Water act soothing, so if you choose a pond or fountain, make sure it fits more into the natural environment. To achieve this, add some water plants, for example bamboo. The Japanese garden is modest when it comes to plants. The default is to use plants such as bamboo, cherry wood, pine or Japanese maple. In the ponds place lotus or other water plants that bloom.

The stones are very important in a Japanese garden decoration. First place large stones, while others are surrounded by them. Also add little stones and gravel place besides water, whether as part of that area or inside the water. If you want a sandy path, play with shapes, colors and size of the stones. Make a path that will be partially in the shade and partial light that will be interesting to look during the day. Japanese gardens seem simple and uncomplicated. Although they look simple, it should be borne in mind that it should reflect the elegance of the real environment.
