Japanese Garden: Select the correct privacy
A Japanese garden differs from "ordinary" home gardens by the striking design with many stone sculptures, a sometimes geometrically shaped koi pond and various topiary shrubs. However, this form of garden is also defined by a special form of private seclusion and silence, for which an effective and at the same time aesthetically paser blind is indispensable.
Take into account the special aesthetics of the Japanese Garden with privacy
Not infrequently, a relatively narrow terraced garden is designed according to the principles and ideals of a traditional Japanese garden, as this garden form can be implemented decoratively on a very small area and also usually requires only a very limited care. In order for the mood and atmosphere in a Japanese garden to be truly authentic, it is essential that it directs the view of the interior of the garden and effectively shields influences from outside. So that the privacy itself does not become a visual distraction and an aesthetic disturbing factor of the Far Eastern charm, you should abstain from the usual green screen hedges or proliferating climbing plants in the privacy of a Japanese garden. It is better to supplement and enhance the typical Japanese aesthetics with the privacy screen by considering the following design ideas:
Bamboo as a visual protection material
Since the bamboo as a plant mainly comes from Asia and many people still perceive it as typical Asian, despite its now world-wide distribution, it is perfectly suitable as a privacy screen in a Japanese garden. Now bamboo can serve as a screen in different ways. If living bamboo is planted along the boundary of the property as a natural privacy screen, it is important to ensure that the rhizome barrier is properly spaced. Alternatively, sufficient hardy bamboo species can also be placed in plant pots and troughs. Woody bamboo canes are not only available as wired rolling mats for the design of a Japanese garden, but can also be purchased from specialist dealers as fence elements. The bamboo tubes are usually combined with a decorative frame shape made of wood or metal.
Screen walls made of wood or stone
While simple wooden walls can look barren in many other gardens, they fit perfectly into a Japanese garden with the typically archaic combination of green plants, simple flowers and raw stone and gravel surfaces. Similarly archaic stone walls, which also emphasize the privacy of the garden space with a particularly immovable separation. The privacy walls made of stone can be placed in an interesting relationship to gravel surfaces and stone sculptures.
Tips
The stone baskets known as gabions can either be delivered completely filled with stones, or can be filled directly with local stone.
