Gardening Methods

Does anyone know the name of this Japanese art?

It’s actually a style of landscaping. I’ve seen pictures of many gardners in Japan doing this a lot. It’s supposed to bring the mind enlightenment and help keep it sharp. They take these large dust brooms and groom numerous gravel pebbles to the point where they are all evenly distributed. That way the garden looks nice and manicured. Everything is organized and symmetrical. They usually do it around bansai trees and whatnot? Does anyone have any idea what I’m talking about? Does there happen to be a specific name for it? I wish they did this in America.

It’s a Zen garden and if you like them – you are going to love this website.
