Site Concept Options for Client Review
Use the same site image and brief to compare early options for planting density, hardscape direction, circulation, lighting, and retained site constraints before detailed design.
How AI Landscape Design Works
Start with an outdoor image. Set the landscape direction, describe existing site constraints, then compare several early concepts.
Step 01
Upload Your Site Image
Upload a site photo, outdoor sketch, or render that clearly shows the space, building edge, access points, and major features you want the concept to respect.
Step 02
Set the Landscape Direction
Choose the landscape type and style. Add notes about planting, hardscape, seating, privacy, lighting, and circulation.
Step 03
Define What Should Stay
List the trees, paths, slopes, fences, structures, access routes, and site edges that should remain.
Step 04
Generate and Compare Options
Create several directions from the same site image and brief. Compare planting, materials, paths, activity areas, privacy, and lighting before choosing an option for review.

Features for Landscape Concepts
Use site images, landscape controls, references, and design notes to create early outdoor concepts. Compare several options while keeping site limits clear.
Site Photo and Reference Inputs
Start with a site photo, outdoor sketch, render, or reference image. Use a clear view of the space you want to explore.
Useful for gardens, yards, patios, rooftops, campuses, and other outdoor spaces.
Try a site photo
Landscape Type and Style Controls
Choose the outdoor area first, then choose a landscape style. This helps the AI understand both the space and the visual direction.
Useful when the same site photo could become a garden, patio, front yard, backyard, or broader landscape concept.
Choose landscape style
Planting and Hardscape Direction
Guide planting character, path and paving materials, surface transitions, seating edges, circulation, and the relationship between softscape and hardscape.
Useful when comparing the main planting and material direction for a site.
Choose landscape elements
Outdoor Use, Privacy, and Lighting
Describe activity areas, circulation, seating, privacy, and lighting needs. Add references when a material or mood matters.
Useful when the concept must support how people move through and use the outdoor space.
Add references and notes
Preservation Notes for Site Elements
Add instructions to keep existing trees, paths, slopes, fences, structures, access routes, and site edges visible.
Generated concepts may still alter details. Review each option against the original site, current measurements, and available survey information.
Compare options
Comparable Options for Client Review
Generate several directions from the same site image and brief. Compare them before selecting an option for review.
Useful for early planning, client presentations, and team discussions before detailed design begins.

How do I create landscape concepts from a site photo?
Upload a yard, garden, patio, rooftop, campus, sketch, render, or reference image. Choose the landscape type and style. Then describe the planting, hardscape, seating, privacy, lighting, and circulation you want to explore.
How can I compare landscape options for client review?
Keep the same site image and project brief. Generate several directions and compare planting density, materials, paths, activity areas, privacy, and lighting. Select the clearest option for presentation or further design review.
How do I tell ArchOne AI which site elements should remain?
List the trees, paths, slopes, fences, structures, access routes, and site edges that should remain. Generated concepts may still alter details. Check every option against the original site and current survey information.
What should I look for in an AI landscape design tool?
Look for support for real site images, planting and hardscape direction, preservation notes, comparable options, and clear professional boundaries. ArchOne AI is suitable for early landscape concepts and client review. Use landscape CAD, planting, grading, drainage, or construction tools when you need measured or technical plans.
Is there a free AI tool for landscape design?
Yes. ArchOne AI includes free credits so you can try AI landscape design after signing in. Generating images uses credits, and your results can stay connected to your workspace. Paid plans or credit packs are available when you need more landscape design options.
What happens to my uploaded yard or site photos?
Uploaded yard and site photos are used to create the landscape design concepts you request and may be saved with your generated results in your workspace. Avoid uploading images with visible addresses, license plates, faces, children, private boundaries, or sensitive site details.
What should I write in an AI landscape design prompt?
Mention the outdoor space type, mood, planting density, hardscape materials, and what should stay unchanged. Add paths, seating, lighting, and maintenance goals when they matter. For example: preserve the patio edge, add layered planting, keep circulation clear, and create a warm evening option.
Can AI suggest plants for my landscape design?
AI can help visualize planting character, density, texture, seasonal mood, and low-maintenance planting direction. Use it to compare tree massing, shrubs, perennials, ground cover, and garden layers. Exact species should still be checked for climate, sunlight, soil, water use, maintenance, local availability, and site conditions.
Are AI landscape designs accurate enough for construction?
No. Treat AI landscape images as concept visuals, not construction documents. Grading, drainage, accessibility, utilities, and permits still need professional verification. So do planting specifications, budgets, and installation details.
What is the difference between AI landscape design, yard design, and backyard design?
AI landscape design is the broad site-level workflow for planting character, hardscape, circulation, lighting, and overall spatial concepts. AI yard design focuses on front yards, side yards, entries, curb appeal, and general yard-photo workflows. AI backyard design focuses on patios, decks, pool edges, fire pits, privacy, and outdoor-living concepts.
