Frequently asked questions

What is AI garden design?+

AI garden design uses artificial intelligence to redesign a real photo of your yard. Instead of imagining a scheme from a catalog, you see your own outdoor space re-rendered with new planting, paving, a patio and furniture — while the garden stays recognizable. It's the fastest way to preview a landscape design before hiring anyone or buying a single plant.

How does the AI garden designer work?+

You upload a photo of your garden and pick a style. Roomvana's AI reads the layout of the space, then replants and redesigns it while keeping your house, fences and boundaries in place. In about 30 seconds you get a realistic before/after you can slide between.

Is Roomvana's AI garden design tool free?+

Yes. Every new account gets 2 free designs (watermarked) to try it on your garden — no credit card needed. After that, credit packs start at $5.99 for 30 designs and never expire; any purchase removes the watermark and unlocks HD renders, custom instructions and commercial use. There's no subscription.

Can I try it from a photo without signing up?+

You can explore the tool online on our example garden photos without an account. To redesign your own photo you'll create a free account, which takes a few seconds and comes with 2 free welcome designs to try on your own yard.

Will it keep my house and property boundaries?+

Yes. Roomvana is built to keep your house walls, fence lines and property boundaries exactly where they are. It changes what's inside the garden — planting, lawn, paving, a patio and furniture — so the result still looks like your yard, just redesigned, and won't imply you can build past your actual boundary.

Does it work for both front yards and backyards?+

Both. Use it on a backyard to plan a patio, lawn and borders, or on a front yard for curb appeal — a tidy path, foundation planting and a welcoming entrance. Just upload a clear photo of whichever space you're working on, and try a few styles to compare.

Can it design a patio, deck or paving?+

Yes. The AI can add a patio, deck, path or stepping stones and show how they sit against the lawn and planting. Try a modern or Mediterranean style and you'll see paving materials, a seating area and a possible fire pit or dining zone rendered onto your own garden, so you can judge the hardscape before you price it.

Can I try different planting and styles before hiring a landscaper?+

That's exactly what it's for. Compare a lush cottage-garden look against a low-maintenance modern or gravel scheme side by side, all on your own photo, before you commit to a designer or a plant order. It's a low-cost way to find a direction you love and rule out the ones you don't.

What photo works best?+

A clear daytime photo taken straight on, showing the lawn or beds and a bit of the house or boundary, gives the AI the most to work with. Avoid heavy shadows, rain or a shot that's mostly sky. If the first render isn't quite right, retake the photo from a slightly higher angle and try again.

Is the result realistic?+

The renders aim for a realistic, photographic look rather than a cartoon plan, so you get a genuine sense of how a style would feel in your space. It's a visual preview, not a surveyed plan — treat it as inspiration and a brief, and confirm exact dimensions, drainage and levels with a professional before building.

Does it suggest specific plants I can buy?+

The AI shows planting that fits the style — think grasses and olive trees for a Mediterranean look, or dense borders for a cottage garden — but it renders the overall scene rather than a labelled plant list. Use it to lock in the look and mood, then match real plants to your climate, soil and sun with a local nursery or landscaper.

Can I use it to brief a landscaper or garden designer?+

Yes, and it's one of the most useful things you can do with it. Generate a couple of styles you like, then share the link so a landscaper can see exactly what you're picturing on your own garden. It turns a vague 'I want it to feel calmer out here' into a concrete visual brief, which usually leads to faster, more accurate quotes.

Does it work for small yards, courtyards or balconies?+

Yes. A minimalist, japandi or coastal style suits compact courtyards and balconies well — the AI can show container planting, a small seating area, screening and lighting that make a tight space feel intentional. Just upload a photo of the small space and try a few looks.

Can I use the designs commercially?+

Yes. Any credit purchase unlocks commercial use, so landscapers, gardeners and property stagers can use the renders in client proposals and listings. Free watermarked designs are for personal exploration only.
