GARDEN DESIGN

Japanese gardens by a Japanese designer

Takashi Sawano has designed and created Japanese gardens for over twenty-five years, both in this country and abroad.

He has recently completed gardens for the City of Ostend in Belgium and the University of Cambridge's Pembroke College, as well as a number of smaller private gardens. He also created a Japanese garden at Lauriston Castle for the City of Edinburgh which opened in 2002.

Takashi Sawano creates for each of his clients a garden suited to its environment, an extension of nature blended in with the local conditions rather than a piece of "Old Japan" transposed on to foreign soil.

Having made his home in England twenty-five years ago, he has absorbed the culture of the west into his rich oriental background which he sets out to share with clients.

Design and fees

Before creating a Japanese Garden, you may want to see an outlook of your ideal garden. We offer a rough design for a fee of £100 plus VAT. In the first instance, if your garden is located in or near London, we would like to visit it before the rough design is undertaken ( travelling costs would be added ). This is the best way to start. However, if your garden is located some way from London, and you would prefer to send photographs/images, this would be perfectly acceptable. We need approximately 10 photographs or digital images ( jpeg files ). If you are then interested in our rough design, we then discuss going further with an estimation of costs and so on.
