Garden AI: Landscape Design

My wife and I are putting in a pool, deck, and a few seating areas. Explaining my design ideas,materials, lighting, has proven to be more of a challenge than I thought it would be. This app has made a difference in understanding each other’s expectations. We can easily try different layouts and change features quickly. Definitely a 5 star app.

So I have mixed feelings about the app. It does good if you are starting from scratch. But it randomly kept my kid in some renditions (was standing in the background) and sometimes a random bucket. But other times none. Then it did a rendition with the ground being just dirt. So I had to edit it to add grass or something. Which would all be fine, if you were limited to only 20 images a week. Because I have one “edit” that didn’t edit literally anything. 8 edits that were fixing things like a dirt ground, keeping a bucket and ladder in the picture from the work I’m doing, keeping a kid in there, etc. The company should really give you a preview of the image even with their logo or something and then you confirm they rendered it correctly before counting towards your limited 20 images. Cause it isn’t perfect and costs the consumer to be the one fixing the AI mistakes.

I don’t write reviews often but this needs one to steer people away. The app failed on first couple of picture generations with no indication that it failed other than “your picture is ready” but no pictures were. Second, the app does not take into consideration of land contours such as slopes, hills or even a small ditch. If you have a flat backyard, in the middle of no where you want to turn into an oasis, then maybe this may work. I tried it on my flat area with trees in the background and it somehow managed to screw that up. AI for generating images such as gardenscapes is not there yet and definitely not worth the money. Don’t bother paying.
