Minnesota lake house, entry borders

Layered borders at the entry of a log-and-stone lake house in northern Minnesota: a Washington hawthorn, ninebark and red twig dogwood behind panicle hydrangeas, potentilla and blue hostas, edged with Autumn Joy sedum.

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 Native design for zone 4, 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 “Northwoods · Cold-hardy bed” starter set — a researched assortment from our own plant library.
