Step into the serenity of a traditional Japanese garden, where every element is designed to evoke harmony and balance. With carefully selected Acers (Japanese maples) and Taxus cuspidata (Japanese yew), these plants are positioned to create the impression of a lush thicket, blending seamlessly with their surroundings. A shallow water feature, complete with a yatsuhashi (zig-zag bridge), invites you to slow down and take in the tranquil beauty. Rocks, symbolizing Japan’s mountainous landscapes, are thoughtfully placed for their color and texture, while dry sand landscaping, inspired by temple gardens, replaces traditional lawns, offering a peaceful retreat. Stepping stones, arranged in the ‘goosewalk’ pattern, guide you through this meditative space, encouraging moments of reflection.
