Japanese-style gardens are gaining popularity in the U.S. as homeowners seek tranquility in their backyards. Inspired by their natural aesthetics and ancient philosophies, designers like Doug Hoerr and Molly Sedlacek emphasize the importance of creating serene, sacred spaces. Despite the differing climates across the U.S., the principles of Japanese gardens, including the use of stone, water, and asymmetry, adapt well. Landscape designers are interpreting these traditional elements in diverse environments to cater to contemporary demands for restorative landscapes.
The beauty of a Japanese garden is that they are pared back to only what is necessary.
Japanese gardens emphasize harmony, restraint, and a carefully curated sensory experience that contrasts with the fast-paced modern life.
