Get this garden →How it designs your garden
Hiring a designer usually starts with a visit and a wait. This starts with a photo of your garden, so you can see a design tonight, and you don't need to know the name of a single plant.
Add a photo, and choose what to design
One photo from your phone is all it takes. Redesign the planting around the paths and paving you have, or the whole space with a new layout and paths.
Choose the look
Pick one of 15 styles and a colour scheme, then ask for anything you want, like "add a wildlife pond". Or tap Get this garden on any garden on this page.

Why not a garden designer?
Save over £1,900. The average UK garden design costs £1,950.
A designer can visit, measure and oversee the build. When you want that, bring the look you found here.
Garden designer or app: what you get
What a designer does, what this does, what each costs, and when you still want a designer.
The work a garden designer does, from a photo
Hiring a garden designer means a visit, a wait, and often a bill of well over £1,000. Most of what you are paying for is judgement: what to plant, where it goes, how to grade the heights, how to keep colour through the seasons. That judgement is exactly what this gives you: a garden designer in your pocket, working from a photo of your own garden. You upload a picture, mark your beds, choose a style, and get a photorealistic redesign of your space in about a minute: structure at the back, a full middle of colour, softness at the front, and your fences, paths and mature trees kept just as they are. It is online garden design from start to finish, so you can see your garden redesigned this evening.
A designer's taste, £29 instead of £1,000+
The design rules behind it come from a professional gardener, and every plant is a real garden plant, chosen for your light, soil and climate, so you get a designer's taste, not a random image. When you find a design you love, Pro names every plant in it, how big each grows, where it goes, with a month by month flowering calendar and care notes, and gives you its clean image, the kind of document a designer would charge many times that to produce.
How much does a garden designer cost?
Garden designer prices vary, but the average UK garden design costs about £1,950, and the first design takes weeks to months. That buys a visit, measurements and a designer's eye, and a designer can oversee the build. Here the design comes from a photo: your first 3 designs are free, and Pro is £29, one payment, so good garden design becomes affordable garden design.
Do you need a garden designer?
If you are changing levels, building walls or want someone to manage the builders, a designer is worth paying for: they can visit, measure and oversee the build. If what you want is the design itself, the look, the layout and the right plants, you can see that from a photo first, then bring the look you found here to a landscape designer or a landscaper if you want help building it.
A garden design service, without the wait
A garden design service usually means booking a consultation, then waiting weeks for drawings. This works the moment you upload a photo, day or night, and you can try one style after another on the same garden before you choose.

Garden designer questions
Is it worth paying for a garden designer?
For a big build, often yes: a designer can visit, measure and oversee the build. If what you want is the design, see it here first: your first 3 designs are free, with no card, and you can take the look you love to a designer or landscaper.
Do I need a garden designer?
Not to see what your garden could be. Upload a photo and see it redesigned in about a minute, then, with Pro or Max plans, get a planting plan of real plants for the one you love. For a big build with walls, levels or drainage, a designer or landscaper who visits is worth it, and you can show them the design you chose.
How does the AI garden design work?
Upload a photo of your garden or a single border, and tell us what you'd like: refresh your borders, keeping your garden's shape, or redesign the whole space with new layout, paths and planting. Pick a style, and we generate a photorealistic redesign of your actual garden. When you love one, unlock its planting plan: every plant, how big each grows, and where each goes.
Are the plants real? Can I actually buy and plant them?
Yes. Every design can become a planting plan of real plants you can buy, chosen for where you live, with each plant's mature height and spread, where it goes and a month-by-month flowering guide. The plans are built on real horticultural data and shaped by a professional gardener, not generic AI guesses, so the garden in the picture is a garden you can genuinely plant.
Do I need a special photo or camera?
No, a normal phone photo is perfect. Photograph your whole garden if it's small and simple, or one border at a time for larger or more complex gardens, where each bed has its own light and soil.
Is it really free, and what does it cost after?
Yes, your first 3 garden designs are free, straight away. Free designs carry a small watermark. Pro is £29 and Max £49, each one payment that covers your whole project, and every design you make with either comes with every plant named, plus a clean, higher quality image that is yours to keep. Pro makes two designs at once, Max four.
Is this as good as hiring a garden designer?
It gives you the core of what a designer does: a considered, photorealistic redesign of your space and a proper planting plan of real plants, built on professional design rules. A designer will visit in person, measure and oversee the build; this designs from a photo, for a tiny fraction of the cost.
How much does a garden designer usually cost?
The average garden design cost in the UK is about £1,950. Here your first 3 garden designs are free, and Pro from £29, one payment, covers weeks of designing, two designs at once, with every plant named and a clean image for every design.
Does it do hard landscaping like patios and walls?
On a whole garden design, it can redesign the layout, paths and paving, and Pro and Max name the materials in the picture, from the gravel to the fence. Or keep your paths, patios and walls as they are, and it designs the planting around them.
