Stone that settles into a garden the way it settled into the ground
We work through decorative stone, retaining wall reinforcement, and rockery arrangement for country-style gardens across Japan, starting with the material itself rather than a sales pitch.

What we bring to a garden
A garden built with stone is judged over decades, not seasons. Our work is about reading a site honestly — the exposure, the drainage, the way water moves through a slope — before a single stone is chosen or a wall is drawn.
Material first
Samples are handled in your own light and weather before any commitment is made, since colour and texture shift considerably once wet.
Structure examined
Walls are read for footing depth, drainage, and batter angle, not just surface appearance, so a plan addresses the cause and not only the symptom.
Composition drawn to scale
Rockery and paving layouts are set out with numbered placement order, so the heaviest work happens first, while access is still open.
How a project usually unfolds
Site read
We look at exposure, slope, and existing stone before recommending anything.
Samples or survey
Stone plates left with you, or a wall condition review with a trial hole where access allows.
Written plan
A scaled drawing or specification you can hold onto, act on now or later.
Staged work
Spread across seasons if that suits you, with clear notes on what can wait.
