Japanese Structures:

What kind of structures for your Japanese garden are most suited to you? That will depend on the type of garden you envision. Will it be a stroll garden, a Japanese tea garden complete with tea house, or perhaps a walled garden. The Japanese have long excelled at having very specific structures to suit a particular purpose. Take something as simple as a fence. Garden fences in Japan may be made out of cedar wood, or bamboo canes, or even sections made up of bamboo cuttings tied together several inches thick. And they are not limited to the perimeter of a garden. Frequently, Japanese gardens are divided up into small sections, each of which is a garden unto itself. Gates will appear between sections in an imaginative variety of designs. Some with curved roofs overhead. Japanese wood sturctures are more than just fences, gazebo's, or gates they are the embodiment of a serene setting for quiet reflection.

Paradise Restored specializes in traditional garden structures for Japanese gardens, but we can design and build Japanese-style structures to be integrated into Western or mixed-style gardens.

Traditional Japanese garden structures include teahouses, viewing pavilions, sheltered benches or waiting buildings, entrance gates, midway gates, privacy screens, bamboo structures, and Japanese style fences.
