What should the yard become?
Redesign this backyard as a modern outdoor lounge: large-format stone pavers, a low sectional around a linear fire pit, raised planters with ornamental grasses, and string lights overhead. Keep the house and fence line where they are.

Straight answers
What it is, and what it isn’t
A landscape render is a direction-finding tool. It answers “would I like my yard like this?” in seconds, for free, before anyone quotes you for hardscape.
- It keeps your yard. House, fence line, grade, mature trees and camera angle stay where they are, so you are comparing designs — not a different property.
- It’s free to start. New accounts get credits to design your own photos, no card needed.
- It’s fast enough to iterate. Seven to ten seconds a render means you try five directions instead of committing to the first one.
- It is not a planting plan. No hardiness zones, no sun mapping, no drainage or root-spread checks — take the render to a nursery or a landscaper before anything goes in the ground.
- It is not a quote. A render will not tell you what the patio or the planting costs. It will tell you which design is worth pricing.
Questions
AI landscape design, answered
Is the AI landscape design free?
Yes. New accounts get free credits to design your own yard photos with no card, and the free tier stays available after that. Pro unlocks higher volume, higher-resolution downloads and unwatermarked exports. Every before and after on this page was produced on the same engine you get for free.
Can AI design my actual yard from a photo?
That is exactly what this does. Photograph your yard from where you are standing, say what you want in plain English, and Renovate AI renders that design into your photo — same fence, same house, same camera angle. It is your yard, not a catalog picture of someone else’s.
Does it work for backyards as well as front yards?
Both. The backyard examples above are one real homeowner’s patio redesigned three ways, and the front yard examples are a real brick ranch. Backyards, front yards, side yards, garden beds, patios and driveways all work from a single photo.
Is there an AI garden design app?
Yes. Renovate AI runs on iPhone and Android as well as in the browser, so you can stand in the yard, photograph it and redesign it on the spot. The same account and the same renders follow you across every device.
How accurate is the AI landscape design?
The render keeps your yard — house, fence line, grade, mature trees and camera angle stay put — so you are judging the design and not a different property. Treat it as a photorealistic preview for choosing a direction, not as a planting plan. It will not check whether a plant survives your zone, so run the shortlist past a nursery or a landscaper.
How long does a landscape render take?
Seconds. The renders on this page took 7 to 10 seconds each, measured end to end. You can run three styles on the same yard photo and compare them side by side in under a minute.
Can it show me what my yard looks like with less lawn?
Yes, and it is one of the most common things people ask it for. Say "replace the lawn with prairie grasses and a gravel path" or "convert the front lawn into raised vegetable beds" and it renders that on your ground. The garden examples above are exactly that — one lawn, three replacements.
