AI Front Yard Makeover

AI Front Yard Makeover turns a photo of your property into personalized exterior and landscaping concepts. Start with the yard you already have, tell the app what you want to improve and what should stay untouched, then explore an AI-generated makeover built around those choices. MAKE A STRONGER FIRST IMPRESSION Whether you want a cleaner entrance, refreshed landscaping, a more inviting walkway, better greenery, or an entirely new front-yard character, begin with one photo of your existing space. DESIGN AROUND YOUR PRIORITIES Instead of applying a random preset, build a makeover brief around the parts of the property that matter to you. Choose focus areas such as: • Entire Front Yard • Landscaping • Entrance • Walkway • Greenery • Lighting • Driveway Then select the overall style and mood you want the redesign to follow. KEEP WHAT ALREADY WORKS A makeover does not have to replace everything. Specify areas or existing elements that should remain unchanged so your AI concept can focus on the improvements you actually want to explore. MATCH YOUR GREENERY & MAINTENANCE PREFERENCES Choose the type of greenery you prefer and how much ongoing maintenance you want the concept to consider. This makes it easier to explore designs that better match the character and practical needs of your outdoor space. CHOOSE HOW FAR TO TRANSFORM Looking for a subtle refresh rather than a complete redesign? Select your preferred transformation intensity and add optional details to shape how dramatic or restrained the final concept should feel. REVIEW THE PLAN FIRST Before generation, review the makeover direction and design choices you selected. You remain in control of the brief before your property photo is processed. COMPARE THE TRANSFORMATION See your original yard alongside the generated makeover with an interactive before-and-after comparison. Open the result in fullscreen, save it to Photos, or share the concept directly from the app. REFINE WITHOUT STARTING OVER Want to explore another direction? Refine the existing makeover or create a new style variation while keeping the same property as your starting point. BUILD A COLLECTION OF IDEAS Generated makeovers can be stored as Projects with multiple versions, making it easier to revisit ideas, rename projects, compare alternatives, and remove concepts you no longer need. PREMIUM ACCESS Premium provides up to 10 AI makeover generations per day while the subscription is active. U.S. PRICING: Weekly Premium — $4.99/week Monthly Premium — $14.99/month Yearly Premium — $34.99/year 5 AI Generation Tokens — $0.99 one-time purchase The 5-token pack provides 5 AI generation credits.

AI PROCESSING To create a makeover, the app sends the property photo selected by the user together with the chosen design instructions to an AI processing service. The app asks for permission before the photo is submitted for AI processing. AI-generated makeovers are visual concepts intended for inspiration and planning exploration. They are not architectural, engineering, landscaping-construction, surveying, property-boundary, or professional building plans. Real-world results may vary. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled through your Apple Account settings.
