How it works
One photo in. A whole new landscape out.
Snap one photo of the front of your house. YardCast's AI designs a whole new landscape on your real home, checks it, and gives you the plan to build it. Your house stays exactly as it is.

The AI, step by step.
- 01It reads your photoOne shot from the curb. Nothing to measure, nothing to draw. The AI scans the whole frame: the house, the walks, the drive, the lawn and the old beds.
- 02It finds the bedsIt maps your house, the drive and the old beds. The house, walks and drive are locked. They never change.
- 03It plans the new bedsNew bed shapes designed for your house, or your current shapes if you pick that. A Design Pack gives you both. Then a back, middle and front layer of plants picked for your sun, your house and your answers.
- 04It renders it on your photoEvery old plant is replaced, and the new design is drawn onto your real photo: your house, your light.
- 05It checks its own workA second AI pass checks every design before you see it. One that fails is held back, never sent, and it doesn't use up your pack.
- 06You get the planThe picture, plus everything you need to build it yourself or hand it to a crew.
What you get
Love the picture? Here's the plan.
Every Design Pack turns the AI design into a plan you can build yourself or hand to a crew.
Both bed options
One design on your photo in two versions: your bed's current shape with all-new plants, or a new bed shape designed for your house.
Every plant, on a card
Size, sun, bloom time and care for each plant in the design, with how many to buy.
Install weekends, in order
The work split into weekends: clear and edge, the backbone shrubs, the middle layer, then color and mulch.
A 12-month care calendar
One short job a month, written for your plants.
A PDF for you or your crew
Plan, plant list, weekends and care. Print it, or hand it to a landscaper for a quote.
One free redo
Tell us what to change, like more color, no grasses, or lower by the window, and we re-render your design with your notes.
The quality check
Every design is checked before you see it.
- Your house is unchanged
- Walks and the drive are unchanged
- The whole old bed is replaced
- It looks real, not AI-made
- The plants fit your sun
A design that fails is held back and never shown, and it doesn't use up your pack.

Questions
Good questions.
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 beds change. (The showcase examples on this site go a step further: they also show a fresh lawn, and on a few a new walk.)
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 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 shape: a new one, or your current one 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.
Is there a free preview?
The photo check and the quick questions 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.
Do I need the iPhone 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.
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.
Your turn
