Japanese garden with extreme height difference.
We are invited to design a Japanese garden in a natural forest area with fantastic height differences. The customer took great pleasure in clearing the site himself. We were able to start with a clean canvas.

- Coarse contours are created.
-
- Large black rocks will give body to the garden here.

- Even more green stayers rest in the garden.
