Start with an image
Make the route between places easier to follow
A useful pathway connects something: a gate, door, seat or garden area. Start with the existing route photo and identify both ends before considering paving character and edge planting.
What to explore
- Make a gate-to-door connection visually clearer.
- Refine path edges without changing existing ground levels.
- Compare continuous paving with restrained joints or edge bands.
From a brief to a concept
Identify the connections
Upload the site and confirm pathway type; name the endpoints in the instructions.
Review the route proposal
Choose path, planting and terrain settings, then edit the proposal to retain known levels and destinations.
Check continuity
Generate after confirmation and follow the entire visible path, especially behind planting or around bends.
Try a design direction
Suggested brief
Refine the existing path between this gate and door with simple continuous paving and low planted edges. Keep endpoints, tree positions, steps, terrain and camera. Do not invent a shortcut, new stairs or objects in the route.
How to review the result
- Trace the route from end to end and compare every junction and step with the source.
- Judge edge definition in the chosen light without interpreting apparent width as a measurement.
What the image cannot establish
- The image does not verify accessible gradients, slip resistance, drainage or lighting levels.
- AI may smooth terrain or break a path behind plants; preservation must be reviewed.
Questions about this workflow
Can I ask for a curved path?
You can discuss a visual alternative, but check its fit against surveyed levels and real destinations.
Will it calculate a ramp?
No. A ramp requires measured gradients, landings and professional review.
Can it preserve existing steps?
List them explicitly and compare their number and location after generation.
How does this differ from driveway design?
Pathway focuses on walking connections. Driveway also needs vehicle access and separate maneuver checks.
