How to Use AI for Landscape Design

What is AI Yard Design Generator?

AI Yard Design Generator is a photo-based landscape design platform. It transforms a yard, patio, garden, side yard, or pool photo while preserving the home and the main structure of the property.

Instead of drawing a mask, choose the outdoor area, a style or function, and any optional elements. Location text helps the generator choose climate-appropriate plants and materials.

• Front Yard: curb appeal styles from modern minimalist to cottage and Mediterranean.
• Backyard: relaxation, dining, play, pet-friendly, fire-pit, workspace, and other functions.
• Patio & Terrace: dining, lounge, pergola, outdoor kitchen, urban terrace, and poolside layouts.
• Garden Retreat, Side Yard, and Pool & Spa each have purpose-built presets.

Step 3: Add useful context

Add landscape elements such as planting, paths, pergolas, seating, water, or fire features. A city or region improves climate fit, while Additional requirements can capture goals such as low maintenance, pet friendly, or native planting.

Step 4: Generate, compare, and download
