How to Pick the Perfect Location
When planning a zen garden or area in your backyard, it helps to find the perfect location.
Many people opt to have their zen garden located in a part of the yard that is visible from the inside. Whether it be through your kitchen or bedroom window, having your perfectly designed zen garden visible from inside your home increases the feelings of peace and relaxation.
Even if you don�t have time to go relax in your zen garden, seeing it every day can help the stress melt away. We all know how nice it is to look outside and see the yard of our dreams just steps away.
Where is the best place to create your zen space? Pick a relatively flat and shady area to put in your zen garden to keep landscaping and gardening easy to maintain while maximizing the relaxing effects.
If you don�t have natural shade present in your backyard, you can take advantage of your stylish, durable and functional awning or pergola from Majestic Awnings to fully achieve the zen garden of your dreams.
Updating Your Landscape
Many zen spaces incorporate raked gravel and stepping stones. If you are looking to keep things low-maintenance and more traditional, gravel and stones are the way to go. Using landscaping fabric beneath the gravel keeps weeds at bay while decreasing the amount of maintenance you�ll need to do going forward.
Zen Garden Plants
Zen gardens are all about minimalism and visually appealing areas that keep things relaxing and peaceful. Consider incorporating garden plants into the area to make it feel more authentic.
Great options for zen garden plants:
Bamboo
Japanese Maple
Japanese Boxwood
Painted Lady Fern
Garden Juniper
Evergreens
The goal of zen garden plants is to keep things feeling natural and harmonious without needing too much maintenance or manicuring.
The above plants are low maintenance while still achieving the balanced effect of nature that promotes feelings of peace and relaxation.
