Maintenance for your Japanese garden
Why specialist maintenance
Maintenance with an eye to the garden as a whole
For individuals and businesses
In a Japanese garden, no element stands alone. The shape of a tree influences the lines of sight, planting creates depth, and the space between stones, paths, and greenery largely determines the tranquility in the garden.
That is why our landscapers not only look at what needs to be pruned, cleaned, or updated. With every intervention, we take into account the shape, proportions, and original appearance of the garden. This keeps the whole thing balanced as the garden continues to grow and mature.
Especially shaped trees require a careful approach. This involves not only ensuring the health of the tree, but also maintaining and further developing its characteristic shape.

The replacement or installation of new plants, stones or other materials is always discussed with you in advance.
Form of maintenance
A maintenance service or regular care
One-time maintenance
A one-time maintenance service is suitable when your garden needs a major seasonal overhaul, when there is accumulated maintenance that has not been carried out, or when certain trees, plants or garden elements require extra attention.
Together we assess which tasks are of priority and adjust the implementation to the current situation.

Periodic maintenance
With periodic maintenance, your garden receives the attention it needs at the right times. The work and frequency are adjusted to the plant life, size, development, and use of the garden.
This way we can adjust in time and prevent forms, proportions or important garden elements from being lost slowly.
- Gardens with valuable ornamental trees
- Extensive or complex Japanese gardens
- Gardens created by Yokoso
- Owners who want the garden to be maintained on a regular basis

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about maintaining a Japanese garden
Aftercare is a matter of course with us! An authentic Japanese garden takes time to develop, and is truly achieved through years of proper maintenance. Therefore, after every garden we install, we always offer the option of providing specialized maintenance.
We always recommend two maintenance visits per year ourselves. A thorough check-up in the spring, the beginning of spring, and a thorough check-up in the autumn, the end of autumn. Of course, we can also come by once a year if that is preferred. We can also provide more frequent maintenance in consultation. You can decide this yourself in complete freedom.
Our goal is always to create a garden that is beautiful to admire all year round. We do this by using mainly evergreen plants.
This varies greatly from garden to garden, but generally speaking, watering during the cold winter months is less necessary. After every garden we install, we always provide customized advice regarding watering and minor maintenance.
If you don’t want to spend too much time maintaining your pond or water feature yourself, a good filtration system is the right solution for you. Our specialized team can provide you with expert advice in this area.
There are many plants that are suitable for a Japanese garden that require little maintenance. Examples include ground cover plants, azaleas, taxuses, and maples.
During the autumn, many leaves fall from the trees and plants, and of course a garden without weeds is impossible. This must be removed to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the garden. Additionally, periodic pruning is important to ensure that the plants are in optimal condition.
Examples of winter-hardy plants from the Japanese garden that require relatively little maintenance include azaleas, fatsia japonica, and ilex crenata.
