Japanese Style Landscaping

The Japanese garden is a real mysterious world, the main feature of which is simplicity and naturalness, which is why it is so heterogeneous and beautiful. Japanese-style landscaping is a whole ideology created specifically for contemplation and affecting the life of the garden owner. She creates harmony and tranquility in his life. For this purpose, all the elements of this style have been created for centuries, laying the foundation for finding beauty in the natural.

Such a garden needs unobtrusive care, but at the same time quite professional. In this delicate matter, it is very important to have a subtle unique taste and a sense of inspiration, because gardens, made in this style is a real work of art, subject only to the patient to the master.

The most important feature of the Japanese garden is that it is a model of nature in which all plant processes occur without the influence of an anthropogenic factor. Therefore, to create such a garden, you need to display a natural image that characterizes a particular area, as well as your understanding of the type of surrounding space. In the Japanese garden, each element of the landscape has its own personification. Each pebble, tree or bush represents something.

The main focus is not on the visible natural scenery, but on the inner hidden meaning.

This style is suitable for sites of absolutely any size: from quite huge to the smallest. But there are still standard sizes of space - from 2 to 10 hundred parts. The shape and location of the site also does not matter.

 The key components of the Japanese style are stones, water and vegetation. You need to use local materials, common in the area where the future garden will be located. A special feature is the asymmetry in everything. This also applies to the location of the fundamental elements, and the diversity of their shapes, colors and sizes. The main task is to emphasize the naturalness of the texture and content, to create the most similar landscape that matches nature. This is the uniqueness of the Japanese style.

The design often uses dry streams of stones, various forms of water, trees with crown shapes in the form of hills, paved paths.

All components of the landscape should be distributed evenly: so that there are not many and not enough, so that they all merge into one single composition, where everything is in its place.

Creating a Japanese-style garden, it is better to divide the area to be formed into sections of irregular and irregular shapes so that each such section has its own extraordinary composition. Between sections should be made smooth transitions from additional elements.

The palette of colors should be calm, soft, relaxing, muted tones should be chosen. A good solution is to make a color scheme from smooth shades of one color, this is a sign of high skill.
Traditional Japanese gardens are intended for a quiet worldview. They provide a cozy spiritual refuge for their inhabitants, who value moderation and peace.
