Kelty Designs
A modern landscape design with a stone patio, fire pit, and ornamental grasses at golden hour

Kelty Designs

Inspired by the yard. Built for the industry.

For 40+ years, Kelty Lawn Care — a River Forest, IL local company — has been designing, planting, and hardscaping yards across Chicagoland. Every jobsite made the same lesson obvious: great outdoor spaces start with good design and easy access to great materials.

So we built Kelty Designs — an open listing platform where independent designers, material partners, and sponsors publish their own pages and get discovered by homeowners. One mission: make the world greener, one yard at a time.

Bonus tool — AI Studio

Visualize ideas for inspiration

Our AI Studio is a quick way to spark inspiration — not a replacement for design. Generate concept imagery here, then hand it to a Marketplace designer who can turn it into a real plan.

Skip generating — upload your own AI-generated concept and we'll include it with your submission.

JPG or PNG up to 10 MB. We'll use this to ground the AI render.

Generate AI concept

We'll render a preview based on your description.

Your contact info

A designer will follow up to schedule a site visit and turn this into a CAD drawing.

How it works

Three paths, one finished landscape

Start wherever you want — spark ideas with AI, hire a designer from the marketplace, and (optionally) Find Your Designer with the Installations badge to build it.

Step 01

Spark with AI Studio
Optional. Upload a photo of your yard and generate concept images to share with your designer.

Step 02

Hire a designer
Browse the marketplace and filter by the Installations badge (local build-out) or the Remote Design badge (plans anywhere). Compare specialties and packages, then book.

Step 03

Get your plan
Your designer delivers CAD drawings, planting plans, and a materials list — yours to keep either way.

Step 04

Build it (optional)
If your designer carries the Design + Build or Installations Only badge in your area, they can build it. Otherwise, hand the plan to any contractor you trust. Your plan, your build team.

Designed for the build

Clean CAD plans and photographic plant boards — scaled for your property and ready to install.

Plants & hardscape, together

Permeable and standard pavers, planting palettes, and outdoor living — all coordinated in one design.

Make the world greener

Every listing, every partner, every yard designed through the site is another step toward a greener neighborhood.
