# Your outdoor space. Room to grow.

Explore planting, paths, patios, and outdoor seating on a photo of your garden. Find a direction before drawing a measured landscape plan.

**Audience:** For visual exploration from your own references

## How it works

Landscape design, from your own image.

1. **Bring your references** — Upload a garden or yard photo showing the boundaries, house, and existing hardscape.
2. **Describe the direction** — Describe the planting character, paving, seating, and features to retain. Include your climate and maintenance preferences.
3. **Review the concept** — Check the concept against your site. Confirm plant suitability, access, drainage, and levels with a qualified professional.

## Example prompt

```
Landscape this yard with layered ornamental grasses and perennials around the perimeter, a gently curving light gravel path, and a small circular gravel seating spot with two simple timber chairs at the back right. Keep the fence, tree, foreground patio, neighboring roofs, sunlight and camera exactly. Preserve the real size of the yard.
```

## From reference to concept.

A generated source, its edited result, and a closer look at the same result. Use the comparison above to inspect what changed.

- **Existing garden** — The generated source image used as the edit reference.
- **Landscape concept** — The result of the task-specific edit, using that source image.
- **Planting beside the path** — A tightly framed detail from this result, shown at three times the scale of the full view.

## Benefits

- **Bring your references** — Upload a garden or yard photo showing the boundaries, house, and existing hardscape.
- **Describe the direction** — Describe the planting character, paving, seating, and features to retain. Include your climate and maintenance preferences.
- **Review the concept** — Check the concept against your site. Confirm plant suitability, access, drainage, and levels with a qualified professional.

## Landscape design questions

### What should I upload for landscape design?

Upload a garden or yard photo showing the boundaries, house, and existing hardscape.

### Does the image tell me which plants will grow here?

No. Include your climate and site conditions to guide the idea, but confirm plant species, soil, sun exposure, and watering needs locally before buying or planting.

### How should I check the result?

Check the concept against your site. Confirm plant suitability, access, drainage, and levels with a qualified professional.

### Can I refine the concept in the same conversation?

Yes. Tell Bob which parts to change and which to retain. Refer back to your original images and review each new concept for unintended changes.

Landscape concepts do not establish boundaries, levels, drainage, underground services, or plant suitability. They are not construction or planting plans.
