Frequently asked questions

Can I design a small backyard?

Yes. Add a photo showing your yard's boundaries and try ideas for planting, seating and paths. You can also start with a courtyard or terrace.

Will it turn an empty area into a garden idea?

You can upload a bare outdoor area and describe the garden you want. Interia generates a visual concept to help you explore the possibilities.

Does the app provide a planting or drainage plan?

It provides a landscape image, not a horticultural or engineering plan. Check plants against your climate, sunlight and soil, and assess drainage before installing anything.
