An Asian water garden is not usually and necessarily a big space. It can be built even in a fairly modest site. Before installing such a garden, it is necessary to evaluate ground, and to identify the key areas of the tracks and plantations defined according to the specificities of the garden. Among the characteristics of the Japanese garden is its sobriety. But the Chinese style is generally more open and complex. The main actors in the Asian water garden are stone and water that are complementary.

You can use typical Asian attributes, such as bamboo fences, a single stone, or a group of traditional figures, turtles, stone lanterns, benches, and kiosks with pointed roofs. The site should be packed with gravel tiles or stone flooring, supplemented by green moss in sunny locations.

The different types of coatings combine with each other to appear as natural as possible. The soil excavated in the “bed” formation of the reservoir can be used to create artificial hills, islands, cascading waterfalls. In the narrow sections of the basin it is necessary to put a bridge.

Among the features of the Eastern tradition, path paths. With their help, we vary the pace and direction of the walk. The width of the path and the path can change the optical illusion to increase or decrease the area. The important thing is the material from which it is designed. In traditional gardens we prefer grasses and ferns. They surround the paved paths, fill the slopes and frame the boundaries of the basins. It is important to preserve the contemplative nature of the compositions, keeping symmetry and regularity, all plants should look more natural.
