Frequently Asked Questions

AI Yard Design is a professional-grade landscape design platform that combines landscape-design principles with artificial intelligence. It analyzes your outdoor-space photo and creates a visualization based on your preferred direction and location context.

The workflow is organized around real landscape choices: spatial planning, materials, planting compatibility, regional climate, and styles tailored to each outdoor area. The result is intended as a practical concept rather than a generic picture of another property.

New accounts receive 2 free credits. Quick preview uses 1 credit. Purchasing any credit pack unlocks Best quality, higher-resolution planning sheets, My Designs, and cloud saving.

It serves homeowners exploring a front yard, backyard, patio, garden, side yard, or pool project, as well as professionals creating early concepts for parks, commercial sites, residential communities, restoration work, and streetscapes.

Front Yard includes 15 styles and Pool & Spa includes 10. Backyard has 15 functional directions, Patio has 11 layouts, Garden Retreat has 14 goals, and Side Yard has 6 narrow-space styles. Large-scale projects use a separate set of planning presets.

The Location field gives the generator context about precipitation, temperature, growing zone, familiar plant palettes, and locally appropriate materials. You can edit or remove the location at any time, and local verification is still recommended before planting.

Upload a clear photo, choose the area and required style or function, add optional elements and location, select Quick or Best quality, generate, then compare, download, share, or fine-tune. Most runs finish in about one to two minutes.

Recommendations use regional and horticultural context, but local soil, irrigation, exposure, availability, pets, and microclimates can change what succeeds. Confirm final species and mature sizes with a local nursery or landscape professional.

Use a sharp, wide daylight view that clearly shows the design area and the house or fixed hardscape. JPG, PNG, and HEIC are supported up to 20MB. Higher-resolution images with even light generally produce clearer concepts.

Quick preview produces a single clean image for 1 credit. Best quality produces a taller three-part design sheet with a clean design, numbered items, and a DIY plant list. Best costs 2, 3, or 4 credits at 1K, 2K, or 4K.

No. Select the relevant area type and its style or function. The generator focuses on that zone and tries to preserve the home and major existing structure.

Images and prompts are processed to provide the service. Saved-design visibility is account controlled, while results marked public may appear in the gallery. See the Privacy Policy for storage, third-party processing, deletion, and contact details.

Use the image and planning list as an early shopping and communication guide, share it with a landscaper, or build the project in phases. Verify measurements, grading, drainage, utilities, structural work, and permits before construction.

Yes. Try another preset, change optional elements, update your requirements, or use Fine-tune to describe a focused change such as swapping paving, adding a fire pit, or simplifying the planting.

They are visual recommendations, not engineered documents. A qualified professional should review retaining walls, structures, electrical work, water features, code requirements, quantities, and site-specific construction details.
