Why gardens are hard to imagine
Gardens change slowly and mistakes compound: a tree planted in the wrong spot is a ten-year problem. Catalogs show plants in isolation; what you need to see is your yard β your light, your fence line, your proportions β with a coherent design applied. That's exactly what AI garden design from a photo does.
What you can explore
- Full-yard moods β Mediterranean gravel garden, lush cottage, low-maintenance modern, family lawn with play zone.
- Structure β paths, seating areas, pergolas, raised beds, borders.
- Terraces & balconies β container planting, screening, lighting ambiance.
- Curb-side planting β the strip that feeds directly into curb appeal.
From photo to plan
- Photograph the space from the house looking out (how you'll actually see it daily) and from the far end looking back.
- Generate directions. The boundaries, structures and perspective of your yard stay put; planting, surfaces and mood transform.
- Pin what's fixed. Keeping the old apple tree or the stone wall? Pin it β proposals will design around it.
- Refine your favorite: more plants, less lawn, warmer materials.
- Take the render to the nursery β it beats describing "something Mediterranean-ish" to the staff.
Tip: generate the same garden in summer-lush and winter-bare moods before committing. A design that only works in July is a design that disappoints ten months a year.
