Cedar contemporary, raked-gravel garden

Raked gravel flowing round moss islands and boulders behind a charred-timber and cedar house, with Japanese maples, a stone lantern, a bamboo water spout and clipped evergreens.

How this design was made

The before is an AI-generated stand-in, not a customer’s yard. The after is our engine’s unedited Japanese design for zone 6. Every pin comes from our plant-identification pass, never placed by hand, and passes a second, independent check. The close-ups re-imagine what the main view doesn’t show, so a path, a step or a pot can differ.

The planting list

Named at the level the design was identified at; the species we stock link to their care pages.

Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum
