Start with an image
Keep the yard open, connected and purposeful
Explore a general yard where everyday movement and open activity matter more than a dense planting display. Review a proposal that reduces fragmented edges and retains access to gates, doors and existing outbuildings.
What to explore
- Retain one coherent activity area instead of scattered leftover lawn.
- Link the house, gate and shed with necessary circulation.
- Simplify planted edges for a more manageable visual brief.
From a brief to a concept
Set the yard type
Upload the site and choose yard with existing terrain relationships.
Keep the brief practical
Choose family activity or easier upkeep intentions and edit the proposal to remove unnecessary features.
Inspect usable ground
Confirm, generate and compare the size and continuity of open ground visually.
Try a design direction
Suggested brief
Redesign this yard with one continuous central lawn, simple edge planting and a direct path from the house to the existing shed. Retain buildings, trees, gates, boundaries and levels. No pool, fountain or extra structures.
How to review the result
- Is the open area coherent and connected to the places people actually use?
- Compare retained trees, outbuildings and gates with the source before judging simplicity.
What the image cannot establish
- Easier-upkeep appearance does not calculate maintenance time, irrigation or lifetime costs.
- AI cannot validate lawn suitability, drainage or safe play surfaces from a photo.
Questions about this workflow
How is yard different from garden?
Yard emphasizes open activity and necessary routes. Garden emphasizes planted layers and seasonal expression.
Can I keep a shed?
Name it as a keeper and verify its position, door and access after generation.
Will the proposal know my maintenance budget?
No. State the desired level of care yourself; the text proposal is not a cost estimate.
Can it plan a children's play installation?
It can show an activity intention, but equipment clearances and impact surfaces need separate professional checks.
