Modern gardens

There is a very wide spread of techniques nowadays, taking all past styles and elements and adding more, in the way of modern materials, cut and hewn stone (rocks still play a big part most of the time) and so on. They are often built for corporate and public buildings, as well as in more traditional park settings.
