AI landscape design for real homes

See a better landscape before you change your yard

Start with photos of the outdoor space you already have. GardenGPT helps you compare practical design directions while keeping your home, boundaries, mature trees, and other elements that should stay.

Suburban backyard

Turn an empty lawn into an outdoor room

Keep useful lawn and the mature tree, then add a modest terrace, layered planting, and a compact place to gather.

Preserved: house, fence, mature tree, lawn area

Same property. Same camera. A clearer direction.

Landscape ideas grounded in the space you actually own

These examples show the kind of visual planning GardenGPT supports: the building and fixed context stay recognizable while planting, circulation, seating, and material choices change.

Set the brief in plain language

Choose the space, style, and elements that matter

A stronger result starts with clear context. Tell GardenGPT what kind of outdoor space this is, the visual direction you prefer, and what must remain unchanged.

What GardenGPT can — and cannot — do

Use it to explore

  • Different landscape directions for the same photographed space
  • Planting, path, seating, privacy, and material relationships
  • Low-lift refreshes and more ambitious visual concepts
  • Ideas to discuss, save, compare, and refine before purchasing

Do not treat it as

  • A construction drawing, permit set, or measured site plan
  • A guarantee that a plant suits your climate, soil, pets, or local rules
  • A structural, drainage, electrical, or irrigation engineering decision
  • A final cost estimate or substitute for a qualified local professional

From photo to a direction you can use

A simple path for DIY planning

  1. 01

    Show one space

    Upload one photo or up to four angles of the same yard, patio, balcony, or garden.

  2. 02

    Set priorities

    Confirm the space type, style, practical needs, and fixed elements to preserve.

  3. 03

    Compare and refine

    Review several concepts, choose a direction, and enhance the result when you are ready.

AI landscape design questions

Do I need four photos?

No. One clear photo is enough to begin. Up to four angles of the same space can provide more context about boundaries and layout.

Will GardenGPT keep my house and existing trees?

You can identify elements that should stay, and the workflow is designed to preserve fixed context. Every generated concept should still be reviewed before you act on it.

Can I use the result as a construction plan?

No. Results are visual concepts for planning and discussion, not measured drawings, engineering advice, permits, or installation instructions.

What image formats can I upload?

The workspace accepts common GPT Image 2 image-to-image formats used by GardenGPT, including JPEG, PNG, and WebP, up to the limits shown at upload.

Your home stays recognizable
