Maintenance of a Japanese garden is largely a matter of housekeeping; it involves weeding, clearing away dead leaves, raking sand and gravel areas, and keeping paths and lakes clean. Pruning must be precise and frequent; trees and shrubs must never be permitted to grow out of bounds or out of character. Watering and disease and pest control are, of course, just as necessary as in any other garden.
