Front garden design

Kerb appeal that still works for real life

Front garden design has a job to do: it is the first thing anyone sees, but it also has to swallow bins, bikes, a path and often a parking space. Good design balances the two – smart, welcoming planting that lifts the whole house, arranged so the practical bits still have their place and do not spoil the look.

Garden Design App reads a photo of your real front garden and redesigns the planting around what has to stay – the drive, the path, the bins – keeping your boundaries and existing features where they are, so you get kerb appeal that actually fits your day-to-day.

Signature planting

The plants that make the look.

The planting plan lists them in full, with how many to buy and where each goes – so the garden in the picture is one you can actually plant.

Box or evergreen balls

clipped, tidy structure that looks smart year-round

Lavender

a scented, welcoming edge along a path

Ornamental grasses

movement and softness that need little care

Hydrangeas

long-lasting flower for a shady, north-facing front

Evergreen shrubs

reliable green backbone that never looks bare

Heuchera

year-round leaf colour for the front edge

Salvias

months of colour with almost no upkeep

Catmint

a soft blue haze that spills prettily over an edge

Climbing roses

colour and welcome trained around a front door

Euphorbia

architectural evergreen that shrugs off neglect

Hardy geraniums

weed-smothering ground cover that keeps flowering

Star jasmine

evergreen, scented climber to green a front wall

Tidy, welcoming, low-fuss planting

Front gardens are usually seen in passing and rarely tended for hours, so the planting leans on neat evergreen structure, long-flowering perennials and a scented plant or two by the door – handsome all year, with very little work. The planting plan names the full list, with how many to buy and where each one goes.

From idea to a plan you can plant

When you find a design you love, unlock its professional planting plan: every plant named, how many of each, exactly where it goes, and a month-by-month flowering calendar so the front of your home looks cared-for in every season.

Professional garden designers often charge over £1,000 for this. Your first design is free, so you can see your own garden reimagined before you spend anything.

Questions

Good to know.

Everything people ask about front garden design.

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 many to buy, 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, available UK plants, with quantities, 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 the first design really free, and what does it cost after?

Your first design is genuinely free, with no card required. After that, subscriptions start at £19 a month. The professional planting plan is a separate one-off you only buy if you want to make a design real.
