Contractor-ready planning

Turn a good idea into a brief a contractor can price

Many tools stop at a render. Yard Plan AI should help homeowners clarify scope, material direction, budget assumptions, and next steps before they contact a contractor.

Scope summary

The area, goal, style, budget tier, and site risks are written in one contractor-friendly block.

Materials and plant direction

Plants, hardscape, lighting, mulch, edging, and finishes are separated so estimates are easier to compare.

Questions before hiring

Drainage, grading, utilities, irrigation, access, and permit assumptions are called out before money is spent.

DIY vs. pro phases

Weekend tasks are separated from work that may need equipment, site verification, or a licensed pro.

Estimate cost before you plan

Understand the budget tier before choosing the project scope

These pages give users budget ranges first, then route them into the real-photo report workflow.

Planning questions for this project

Is the AI landscape design preview really free?

Yes. You can create a free preview first. The paid Design Pack is optional and is meant for users who want a fuller saved report, higher-resolution visual direction, and contractor-friendly notes.

What should I upload for the best free preview?

Use a clear daytime photo that shows the actual area you want to improve, such as a front yard, backyard, patio, garden bed, or fence line.

What does the paid report add after the free preview?

The paid path is designed for a more complete plan with shopping-list direction, contractor brief, phased tasks, PDF-ready output, and saved high-resolution visual concepts.
