Example directions

Outdoor ideas that start from a real yard photo.

These examples show the type of concept AI Yard Planner is built around: practical visual directions for homeowners, not generic fantasy landscapes. Each card opens a full plan — the brief, the layout, and the planting and materials notes behind the picture.
