### 2/5 — Ai slop

*2026-08-07*

App needs work. Output is random ai slop

### 5/5 — Gave me the plant list, not just a pretty render

*2026-08-03*

Most AI landscape design apps stop at a pretty picture. I uploaded a photo of my backyard, said what I wanted, and got a redesign plus the plants that would actually survive where they were planted, quantities I’d need to get that look, and a shopping list with prices. Whoa!

It turned "this would look nice" into something I could take to a garden center. I didn't know what grows in shade and what looks good where before. Now I do.

### 5/5 — Caught $10K mistake before I made it

*2026-07-29*

I live in Boston. I was about to buy plants for my development property and had no idea some of what I wanted is banned in Massachusetts. YardPlan flagged Japanese barberry before I bought it. That was a $10K mistake I caught instead of made.

Got a plan for my actual zone, then iterated a few styles fast enough to see how the front yard and garden would really look. I went in with decision anxiety and came out knowing what to buy

### 5/5 — Handy plant picks based on zone body

*2026-07-24*

Made my research so easy by providing plant options based on my zone and took the guesswork out and gave me a quick, doable list for updating my front yard

### 5/5 — Fun to use with a real plan of execution & cost

*2026-07-24*

Easy to navigate and it customized the plant list which made brainstorming a fresh look for my backyard enjoyable. Thanks to cost breakdown and execution hours, I know exactly what I’m signing up for!

### 5/5 — Great editing features

*2026-07-24*

What sold me is the editing tbh. I asked it to swap the flowers for rocks, and it brought my exact plants back like it remembered the whole thing, crazy.

### 5/5 — Good for quick backyard ideas

*2026-07-24*

Tried the app with a few outdoor options for my backyard and the results were amazing. I would recommend this app for anyone looking to quickly visualize a DIY project for their backyard.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-21*

Great app for virtually change and try new ideas on your backyards and garden
