AI Garden Design
Upload a photo of your yard and add your ZIP code. About 30–60 seconds later you get the same space planted — species that survive your winter, spaced for the size they actually reach.
Why choose this AI garden design tool
Plants that live where you live
Your ZIP gives us your USDA hardiness zone, and we only suggest species that come through that zone's winter. This is the one part of the result that is a table lookup rather than a model's guess, so it is the part you can rely on.
Spaced for the size they'll reach
Nursery pots lie about scale. A shrub sold at knee height may want six feet of width in four years, and a bed planted at pot spacing is a bed you thin out twice. The garden design tool spaces each group by its mature spread.
A photo and a plant list
You get the render and the list behind it: species, quantities, mature height, sun requirements. Take that to a nursery and you are buying from a list — an AI garden designer that only outputs an image leaves the hardest step undone.
How to use the garden planner in three steps
- 1
Photograph the space
One daylight shot of the bed or yard from where you usually stand. Include the house wall or fence if there is one — it sets the scale.
- 2
Add your ZIP and bed size
The ZIP sets your hardiness zone. Width, depth and available sun decide how many plants fit and which of them will thrive there.
- 3
Take the list shopping
Out comes the planted render and the species list behind it. Change the sun setting or the bed size and run it again.
AI garden design FAQ
Is it free?
Free to start — new accounts arrive with enough credits for a few beds. You sign in before the first run so results are saved to an account that belongs to you.
How do you know what survives my winter?
Your ZIP maps to a USDA hardiness zone, and every species in our library is tagged with the zones it tolerates plus its sun requirement. We filter on both before anything is drawn.
How many plants will I need?
Quantities come per group, calculated from mature spread against the bed dimensions you entered. The number is usually lower than it looks in a nursery.
Is it realistic enough to show a landscaper?
As a brief, yes — species, quantities and spacing are all things a contractor can quote against, and the render tells them the look you are after. It is not a planting plan drawn to scale, so expect them to adjust it against what they find on site.
Is this the same as AI landscape design?
Overlapping, not identical. Landscape design covers grading, drainage and hardscape; this is the planting layer of it — what goes in the ground, how far apart, and how many.
Does it handle hardscaping or drainage?
No. This is planting design: species, spacing, quantities. Paths, patios, retaining walls and anything involving water or slope need a landscape contractor.
What if something I plant dies?
We filter on hardiness zone and sun, which rules out the common way a bed fails — the wrong plant for the winter. It cannot account for your soil, drainage or what the deer eat, and nothing here is a guarantee. Buy from a nursery that warranties its stock.
