Yard Designer

AI landscaping visualization that turns a photo into photorealistic landscaped exteriors, which the vendor's home builder page pitches to builders and developers for selling homes before the landscaping is installed. The workflow it describes: upload a construction-progress photo, a photo of a finished structure or a rendering of the planned home (front yard, backyard or streetscape), describe the landscaping package in plain English (for example foundation plantings, a premium package with mature trees and a stone retaining wall, or desert xeriscaping), then show the before/after on a tablet in the sales office or on site and use the images in brochures, website galleries and buyer packets. Builder features it lists: package visualization (showing basic, standard and premium landscaping tiers), coordinated landscaping across lots in a community to show the finished streetscape, 4K downloads for print and marketing, and use on any device during walkthroughs and lot selection. The pricing page says plans include client portals, style variations, advanced views and a Plant Advisor, and that Business and Enterprise add branded PDF proposals, custom style presets and unlimited shared projects. The vendor says a rendering takes about 30 seconds (vendor claim, not verified). The same site also has pages for homeowners, landscaping companies, designers, contractors and real estate. Its upgrade-rate, cost-savings and model-landscaping cost figures and its customer quote are vendor marketing and are not used here. Desk research from vendor sites.

Home builders and developers (the builder page names custom builders doing 5-10 homes a year as the Starter fit), plus the homeowners, landscaping companies, designers, contractors and real estate agents its other pages address.

Vendor publishes prices Billing basis: monthly or yearly plan with credits, or one-time credit packs

Published on yarddesignerai.com/pricing: pay-as-you-go credit packs that the page says never expire: Starter Pack $4.99 for 10 credits, Standard $9.99 for 25, Value Pack $17.99 for 50, Pro Pack $32.99 for 100 and Max Pack $74.99 for 250. Subscriptions: Starter $19.99 a month (75 credits), Pro $49 (150), Business $149 (350) and Enterprise $299 (650); yearly $190, $490, $1,490 and $2,990. Credits by output size: 1 credit for a 1K draft, 2 for a 2K design and 3 for a 4K render; subscription credits expire at the end of each billing period and do not roll over. Client portals: 5 projects on Starter, 20 on Pro, unlimited on Business and Enterprise; custom style presets up to 10 on Business and 20 on Enterprise. The home builder page shows Starter at $19.99 a month as 75 visualizations with 2K exports and Business at $149 a month as 350 visualizations with 4K exports and branded client portals; the pricing page counts these as credits, so a 4K image uses 3 of them. Both pages say cancel anytime with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The per-proposal cost and designer-salary comparisons on the pricing page are vendor claims and not used. Confirm current terms with the vendor.
