Chinese Pond Garden

iNSPiRE Landscape & Garden Design

Welcome to the tranquil embrace of our Chinese Pond Garden, where nature's elegance and human artistry converge in harmonious splendor. At the heart of this sanctuary lies a serene pond, its crystalline waters reflecting the azure sky above and the lush greenery that envelopes its shores. Delicate lotus flowers bloom gracefully on the water's surface, their petals unfurling as symbols of purity and enlightenment. Wandering through this ethereal landscape, you'll encounter the promise of enchantment as a pergola beckons to be built, an architectural marvel destined to frame moments of quiet contemplation amidst the symphony of nature. Several bridges span gracefully across the pond, linking the various facets of this haven and inviting exploration of every hidden nook and cranny. Meandering paths wind through subtropical rainforests, where the vibrant foliage forms a verdant canopy overhead, offering shade and serenity in equal measure. These paths unveil the wonders of the natural world, unveiling the delicate balance between human design and the untamed beauty of the surroundings. As you traverse this haven, traditional arches stand sentinel, outlining key aspects of the garden's design with a nod to timeless aesthetics. Each arch is a portal, inviting you to step into a world where tradition and innovation coalesce seamlessly, creating a sanctuary where the soul can find solace and inspiration. Welcome to a haven where the poetry of nature and the artistry of design come together to weave a tapestry of serenity, inviting you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Chinese Pond Garden.

Conifer 'amphitheater'

Jay Sifford Garden Design

This area, formerly a problem slope, was turned into a "conifer amphitheater", so called because the boulders, some naturally occurring, some added, create shelves and pockets to hold a conifer collection. The trees appear to look down upon garden visitors as they walk through the space to reach the fern garden and Japanese-inspired boardwalk. Photo by Jay Sifford

Asian Garden Design Ideas with Mulch

Get Inspired by Asian Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own Asian garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create an Asian Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes an Asian garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for an Asian garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your Asian garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
