Japanese gardens were deeply influenced by Zen Buddhism and China gardens, and gradually formed a complete spiritual system. Plants in the courtyard, such as rocks and gravel, all represent different meanings. As a place for family leisure life, there is no need to stick to strict design specifications when planning courtyard greening. It may be a good way to make the courtyard more in line with one's own aesthetics and lifestyle by drawing the basic elements that one likes from the Japanese courtyard and matching them with each other.
Enhancing Privacy Japanese courtyards attach great importance to creating a quiet atmosphere. Many courtyards are designed with hot spring Tang Chi, so courtyard design attaches great importance to enhancing privacy.
Landscape elements: the bamboo and wood high fences around many courtyards are full of simple oriental beauty, which enhances the privacy of the garden. In China, bamboo poles and Chinese fir are generally used to process such fences. There are aluminum alloy bamboo walls in Japan, which have the same appearance as bamboo, but provide sufficient weather resistance and are rarely sold in China.

Garden elements: The Japanese-style courtyard of the garden gate is unique in the design of the gate, and the traditional wooden doors and shingles make people feel nostalgic and simple oriental atmosphere outside the door. Retract the garden gate into the courtyard, and the space design of 1 m can make people feel the depth of the courtyard, provide more planting space for the open space at the gate, and enrich the elevation level of the courtyard. The garden gate is equipped with bamboo fences around it, which blocks a certain line of sight and increases the aesthetic interest of the courtyard. Adding waterscape elements to gardens is inseparable from the design of Japanese courtyards. According to personal preferences and different courtyard areas, you can set up ponds with wooden arch bridges, hand-washing bowls in the corners, or sand pools and rocks symbolizing the sea and islands. Water can not only add landscape charm to the courtyard, but also be full of oriental philosophy and Zen thought.
Whether you choose to design a pond in the courtyard or choose a dry landscape with typical Japanese style and easy care to decorate the courtyard, you may wish to add some embellishment elements according to your personal taste to make the oriental style in the courtyard more rich.

Trees, shrubs, flowers and grass are all essential for a courtyard with rich layers, especially Japanese-style courtyards. Although there can be no flowers, there can be no trees and grass. In addition to beautifying the environment, plants also have the functions of protecting privacy and separating space. Paving the ground with Sedum and some lawns, and using some yellow day lilies at the entrance and boundary can also add a lot of bright luster to the whole courtyard. Koi fish Fish Pond is the focal landscape of many courtyards. Acer truncatum and Rhododendron can be planted around it, and water bamboo and duckweed can also be planted. Besides, Eichhornia crassipes, litchi and lotus are also good aquatic plants. Next to Tang Chi, Cynanchum bungeanum, Aesculus chinensis and some broad-leaved temperate plants can be planted to create a warm visual effect for Tang Chi. No matter what kind of plant it is, it must follow the principle of "letting nature take its course".
Landscape elements: moss and grass are very soft, and walking on them will have a pleasant and warm feeling. In Japanese-style courtyards, planting moss in damp places can also add a long breath of time. The grass in the oriental courtyard is mostly decorative, and some shrubs and stones are often planted.
Landscape elements: flowers, plants and flowers are important gardening techniques. If the garden path is surrounded by flowering plants on both sides, it will add a sense of tranquility and comfort to people walking in it. Attention should be paid to the combination of levels, the fence or the surrounding area is suitable for higher plants, and low varieties should be selected on both sides of the path.
Landscape elements: tall plants, trees in the oriental courtyard pay more attention to form and meaning. Castanea henryi, conifers and bamboos are all good choices. Maple leaves turn red in autumn, which can add a lot of beauty to the courtyard. There are many kinds of pine and cypress beside the rock, which means "expressing ambition" and "being better than Germany".
