Straight answers about the app, credits and landscape concepts.
What PlotVisionAI™ does today, what it does not do, how credits and checkout work, and where a concept stops and a contractor starts.
Questions
Fourteen things people ask first.
What is PlotVisionAI?
An AI landscape visualization and concept design tool. You give it a photo of a real property, say what you want changed, and it renders a concept inside that same frame so a before and after line up. It is built by Landforms Design Inc, a landscape design-build company, and it works on a property anywhere in the world.
Can I create an account and generate a concept today?
Yes. The self-serve web app is live at getplotvisionai.com with Google sign-in, saved projects and credit-based concept generation. Native App Store and Google Play versions are planned.
How do credits work?
Every plan includes a set number of credits rather than unlimited use. 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. The exact cost is shown before confirmation. Packs are product-only: concepts, presentation boards, and planning budgets. The $29 Starter Pack gets you 9 concept designs, 3 presentation boards and 3 planning budgets. The 3 Project Trial is $59 (Starter Pack ×3) and the 5 Project Trial is $99 (Starter Pack ×5). Need more concepts after a pack? Buy credits in the app.
What does it cost?
The $29 Starter Pack gets you 9 concept designs, 3 presentation boards and 3 planning budgets. The 3 Project Trial is $59 (Starter Pack ×3) and the 5 Project Trial is $99 (Starter Pack ×5). Need more concepts after a pack? Buy credits in the app. Expert Design is $350 if you want Landforms to design it for you. Corporate team plans start at $299 a month.
Do unused monthly credits roll over?
Individual plans do not currently promise rollover of unused monthly credits. Contracted corporate team plans use the allowance and rollover terms written into their agreement.
Is checkout secure?
Payments are handled by Stripe on Stripe’s own hosted checkout page. Card details are never entered on this site and this site does not store payment information. Note that Stripe checkout will not open inside an embedded preview frame, so those buttons open a new tab.
What kind of photo should I send?
A phone photo taken at eye level from where you actually stand and look at the yard. Two or three angles is plenty. Drone stills work too, and are useful for layout questions like whether a court will crowd a pool.
Are the before and after images the same property?
Yes. Every pair on this site holds the property still — same house, same camera position, same light — and changes only the thing being decided. Images that were generated rather than photographed are labelled “AI concept visualization”.
Can a concept be used for permits or construction?
No. A concept settles layout, materials, sight lines and what the household agrees on. It does not settle base depth, drainage engineering, footings, structural wall design, code, setbacks or permits, and it is not a binding price. A licensed contractor still prices and builds the work.
What can I visualize?
Eight categories inside one concept of your property: full backyard schemes, patios and outdoor living, surfaces from driveways to epoxy floors, retaining walls and grade changes, plantings, lawns and flowerbeds, night lighting, fencing, and courts through Backyard Sports Center™. Surfaces covers driveway replacement, widening, resurfacing and overlays, stamped and decorative concrete, pavers, walks, steps, curbs, aprons, parking areas and epoxy floor coatings for garages, workshops, basements and commercial floors.
Do you build the projects too?
PlotVisionAI is a visualization tool, not a construction service, and it can be used on a property anywhere in the world. Landforms Design Inc, the company behind it, does build landscape projects — Darin Chamberlin has worked in landscaping since 1984 and founded the company in February 1995 — but that construction work is a separate, regional business. Take your concept to any contractor you trust.
Who owns the concepts I generate?
You do, for your own project and your own client work. We do not sell your images or attach your property to marketing without asking you first, in writing.
Will my contractor take a concept seriously?
In our experience a picture of the actual yard with notes on it produces a tighter bid than a folder of screenshots from other people’s properties, because two bidders are pricing the same picture.
How do I contact you for Expert Design or Corporate?
