[Music] japanese gardens have their own style that make them easily distinguish from other garden designs the garden brings a sense of balance between plants water and rocks the ambiance among them create simplicity and serenity which make one feel relaxed and peaceful if you’ve decided to create or makeover your garden using this design you don’t need to worry about the budget japanese gardens can be initiated experimented completed tweaked and maintained in an inexpensive way in fact you probably only need to consider one of these next 10 Japanese garden ideas for backyard before having a go with your own as always the next list is compiled for you by smphhome.com and without further ado let’s start the countdown 10 a small Japanese inspired backyard garden idea plants water and rocks are the essential elements in a Japanese garden most garden design is based on a natural set so the garden creates a natural feeling when looked at you only need a few kinds of plants for a Japanese garden the idea is to make the garden as simple as possible for instance one or two kinds of shrubs moss and some taller plants are enough for the garden typically Japanese garden has a pond in it but it’s a bit tricky for a small spaced one therefore gravel can substitute the water element all you need to do next is spread it along the center around stepping stones to make a pathway to personalize it differentiz rocks can be used as garden edging to give more of a Japanese feeling to your garden you can use bamboo fence as accent that adds ornamental effect to it the key of the idea is to arrange the garden elements as sparse and simply as possible the simplicity will allow you to contemplate calmly while walking through it nine a cheap Japanese style garden project idea you can turn your limited backyard space into a serene Japanese garden style asset it doesn’t have to be expensive though first collect rocks from surrounding areas to cover the soil using gravel or pebbles in place of grass can keep your budget low and maintenance to a minimum since the garden project is intended for a small area moss and small leafy plants would be needed next you should get shoji screens or shrubs including two stone basins to decor the corner of the garden to mimic a pond and to round out the garden eight plants for a Japanese garden idea plants play an essential role in carving out your Japanese garden style one of which is aelia which is easy to shape and has various colors such as red pink yellow and white another most common plant found in a Japanese garden is bamboo which can also be used as a privacy fence for your garden chamilleia will also accentuate the style and its large lushly flowers and glossy leaves however the most prominent plant of all is cherry blossoms japan is often synonymous with cherry blossoms therefore planting a cherry tree will add significant nuance to your garden cherry trees can adapt in many types of soil so I think it would not give you much trouble plus it can also adapt to multiple exposure of sunlight full partial or shady however it needs moderate to extensive watering care therefore you need to plant it near water access seven invest in a bamboo entrance to embrace the traditional look of a Japanese garden try investing in a bamboo fence and entrance that can block view from the outside it will be better if you grow the bamboo and arrange it as a living fence that adds immittable style to your garden if you already know the bamboo is a fast growing plant if you choose to grow it for your garden choose the clumping type because it’s less invasive than other types six add a bridge a bridge doesn’t have to be built across water ponds or streams an artificial stream can represent water element in your garden and topping it with a bridge will add value into your garden too it’s an alluring aspect which makes you want to walk along the winding path and cross the bridge garden bridge can be made of various materials but for a Japanese garden wooden boards are the best garden kikuchi for example will make the garden look more authentic it’s simple item to find curvy and looks well for both water and gravel five draw some lines if you already have a garden but want to infuse a Japanese look into it you can choose to make some raed sand or gravel just find a spot and clear it from unwanted plants arrange some rocks in the middle or whatever your imagination you have next spread sand or grapple on the empty spot around the rock use a rake to make patterns in the sand waves circles asymmetry the idea is creating an empty space from plants that bring the feeling of balance and stillness the line patterned the sand or gravel represents the ripple of waves around an island or mountain the simple design offers some reflection or contemplation and once you finish the project you can maintain it easily because you don’t have living plants to take care of regularly four prune the tree well niwaki or cloud tree is popular for Japanese gardens due to its unique look it is similarly treated as a topiary tree only their branches are pruned individually to form rounded shapes like clouds the cloud tree should be put away from other big trees so that it can stand out in the garden this kind of pruning work well with small leaves and compact foliage tree such as boxwood u pine Japanese privet or chameleia if you want to add niwoki to your garden select a tree that has unusual branch formation for base design already trained trees are easy to shape but rather expensive while shaping your own tree can take time but entail a low cost you may need to shape the chosen branches by wiring or tying trim the tip to let more branches grow to make a cloud shape three cover it with moss contrast is essential in a Japanese garden so using moss can give the contrast needed in a subtle way the moss can be spread in nooks and crannies to make the garden look green but not too crowded with plants though moss usually lives in humid climates it doesn’t need a lot of water to flourish in fact moss can be incorporated to many garden conditions two let the fish swim japanese garden felt incomplete without fish ponds the sounds of water splashing the rippling of a surface and the fish swimming inside create a calming effect that many gardeners desire more than one person enjoyed spiritual benefits simply by sitting down at the edge of the pond and reflecting on important decisions they made in their life back to the idea although koi is preferable for a Japanese pond it’s quite expensive to purchase and maintain in that case goldfish is a good alternative because it’s cheaper and easy to maintain proper care can make the goldfish live long here’s some tips to do it use adequate filtration system to eliminate any waste second use water plants to add shade and limit algae production use only goldfish food to feed them and don’t overfeed and last top off the water to replenish the lost water during hot days before we get to number one I suggest you press subscribe button if this channel is new to you get new updates automatically every time I upload new videos and
