Design Styles

After deciding to create a Japanese Garden, a homeowner needs to decide which style they wish to create. It is advised that they stick with only one style, because the common suburban lawn is not big enough to use more than one. However, if you feel you have enough space, then it is possible to have more than one style incorporated. Japanese Gardens, take a non-symmetrical approach, making the garden feel more natural. Curving paths make it hard to see what is around the next corner. They entice the observer to journey farther into the garden to see what could be hidden. It is also important to remember that sometimes simplicity is best. In the Japanese style garden a single flower holds a deeper meaning that a whole massing of them. Below is a list of five garden styles, each one ever so unique from the others.
