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.
