the garden look livelier and more inviting. Opt for a waterfall or pond that has only stones in it. Trees nearby will compliment the overall look. If you don’t have that much space, you can opt for a fountain – it is important that the fountain looks as natural as possible – and is made of stone again.
