A garden that has stone pavement

Written by Yukari Matsumoto | May 19, 2022

Hi there.

Many wild plants and flowers are blooming. It's so warm outside, but the heat wears our staff members, who work at the site, down. We need to adjust to the summer weather before it hits peak heat. On the other hand, I still feel a little chilly despite the sunny weather since it's cold inside our temporary office. So, I have to be careful not to get sick from the temperature difference when I go outside.

 

A Tour of the Finished Garden

I visited the finished garden to check it the other day. The front space is surrounded by stone pavement, and the customer’s granite stone is placed to finish the whole area. Their car is often parked on the stone pavement, but we used plenty of stones so that the garden looks beautiful even when the car is not there. Finally, we created a large space that can be used for both parking and anything else.

Under the second-floor balcony, we made flat stone pavement so that they could put chairs to chill out outside.

 

The greenery and undergrowth spreading between the stones live peacefully with each other, giving the garden looks as if years have already passed since it was created. Granite stones added a nice touch to the space. The good thing about the stone is that it looks interesting over time. As the years go by, the stone will have a unique appearance. These materials are essential to creating a garden that has depth and presence.

The stone wall and the plantings are also a perfect match. The green of the tree seen from above the perfectly aligned stone wall creates a soft impression, integrating deeply with the stones. The architecture itself has a cool impression, but the natural curves of the plants soften the atmosphere. The house and the garden must harmonize with each other to create a cohesive space. When seeing the garden from the inside, the stone wall and stone pavement can be seen through the plantings, giving a sense of depth.

The garden will experience extreme summer weather soon. We hope to continue to support them so that the garden can survive the summer and we can watch over how it grows. We will strive to create a healthy garden that can grow over time and remain vibrant and fresh for many years.
