Let’s get started!
From your Renovate AI dashboard, select the Landscaping Tool under the AI Renovation Kit. You can also access the tool from the Tools and Features section on your menu bar as highlighted in the image below.
Upload a photo of your garden or yard, or select an existing project.
Ensure the image is well-lit and high resolution for the best results.
There are four ways to detect the floor boundaries in the uploaded image.
All: The tool will attempt to auto-detect path boundaries.
Only Garden: This tool will detect areas of the image that are gardens already. It is useful if you only want to see how renovating your existing garden will look.
Only Pavement: This tool detects only the pavement area of your uploaded image. It is useful if you want to convert the area into a garden path.
Set Custom: This is the most flexible option that allows you brush over the areas you want to renovate. The system only then applies your garden path over this selected area.
In the My Template tab, define your preconceived materials in the text box, such as:
Stone: Natural, slate, or cobblestone.
Brick: Classic red or weathered bricks.
Gravel: Loose stones in different sizes and colors.
Concrete or Pavers: Sleek modern options.
Be aware that we have templates available that can give you ideas of what materials you want to include in your garden path. You can also apply the template, but to achieve your original intent, we advise you define it using the My Template tool.
Define the path width to suit your garden’s proportions.
Include the garden path patterns you want like herringbone, basket-weave, or random stone placement.
You can describe the borders to be of contrasting materials for a polished look.
Click Generate to see the garden path generated for you.
Make further adjustments if needed.
Click on Generate Landscaping to add the template generated to your uploaded image.
It appears with a slider to see the before and after the application. Compare to see if it matches your desire.
Click Download to export your project to your device for sharing or referencing during your renovation.
Plan Your Route: Ensure paths flow naturally with the landscape.
Use Durable Materials: Pick weather-resistant materials for longevity.
Incorporate Lighting: Add small lights along the path for both safety and ambiance.
Blend with Nature: Use materials that complement the surrounding plants and features.
