Create an island of peace - we'll show you how to create a Japanese garden. Plan the perfect Zen garden step by step.
Creating a Japanese garden – stones and art
In Japanese-style outdoor spaces, stone plays an important role as the main element - it symbolizes the earth and is perceived as stable and practically eternal. That's why it is present everywhere - from a stone path, to large unfinished stones that serve as accents, to stone statues placed in the middle of the garden. The stones can separate the areas from each other or visually connect them. If you want to create such an oasis of peace, you should leave the space around the stone free so that it can be shown to its best advantage.
Grass, plants and trees
The Japanese garden looks like a picture - and the garden frames the beautiful landscape. The cherry has become a symbol of the Zen garden - its flowers create contrasts.

Creating a Japanese garden – the role of water
We can hardly imagine a design without water. This will make the garden appear more lively and inviting. Choose a waterfall or pond that only has 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.
