Start with an image
Give your backyard a clearer purpose
Start with your existing backyard photo to explore seating, planting and family activity areas. Review an editable concept brief before generating an image; the brief is assembled from your choices, not an automatic survey of the photograph.
What to explore
- Compare a quiet seating corner with a larger open play area.
- Explore planting along a boundary without hiding the back door.
- Discuss how an outdoor dining spot connects to the house.
From a brief to a concept
Establish the site
Upload the backyard as the source and confirm the backyard type. Optional reference images guide materials or atmosphere, not the site layout.
Edit the proposal
Choose style, lighting, terrain, elements and intended uses. Read the proposed text and remove unwanted features before applying any adjustments.
Generate and compare
Submit the confirmed proposal, then compare the image with the original. Check routes and boundaries before refining one part of the brief.
Try a design direction
Suggested brief
Redesign this same backyard with an open central lawn and a small seating area beside the existing fence. Retain the house, back door, mature tree, camera and visible levels. Add layered border planting without blocking the route from the door. No new buildings, pool, people or text.
How to review the result
- Trace a continuous route from the back door to each activity area; visual clearance does not prove a measured accessible route.
- Compare fences, trees, structures and levels with the source before judging the new styling.
What the image cannot establish
- Requests to retain the site are guidance. AI can redraw boundaries, buildings or slopes.
- Images do not verify soil, drainage, plant suitability, costs or construction dimensions; a local professional must check implementation.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need a backyard photo?
Yes. This workflow edits an existing site image. Use the backyard generator if you want a concept from words without a source photo.
Does the proposal read my site conditions?
No. It assembles your selected settings and written requirements into editable text. Add the actual conditions yourself before generating.
Can I keep a tree and change only the seating?
Name the tree and other keepers explicitly, then focus the brief on furniture. Review the whole image because preservation is not guaranteed.
Is this a backyard layout drawing?
It is a visual concept, not a measured plan or drainage design. Use a surveyed plan and professional advice for construction.
