Japanese Garden Hoofddorp

Japanese Garden Hoofddorp
Yokoso Japanese Gardens was asked to develop a small Japanese garden in a modern Dutch suburb. This project clearly shows that a very satisfactory result can also be achieved on a limited budget. By reusing the tiles from the old terrace combined with granite curb stones and black pebbles, a real Japanese footpath was created. Thanks to the diagonal application of the tiles in the path the garden feels more spacious.

The existing wooden walls in the middle of the garden, the terraces, on the water and next to the house were respected and included in the design. The existing boulders and stones have been reused to create a dry waterfall in the gravel. Also, a stepping stone staircase was created that connects the stone terrace with the upper wooden terrace.

To improve the appearance of the tree stems, the trees have been pruned severely. A large Rhododendron has also been placed inside the wooden walls. Furthermore, the garden is decorated with Taxus bulbs. A price-friendly low growing Sedum variant was applied as a ground cover. The result is great and the customer was very satisfied.
