This is the site prior to constructing the new Japanese Garden.

This is the conceptual design created for the space. Slight changes were made for the final layout.
Construction begins! Our Limestone step is installed and our gravel for the walk is compacted.
The walk is complete and the outer trellises are being built. The layout for the gravel garden has been determined.
Trellises are complete and the gravel garden is prepped.

The new entryway for the Japanese Garden.
Plenty of textures were utilized to create interest. The horizontal trellis contrasts nicely with the stone and plants.

Trelliswork is installed between existing deck posts to match the rest of the graden.
Thicker boards were used on the bottom of the trellis, whereas thinner ones were used on top.
Boulders were specifically chosen to add character to the space. The gravel surround helps set them off.

Have a seat! The same sized boards were used for the bench as the trellis to create continuity.
The site had great tree canopies which is showcased behind our trellis.
We used Limestone Cobbles to retain existing stone mulch. Limestone wall stone was installed as a paver to match the step.
Great color for this specimen boulder!
Although rather small when installed, both shrubs will hold their own when mature.

Natural stone helps age the project compared to concrete pavers.
