Start with a written brief
Write the outdoor relationships before choosing the look
Explore a landscape idea when you have a brief but no source photo. Describe the outdoor setting, connections and uses explicitly in the general text generator; this link does not automatically apply a landscape scene preset.
What to explore
- Compare planting-led and activity-led outdoor compositions.
- Build a visual brief connecting an entrance and rest area.
- Explore a consistent paving and planting palette before site-specific design.
From a brief to a concept
Write a spatial brief
Specify open ground, planted edges and connections; replace unrelated example text in the workspace.
Set the presentation
Choose an available ratio and count, checking that any style suggestion still fits an outdoor site.
Compare priorities
Generate and judge one spatial question at a time. Separate images may invent different site geometry.
Try a design direction
Suggested brief
Generate one realistic outdoor landscape concept for a small rectangular site beside a low building. Use continuous layered planting, one clear path between the entrance and a small seat, and an open center. Soft daylight, limited stone and timber, no pool, buildings, people or labels.
How to review the result
- Are the requested destinations and their connections understandable in one view?
- Check that the dominant feature matches the brief instead of an unrelated generated attraction.
What the image cannot establish
- Text generation invents site geometry and does not retain your real land, trees or buildings.
- No survey, drainage, plant suitability, measured dimensions or construction quantities are established.
Questions about this workflow
Is a source photo required?
No. This workflow uses text; use landscape design when you have a real site photo to work from.
Why is the workspace general?
These entries share a text generator. Explicitly state outdoor landscape and replace examples that do not fit.
Can I include a sloping site?
Describe it as context, but the image will not calculate slopes, earthworks or stability.
Can this become a construction brief?
It can support a visual discussion. A measured site plan and professional design are separate requirements.
Bring your own brief
Take a direction into the workspace, adapt it to your project and compare the result against your real constraints.
