Design type — plantings, lawns & flowerbeds
Planting, lawn and flowerbed concepts, at the size they will actually be.
Plants are sold small and drawn as circles. Neither tells you what the bed looks like from the patio in three years. PlotVisionAI™ renders bed lines, lawn shape and planting mass into a photograph of your yard so the composition is judged as a picture, not as a legend.
What a planting concept settles
Bed lines and mass, before plant lists.
The two things that make a planted yard look designed are the shape of the lawn and the depth of the beds. Both are free to change on a picture and expensive to change in the ground. PlotVisionAI is used by homeowners and landscape professionals worldwide, and it works on any property you can photograph — anywhere in the world.
Lawn shape is the design
A lawn reads as a shape, and the beds are what is left over. Testing a wide sweeping edge against a tight geometric one on your own yard changes the whole character of the property, and it costs nothing at concept stage.
Bed depth and layering
Shallow beds against a house always look like an afterthought. A concept shows how deep the bed has to be before the layering — low perennials, mid shrubs, tall anchors — actually has room to work.
Seasons and maturity
A concept is a picture of intent at a chosen moment. Ask for a summer frame and an autumn frame, or a planting-day frame and a settled-in frame, and it becomes obvious which parts of the scheme are carrying the design and which are filler.
Edges to hard surfaces
Where planting meets a terrace, a wall or a fence line is where most gardens look unfinished. Those junctions are worth drawing deliberately.
What a planting concept does not decide
A visualization is not a horticultural specification. It does not choose species for your hardiness zone, soil pH, drainage or exposure, and it does not guarantee that a plant drawn in a frame will thrive on that side of your house. Sun, soil, deer pressure, mature spread and maintenance load are decisions for a designer, a nursery or a contractor who can stand in the yard.
Use the concept for composition — bed lines, lawn shape, planting mass, colour placement — then have the plant list built against local conditions. Lighting the finished beds is covered on the night lighting page.
