raked gravel
Combed stone garden
Raked gravel is small stones arranged in deliberate patterns, typically associated with Japanese Zen gardens.
The surface is combed into lines, waves, or circles meant to suggest water or emptiness, serving as an aid to meditation.
By extension, raked gravel evokes minimalist aesthetics and contemplative calm: The courtyard featured raked gravel and a single boulder.
