Keep the outdoor arrival welcoming and legible
This landscape entryway tool concerns the outdoor approach to a door, not an indoor foyer. Explore a small arrival pause, low planting and surface continuity while retaining the threshold and existing steps.
What to explore
- Make a visually cluttered front-door approach easier to understand.
- Compare restrained planters beside the door without blocking it.
- Coordinate the final path section with the existing entrance landing.
From a brief to a concept
Confirm outdoor scope
Upload the exterior entrance photo and select entryway in the landscape designer.
Edit the arrival brief
Choose low planting and path intentions, then revise the proposal to retain door operation and steps.
Check the threshold
Confirm and generate, then compare the last approach and doorway with the original.

Suggested brief
Refine this outdoor entry with two restrained planting groups beside the existing approach. Retain the door, threshold, landing, steps, walls and camera. Leave the door swing and walking route unobstructed. No indoor foyer, new roof or tall hedge.
How to review the result
- Is the door approach clear without invented thresholds or missing steps?
- Check planting scale against the entrance rather than judging it as a separate garden image.
What the image cannot establish
- AI does not verify door swing, accessible access, slip resistance or entry drainage.
- Existing doors and levels may still change; compare each generated view with the source.
Questions about this workflow
Is this an indoor entryway tool?
No. This preset is for outdoor arrival. Use an interior design workflow for a foyer or hallway.
Can I remove the front step?
The workflow is not a threshold reconstruction design. Keep known levels and consult a professional for physical changes.
Can the tool infer how the door opens?
Do not rely on it. Write the swing and clearance needs in the proposal yourself.
How is this different from porch design?
Entryway focuses on outdoor arrival and ground connection. Porch design focuses on the visible covered architectural entrance and its finishes.
