Styles of Oriental Garden Design
Japanese Garden Landscaping
Japanese landscaping takes a minimalist approach to instill a sense of peace. From formal and semi-formal to informal styles, Japanese gardens are places of quiet relaxation and contemplation.
Japanese gardens feature simple lines, peaceful pathways and wooden or stone bridges. Water features such as ponds and bamboo spouts contribute to the atmosphere of serenity.
Ken Lamb of Imperial Gardens is an internationally recognised Oriental landscaper. His specialty Japanese creations include tea gardens, stroll and viewing gardens, as well as courtyard and contemporary gardens.
Chinese Garden Landscaping
Chinese gardens have ancient roots that go back 3,000 years. These gorgeous gardens are renowned for their ornate use of colour, sculpture, literature references and other art forms.
Typical features of Chinese gardens include enclosing walls and ponds that may contain fish. Pavilions and pagodas, like all the other elements, have special significance that brings a unique expression to your garden.
Imperial Gardens are deeply experienced in designing and building Chinese gardens throughout Australia. Our founder, Ken Lamb, is the author of a definitive pruning guide for the Chinese Garden of Friendship in Darling Harbour.
Contemporary Oriental Landscaping
Contemporary Oriental gardens combine the ancient with the modern. There’s no facelift for your home better than an up-to-date interpretation of Japanese or Chinese garden design. The results are inviting and deeply beautiful.
Imperial Gardens works throughout Sydney to design, build and maintain contemporary Oriental gardens. Features we often include in these gardens include pruned Buddhist pines, zig-zag paths and pebbled areas.
Our founder and principle landscaper, Ken Lamb, carefully selects the most appropriate ancient design principles and uses them to accentuate your home’s own beauty.
Balinese Garden Landscaping
Balinese gardens are heavily inspired by the lush tropics. Coolness and shade are important concepts, making Balinese gardens a haven on hot afternoons.
Balinese landscaping makes use of the sounds of falling water, jungle style plant life and open structures with thatched roofs.
Imperial Gardens has direct access to the largest importer of Balinese garden features in the country. With our decades of experience, we design, build and furnish stunning Balinese gardens throughout Sydney and Australia.
Make your garden a sanctuary in Australia’s hot weather.
