Visualize outdoor spaces anywhere in the world, before the work begins.
One property photo becomes an editable landscape concept — for homeowners deciding what they want, and the professionals who build it.
$29 starter pack gets you 9 concept designs, 3 presentation boards and 3 planning budgets.
The self-serve web app is live. Mark the area to change, choose the design settings and review the credit cost before generating. One property, one camera position: the concept is rendered onto the same photograph.
One shared vision, two ways in
Same concept file, two jobs. Backyard design AI for homeowners deciding what they want, and a working document for the professional who turns it into work they can price and build.
For homeowners
Upload your property, compare directions, adjust the details, and hand a contractor a visual brief instead of a Pinterest board.
For landscape professionals
Build concepts from site photos, collect precise feedback, carry quantities forward, and present a proposal the client already agrees with.
From possibility to buildable direction
Shoot the yard from eye level — or fly it. The house, drive, and grade stay where they are, and the design goes on top, so the concept looks like the actual property.
Move, rotate, replace, or delete the actual elements — steps, wall, lighting — and pin a note where it belongs. You get an edit, not a riddle.
Materials, square footage, and plant counts stay attached to the design. Toggle the fire pit and the quantities move with it.
01 / CAPTURE
Phone photo or drone still. Grade, drainage, and existing trees stay grounded in reality.
02 / DIRECT
Pick a direction, set priorities, and mark what you want changed or preserved.
03 / GENERATE
The concept renders in the original frame, with plants and materials attached.
04 / SHARE
One link for edits, notes, and next steps. Homeowner and pro stay aligned.
Presentation Board · 5 credits
Add the original property, finished concept, conceptual site plan, design direction, materials, and concept quantities to one saved presentation.
Ready to present
Create the board from a completed design for 5 credits. It stays with the project so you can reopen, download, and share it without another creation charge.
Visualization categories
Full backyard schemes, patios, surfaces from drives to epoxy floors, retaining walls and grade changes, plantings, lawns and flowerbeds, night lighting, fencing, and courts through Backyard Sports Center™. Each has its own page, and all of them happen inside one before-and-after concept of your own property.
Settle the layout and the paver pattern before a single cut.
Preview the night scene, which is when the yard actually gets used.
Fit a real court to the yard at true scale, not by guesswork. Now with automatic before-and-after transitions.
Solve the grade change and see the wall height in place.
See terrace, lawn, planting and water resolved as one place.
Drives, walks, steps, parking and epoxy floors — material and pattern first.
Test height and screening before you commit to the line.
Check how bed lines, lawn shape and planting mass read.
A mix of Landforms project photography and AI concept visualizations, each labelled. Every category shows a different property. Categories describe what the concept covers — there are no separate category pages yet.

This sample editor illustrates the broader collaboration and estimating direction. For the current live generation sequence, see the five-step design process.
Site photo — aerial frame, existing conditions

Drop in phone shots or drone stills. Keep the client's eye level for the sell.
Grade and drainage notes carry into every version.
Presets are starting points — every material stays editable.
Zones for this sample: pool deck, seat walls, beds, lighting, court pad.
Versions stack, so the first concept never gets overwritten.
Notes pin to coordinates, so nothing gets lost in a thread.

Product preview · planned
72 of 100 credits
A labelled mockup of the planned meter with sample numbers — it does not count anything on this page. Each AI generation or revision spends credits, and the exact cost is shown before you confirm.
Backyard sports centers
Fit, orientation, surface colour, fencing, and lighting — decided on screen while the family is still standing in the yard. See the Backyard Sports Center™ before-and-after concepts, and the dusk lighting pair now lives on the night lighting page.
The version most families actually use. One surface, striped for pickleball first, then whatever else the kids drag out — so a tight lot still gets a court instead of a compromise.
Half-court fits most side yards without eating the lawn. Neutral grey reads calm from the kitchen window, and the client can see how close the pad sits to the patio before anyone pours.
A full court is a grading conversation as much as a surface one. Drop it into the photo and the homeowner sees the fence height, the apron, and how much tree line has to come out — before anyone signs.
Who is behind it
PlotVisionAI comes out of Landforms Design Inc, the landscape design and build company Darin Chamberlin founded in February 1995. Darin is the owner and lead designer, with more than 42 years in horticulture and landscape construction — the majority of it spent on the same properties he was drawing, which is a different education than drawing alone.
That background is the reason this tool behaves the way it does. A concept has to survive the parts of the job nobody photographs: how water leaves the site, whether a wall wants a step or a curve, what a fixture actually does to a maple at ten at night, how much room a court really needs once you add the fence and the run-off. Renderings that ignore those things create arguments later. The point here is to put the decision in front of everyone early, while it is still cheap to change.
The reference photos and concepts on this page are Landforms work and Landforms properties. Nothing here is a stock library, and no client project is shown without permission.

Project stories
We publish real project photography and community work rather than invented testimonials. If you have a before and after worth looking at — whether Landforms built it or you did it yourself — send it in and we will consider featuring it here with your name on it.
A before photo taken from roughly the same spot as the after, a note about what changed, and what you would tell someone starting the same project. Drone shots are welcome but a phone photo from an upstairs window works.
Every submission is read by a person. Nothing gets published without your written permission, and we will show you the layout before it goes live. You can withdraw a story at any time by replying to the same email thread.
We will not edit your words into a marketing quote, use your address, or pass your details to anyone else. If a story is used, credit is however you ask for it — full name, first name, or “a homeowner, name withheld.”
Questions worth asking early
Software, with a design company behind it. You supply the photo and the direction; the tool produces the concept and keeps it editable. It works on a property anywhere in the world. If you want someone to build what you end up with, nothing about the tool requires you to hire us — use the concept to brief whoever you like.
It is accurate about position, scale and relationship — where a patio sits, how much lawn is left, whether a court fits with clearance. It is not a construction document. Material thickness, base depth, drainage detail and structural design still have to be engineered by a human, and quantities shown in the editor are sample data while that logic is being built.
It is used to generate your concept and nothing else. Your property is never published as an example unless you specifically ask us to feature it and confirm it in writing. There is no advertising network on this page. Google Analytics 4 records page views so we can see which pages are useful; it is not used for ads.
No, and it is not trying to. It replaces the part of your week that gets spent talking a client out of something they cannot picture, or redrawing after a walk-through. You keep control of the plan; the tool just makes the conversation visual enough that fewer decisions get reopened at install.
A targeted concept uses 1 credit, a full redesign in one specialist category uses 2 credits, a Full Backyard redesign uses 3 credits, and a Presentation Board uses 5 credits.
