Do I need to mark where to place the landscaping on the property?
No. Describe the placement zone in words: 'composite the landscaping onto the front yard' or 'place the design along the fence line.' The AI understands property zones. Use markers only when the AI keeps placing the design in the wrong area of the yard, like putting front yard landscaping in the side yard.
How do I show a client what landscaping will look like on their property?
Take a photo of the client's property. Upload it as the main image in EditThisPic. Click '+ Add reference image' and upload your landscaping design rendering or a reference photo of the look you want. Type where to place it and the AI composites them together in 30 seconds. Download and add it to your proposal.
Is there a free alternative to PRO Landscape or iScape for design visualization?
Yes. EditThisPic composites your landscaping design onto real property photos completely free, with no signup and no watermark. Unlike PRO Landscape ($1,500+/year) or iScape ($29.99/month), there is no subscription required. Upload your design rendering as a reference, describe the placement, and download the visualization. Free for one edit per week, or purchase credits starting at $1.99 for more.
What type of landscaping design image works best as a reference?
Clean digital renderings from landscape design software composite most accurately. Hand-drawn plans and sketches also work if photographed with even lighting and good contrast. Reference photos of completed landscapes from other properties work well too. The key is clear outlines on the plants and hardscape elements so the AI can extract and map them correctly.
Can I composite both softscape and hardscape elements together?
Yes. Include both in your reference image and describe both in your prompt: 'composite the full design including the stone patio, garden beds, and ornamental trees.' The AI handles mixed elements. For best results, use a complete rendering that shows all elements together rather than compositing them separately.
How is this different from the AI landscaping visualizer?
The AI landscaping visualizer generates landscaping from a text description on a single photo — the AI invents the design. This tool composites YOUR specific landscaping design from a reference image onto a property photo. It is a two-photo operation: property photo + your design rendering = realistic visualization. Use this when you already have a design and want to show it on a real property.
Will the composite look professional enough for client proposals?
When your reference rendering is high-resolution and the property photo has similar lighting, the results are professional enough for proposal decks, pitch presentations, and social media. Landscaping companies and garden designers use these composites to win client approvals. For the most polished result, match the photo angle to your rendering angle and generate 2-3 versions.
Can I use a photo of a completed landscape as my reference instead of a rendering?
Yes. If you have a photo of a finished landscape installation you want to replicate on a different property, upload it as the reference image. The AI extracts the landscaping style, plant arrangements, and hardscape elements and composites them onto the target property. This is great for showing clients 'we did this on another property and here is how it would look on yours.'
