Photo-based site reference
Keep the concept connected to the visible boundaries, architecture, levels, and main circulation of your outdoor space.
Custom use requirements
Describe privacy needs, pets, children, entertaining, low maintenance, shade, or existing elements that matter.
Multiple landscape directions

A site-focused garden workflow
How AI Garden Design Works
Move from a real outdoor photo to a landscape direction in three steps.
- STEP 01
Upload the outdoor space
Use a photo that shows the site boundaries, house relationship, access, existing trees, levels, and major surfaces where possible.
- STEP 02
Choose garden type and style
Set the outdoor context, landscape style, model, resolution, and custom needs such as dining, privacy, play, shade, or low maintenance.
- STEP 03
Compare garden concepts
Review up to four visual directions, check the site logic, and refine the brief before detailed planting or construction planning.

Homeowner reorganizing a narrow backyard
“I needed dining, planting, and privacy in a tight space. Seeing the zones together stopped the plan from becoming a collection of separate purchases.”
Compared layered planting and compact dining layouts from one backyard photo.

Architect planning a quiet courtyard
“The early images made shade, tree placement, paving, and seating part of the same conversation before technical landscape work began.”
Used custom prompts to prioritize enclosure, filtered light, and restrained materials.

“The strongest option kept a useful play area but made the patio and planting feel intentional instead of pushed to the edges.”
Balanced play, outdoor dining, durable planting, and circulation in one brief.

What to Know Before Planning a Garden with AI
Answers about site photos, planting realism, climate, layout, professional use, and next steps.
What is AI Garden Design?+
AI Garden Design turns an outdoor photo or written brief into landscape concepts for planting, paths, patios, seating, shade, privacy, and other garden elements. It supports early visualization rather than detailed landscape documentation.
Which outdoor spaces can AI Garden Design plan?+
The tool supports backyards, front yards, patios, terraces, courtyards, pool areas, porches, gardens, and playgrounds, with the selected context included in the generation brief.
Does AI Garden Design choose plants for my climate?+
Generated planting is visual and may not be botanically or regionally accurate. Use the concepts to discuss density, form, color, and layout, then ask a local landscape professional or nursery to select suitable species.
Will it keep existing trees and boundaries?+
The prompt asks the model to preserve visible buildings, boundaries, major trees, levels, access, and viewpoint. Image models may still change site details, so verify every result against the real garden.
Can I request a low-maintenance or family-friendly garden?+
Yes. Use the custom brief to describe maintenance level, pets, children, entertaining, privacy, shade, water use, or materials. The image will visualize a direction, not certify performance or safety.
Can I give the generated garden design to a landscaper?+
Yes, as a visual reference for the intended mood, zones, planting density, and material character. A landscaper still needs to assess dimensions, drainage, soil, climate, utilities, levels, regulations, and construction details.
