In these dry gardens, water is symbolized by the sand. This is the reason why the sand is raked in patterns. This suggests waves or rippling water. Stones are then put in here and there. These are the only decorative elements.

The rocks are associated with islands or mountains. The pattern of the stones may vary.

Sometimes exterior gardens are made of stones embedded in concrete. These stones form geometrical lines and figures varying alternatively from black to white.

In a northern climate, embedding stones in concrete guarantees that your garden will survive during winter.
