Landscape Design - Japanese Garden LandscapingThe distinctive look of Japanese gardens is difficult to achieve, yet they are an inspiration for many garden landscapers. Japanese garden landscaping is a formal type of garden landscape design and backyard development. Often the results take years to realize and enjoy. These types of gardens are peaceful, serene retreats where stress disappears and a person can relax and enjoy peace of mind. Japanese Gardens are built on three tenets: water, stone, trees and shrubs. The trees are typically evergreen such as Japanese pines. These and the ornamental varieties are gnarled and shaped to create character and mystery. Japanese garden landscaping is done to create an experience, not just a static view. Each step along the path is designed to open new vistas and reveal new plants and views. Water is one of the key elements of Japanese garden design, and it creates a dynamic, living environment. Most well known features are the bridges that span ponds, creeks or even dry riverbeds. If water is not present on the property, sand or a rock bed can be set in to represent water. Everything is symbolic in Japanese garden landscapes. If Waterfalls,
streams, ponds and other water feature landscaping
interest you, Japanese garden techniques may be a good addition to your project.
