Upload a yard photo, pick a direction, and get a design that would normally take a landscape architect a few days. Use it as a starting point, or as a brief for the contractor.
A landscape architect charges hundreds for a concept sketch. You can get a similar starting point from a phone photo in seconds.
No scheduled meetings, no waiting for revised drawings. Generate ten ideas in an afternoon and rule out the ones that do not work.
A photo and a style preference is enough. No grids, no plant icons, no CAD.
Use the design to narrow your direction, then hand the strongest result to a real designer if you want detailed planning.
Landscape architecture has always been a premium service. This does not replace a trained designer, but it puts the visualization step within reach of homeowners who would otherwise skip planning and start digging.
The fastest path from wanting a new yard to getting one built: generate a design, refine it, hand it to a contractor as a visual brief. The concept phase compresses from weeks to minutes, and the whole project moves faster.
Style, layout, and plant suggestions are what you get on screen. Budget, climate, maintenance tolerance, lifestyle — that is on you. Together the design comes out beautiful and actually liveable.
For concept visuals — style direction, planting, overall layout — yes. For grading, drainage, irrigation engineering, and anything that needs a permit, you still want a licensed pro.
A clear, well-lit photo taken from a standing height that shows the full area you want to redesign. Avoid extreme angles or heavy shadows.
Yes. Selecting a style suited to your climate ensures the design includes appropriate plant species. You can also specify your hardiness zone for more accurate suggestions.
Yes. Save the design and use it as a reference image for DIY work or as a visual brief when getting contractor quotes.
