Landscape Designer review
An iOS garden-design app for turning yard photos into concepts and placing plants in AR.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Landscape Designer is an iOS app for homeowners planning gardens and outdoor spaces. It turns a yard photo into an AI-generated landscape concept, supports 3D plant placement through augmented reality, and offers 2D photo mockups with plants and textures. Plant identification, care guides, and hardiness-zone filtering give it a practical reference role alongside visualization. Its focus is outdoor planning, so it suits someone imagining garden changes more than someone seeking a conventional tool for designing rooms or an entire home.
The free plan includes the plant catalog, AR plant placement, a photo editor, local project saving, and access to a free plant collection. According to the vendor's pricing page, Premium costs $9.99 per month and adds unlimited AI designs, unlimited plant identification, the full catalog, all design styles, and priority support. Premium Annual is $59.99 per year and includes a 7-day free trial. For occasional AI concepts, one-time credit packs are also listed: $0.99 for 10 credits, $1.99 for 25, or $5.99 for 90. The choice is between free core tools, a recurring subscription for unlimited features, or credits for limited AI use.
Its feature mix is strongest when a project starts with an existing yard photo and needs plant-focused ideas. The catalog and camera-based identification can help users explore options, while AR placement offers a way to visualize plants in an outdoor space. Projects can be saved and shared. The trade-off is a narrow landscape workflow and iOS-only availability; it is not a fit for interior layouts or cross-platform work. Choose it for garden visualization on an iPhone, and look elsewhere if your work centers on home interiors or requires desktop access.
