- I want you to know that what I’m talking about here are the larger rocks and boulders that make up a landscape Japanese garden, not the stepping stones, pathways or pond stones, those are all topic s that require their own exploration in another video. The stones in a Japanese Garden really are the anchor and foundation of a garden.

I'm so glad i traded a Harley-Davidson for a Toro Dingo mini skid steer machine. At 64 it's the smartest purchase i've made for my Garden that is 40% complete now here in Virginia.
Nice! You can make some huge changes to your landscape with a small but powerful skid steer! Have fun.
Where in va?
I know exactly how you feel!
This video was truly helpful. I am starting to learn about Japanese garden design. Would like to design/install something like this across the front of my mid-century brick 1-story ranch. It's quite shady, due west with a huge overhang, which makes it difficult to do a "normal" type of front yard landscape. Simplifying to a rock and moss garden with some Japanese grass and perhaps a few azaleas would be lovely.
Sounds like a nice fit. If you have a nice overhang then maybe look into smaller courtyard styles of gardens.
Möchte mich für diesen informativen Video bedanken💐 Suche schon so lange nach so ein Video. Möchte mein Garten neu in Japanischen Stil gestalten.Habe mich die ganze zeit nicht getraut. İhr Video macht mir mut .Danke nochmals und Grüße aus Deutschland
I don't know whether to describe your videos more as either inspirational or informative. I'm slowly building parts of a Japanese garden and don't really plan to ever completely finish. Thank you.
Good luck with it! Haha, I usually try to fall somewhere around that line. Too much info or inspiration can get a little thin.
Love your presentation style. Very easy to follow. Inspiring. You make a great mentor. Thank you.
Falling in love with what could be.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you like the videos and they were easy to understand.
Joshua, Thanks for your hard work putting these videos together ... I find them Simple, informative, and a joy to watch . Something to always come back to. You have an eye for the detail that is so often missed or hidden ... The Ma , Ma ai , Omote and Ura. ...... Best wishes.M
I appreciate that! That means a lot, thank you.
This garden is beautiful. ❤
I'm currently in the process of my Japanese garden and you don't know how helpful your videos have been for me! I want it to be authentic and true to a proper Japanese garden
I'm glad they are helpful! It's always a work in progress.
Dear Joshua, Thank you for the great video! It always makes us happy to see someone as passionate about Japanese landscaping as we are!
Thanks a lot. Keep up the great work on spreading Japanese gardens and architecture throughout the Netherlands and beyond!
This video gives foundational ideas from which to build. Excellent. Thank you.
So nice of you!
thank you
You're welcome
Nice video and well explained.
Thanks for that. Glad you liked it.
Oops you might want to upload the video again , it should be approx 11:30 mn but it is now 1h21mn ! Otherwise I really enjoy your content , All the best
Thanks! Sorry about that
Very cool👌
Thanks!
Great instructional videos! I would like to know what stones ( size, color) to you recommend for water features which are raked. Thanks!!
Hi, I really enjoyed this video! We are planning a Japanese garden. can you direct me to the video that discusses the type of small stones to look for?
I haven't seen a video on it but I think I mentioned it in the description. I have used a combination of course grade and fine grade turkey grit if you are going for a white with a touch of grey color. Since it's a feed they can sometimes be found at farm supply stores, but it is sometimes hard to come by.
Hello! Love your videos. What is used to create the raking sand? Is it decomposed granite? Thank you for the work that you do.
Hi there, sorry for the late reply. I should have mentioned that in the video! I've always used a company called GraniGrit. It's actually a chicken feed (chicken grit) so you might find it at a farm supply store. I get 2 different grades of coarseness, a thicker and thinner. That way any shapes like wave ripples will keep their structure better and won't just blow around if it's too small.
Just subscribed to your channel! I’m starting to make my own little Japanese garden. I used pea gravel but it seems like it’s multi colored compared to the gravel that I see in your video. What would you recommend using instead of the pea gravel. I’m from upstate NY so there’s not much around here. Thanks.

There isn't really a color choice, put I do find the pea gravel a bit to colorful most of the time.
"The dreaded koi pond volcano"
Do you have any tips for incorporating a koi pond then? I'm looking at this as fishkeeper who would love to someday have a koi pond (and accompanying garden) as my ultimate place of calm.
I think one of the main things is to shape the pond in a natural way, as in not just a pre-fab oval pond/pool shape. Using some different size rocks or boulders around the edges will also break up the flat edging you often see.
😍❤️👍😍
not even sure where you’d find a boulder in the UK 😅
Haha! Scotland might have a few you can borrow.
Any local quarry mate, or if you have a building site nearby they will find plenty when they dig foundations depending on the area, just give em a visit! We pick them up regularly to build water features, garden landscapes etc
Was hoping for more on gravel choices. I'm in a house near the Philosopher's Path at Eikando and have a garden that needs perhaps some slight changes to bring out its character. The gravel seems to be oversized. The boulders are great, but perhaps a bit of jungley overgrowth. Message if you're ever in Higashiyama.
Very helpful ….exactly what I was looking for! 🪨
Glad it was helpful!
