There are a variety of elements used throughout a Japanese garden, but the three most important and basic ones that you will find in every garden design are: rocks, plants and water features. The reader will note that rocks and stones are the main items of discussions to emphasize its prominent roles and its many uses and purposes in Japanese or Japanese-inspired gardens.
Large rocks will make excellent covers to screen off parts or sections of a garden. For example, perhaps your water hoses and water connection are near an area of your garden and you don't want it visible to visitors. A large boulder and complimentary bush would hide the out-of-place items, yet allow you access to use them as needed.

Interesting rocks can be placed where plants are hard to grow. This happens when plants do not seem to grow well regardless of how you fertilize or enrich the soil. Some soil is simply not meant to be planted with anything. Whatever the problem, a nice rock arrangement might do the trick.
Water features will look more natural with rocks or stones. Place near ponds to make the area more natural looking and visually appealing. A flat surface stone slab for kneeling would fit right next to a water basin and would look perfectly natural. Instead of a man made structure, a large rock with a smooth surface may be used a seat.
Pathways or lanes can be lined with stones and rocks. Walkways meander around with stones arranged as points of reference and to steer strollers to the right direction. It also encourages them to slow down and contemplate the arrangement, making the walk more enjoyable.
It is necessary to keep garden strollers out of some parts of a garden. Plants or water features or stones are also used to limit visitors' movements in designated areas. If arranged nicely, it will form natural obstacles just like one will encounter in a natural wild setting.
Rocks are a wonderful backdrop for plants. Odd-shaped boulders or rock groupings will be a good match up for plant arrangements. Place the rock a bit farther back from the plants, so as to provide depth perception and allow the plants to be the focus (or vice versa).
Stones are used to strengthen earthen walls and slopes. Large stones can be used as retaining walls or as foundation for earthen walls. In areas where there are sharp slopes, a series of steps may be made with flat rocks.

Stones can be used to form the bank of a waterway. The stones will give the small brook a very natural and realistic look. Secure rocks within the banks to help prevent erosion of the earth by the water.
