AI landscape design · web + app
AI landscape design, on your real house.
Free: the photo check and three quick questions. Your design: $29.99, both bed options plus one free redo.
Take one photo from the curb. YardCast's AI designs a new landscape around your actual home and shows it grown in. Your house stays exactly as it is.
Nothing to measure. Nothing to draw.
Keep your bed's shape, or try a new one.
Tell us what to change. We re-render it.
One short job a month, for your plants.
Watch the AI work
One photo in. A new landscape out.
A real photo of a real house, and the YardCast design made from it. Scroll through the same six steps your photo takes.
- 01
It reads your photo
One shot from the curb. The AI looks over the whole frame: the house, the light, the lawn, what's planted now.
- 02
It finds the beds
It maps the house, the drive and the old beds. The house and drive are locked. They never change.
- 03
It plans the new beds
New bed shapes (or your old ones, if you pick that), then a back, middle and front layer of plants picked for your sun and your answers.
- 04
It renders it on your photo
Every old plant is replaced, and the new design is drawn onto your real photo. Your house, your light, your angle.
- 05
It checks its own work
A second AI pass checks every design. One that fails is held back and redone, never sent.
- 06
You compare

YardCast design examples: AI visualizations on real photos, not installed results. The house stays as it is. Yards are shown at peak summer, about two years after planting, in golden-hour light. These examples also show a fresh lawn and, on a few, a new walk.

Question 1 of 3

Pick a look. Fling right to keep, left to pass.
What should the bed do for you?
Pick up to two.

Good questions.
How does the AI design my yard?
It works in steps on your own photo. It finds your house, walks and the old bed. It clears every old plant and the old bed. It lays out a new bed, either a new shape or your old shape, and picks plants for your sun, your house and your answers. Then it renders those plants onto your photo, and a second AI pass checks the result before you ever see it.
Is it really my house?
Yes. The design is drawn on the photo you take. Your house, walks, drive and big trees are locked, so they stay exactly as they are. Only the planting bed changes. (The showcase examples on this page go a step further: they also show a fresh lawn, and on a few a new walk.)
What if the AI design looks bad?
Every design goes through a quality check first: house unchanged, the whole bed replaced, nothing that looks fake. A design that fails is held back and never shown, and it doesn't use up your pack. If you still want changes, every pack includes one free redo with your notes.
Will my yard really look like this?
The images are AI visualizations of a plan, not photos of an installed yard. The plan behind them is real: real plants, real spacing, real weekends. The examples on this page show each yard at peak summer, about two years after planting, in golden-hour light.
Does it keep any of my current plants?
No. Every design clears the whole bed and installs a whole new landscape, so every plant works with the others. You choose the bed: a new shape designed for your house, or your current shape with all-new plants. A Design Pack gives you both.
What photo works best?
Stand at the curb or the end of the driveway and get the front of the house with the whole bed in the frame. Daylight is best. Your phone's normal camera is perfect. We check sharpness, framing and light right on this page before anything uploads.
Is there a free preview?
The photo check and the three questions on this page are free. The design itself comes with a Design Pack: $29.99, one time, on this website. Each design costs real AI time to make, so every one is paid, and every pack includes one free redo.
What's in the $29.99 Design Pack?
One AI design on your photo in both bed options, a drawn site plan, every plant with its own card, the install weekends in order, a 12-month care calendar and a PDF you can print or hand to a crew. Plus one free redo. You pay on this website with Stripe checkout.
Do I need the app?
No. The Design Pack works right here on the website. YardCast Plus ($39.99 a month or $299.99 a year) will live in the iPhone app, which is coming soon. Leave your email under Get the app and we'll tell you when it's out.
What does "costs a render" mean?
Some changes need a brand-new AI image, like a different style on the same photo. Those are labeled before you tap them. Night and winter views are simulated on your photo and don't need a new render.
