AI Garden & Landscape Design — redesign your yard from one photo

A tool that redesigns a photo of your yard or garden — new beds, paths, patio, seating and plants — from a text prompt, so you can see an idea in your own space before you hire anyone or buy anything. On Kenerate AI you upload the photo to Seedream 5.0 Pro, name the style and say what must stay, such as the house, fence and trees. Landscape design covers the whole plan — hardscape such as patios, paths and walls, plus planting, lawn and lighting — and garden design usually means the planting; the workflow here is the same for both.

Yes, as a picture. In our test Seedream 5.0 Pro turned one plain backyard into a cottage garden, a Japanese garden and a xeriscape, and kept the house, door, fence and tree each time. It gives you a concept image, not a measured plan or a plant list, so use it to choose a direction and then plan the details.

You can start free. A new Kenerate account gets 25 starter credits, and Qwen Image 3.0 is on the free plan for quick drafts. Seedream 5.0 Pro, which made the gardens on this page, costs 13.5 credits per edit at 1K from one-time credit packs — no subscription. Downloads have no watermark.

Yes. Photograph the front of the house from the street or the pavement, and ask to keep the house, driveway and windows the same while you change the lawn, beds, path and lighting. Name what should stay visible, such as the front door and house number, so the model doesn't hide them behind planting.

Any style you can describe. We tested cottage, Japanese and xeriscape here; Mediterranean (gravel, olive, lavender, terracotta), modern minimalist (clean lines, large pavers, grasses), tropical, wildflower meadow, kitchen garden with raised beds and a family lawn with play space all work as prompts. Name three or four concrete elements, not just the style word.

Not necessarily — an image model picks plants for the look, not for your climate. Check every plant against your hardiness zone (in the US, the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map), your sun and shade, soil and rainfall, or ask a local nursery. You can also name plants you know grow well in the prompt. The 2023 USDA map is based on the average annual extreme minimum winter temperature and can be searched by ZIP code, so it covers winter cold only; EPA WaterSense recommends plants defined as low water use or drought tolerant for your area.

Yes, as a concept: ask for a xeriscape or a low-water garden and name the materials — gravel or decomposed granite, flagstone, ornamental grasses, succulents, lavender, rosemary — as in our example above. Then confirm the plants suit your region; drought-tolerant in one climate can be thirsty in another.

Yes. Add photos of the real pieces as extra references with your yard photo and say where they go — Nano Banana 2.1 takes up to 14 reference images, Seedream 5.0 Pro up to 10. Check the scale against the real space: AI may draw a chair or planter bigger or smaller than it is.

It can show them. Name the material and shape — “square bluestone patio by the door, curved gravel path with steel edging, low stone seat wall” — and keep the house, fence and trees the same. It can't see slope, drainage or what's under the ground, so treat any wall, step or raised deck as an idea: check local permit rules and ask a contractor or engineer before building, and call 811 before digging in the US.

No — it is a fast way to explore ideas, not a design service. It doesn't measure the site, check drainage, levels, soil or utilities, or produce a planting plan. Use it to decide what you like, then take the images to a designer or garden centre. In the US, call 811 before digging so buried utility lines are marked.
