About
Your Yard AI is an AI-powered yard design and plant recommendation app available on iOS and Android. It takes the guesswork out of gardening by analyzing your space and preferences to suggest plants most likely to thrive in your specific conditions. Users start by uploading a photo of their outdoor space, setting sunlight preferences, specifying plant types, and adding any personal details or specific plants they're interested in. The AI then generates personalized plant recommendations commonly found in your area. Once you've discovered plants you love, the Garden Design Studio lets you arrange them on a visual canvas to see exactly how your yard will look before you make any purchases. Your Yard AI is designed for people without deep gardening expertise — its mission is to make plant selection simple and accessible so anyone can create an outdoor space that reflects their personal taste. The app also offers curated Yard Design Guides covering topics like how to design a flowerbed from scratch, choosing the right plants, adding backyard privacy, and understanding sun exposure. A Pro subscription unlocks full access to AI recommendations, design tools, and unlimited saved favorites, available monthly at $4.99 or yearly at $54.99.
