How this design was made

The before is an AI-generated stand-in, not a customer’s yard. The after is our engine’s unedited Woodland design for zone 6, locked to the plants of one starter set and laid out with the studio’s planting plan, and the planting list keeps only the set’s plants we confirmed in the picture. Every pin comes from our plant-identification pass, never placed by hand, and passes a second, independent check. The close-ups re-imagine what the main view doesn’t show, so a path, a step or a pot can differ. Planted from the “Shaded Woodland Bank” starter set — a researched assortment from our own plant library.
