Bonus tool — AI Studio

Visualize ideas before your designer visit

Our AI Studio is a helpful starting point — not a replacement for design. Sketch a concept here, then a Kelty designer takes measurements and produces real, installation-ready CAD drawings.

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) hand the plan to Kelty Lawn Care — our River Forest, IL local installation company — 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, compare specialties and fixed-price packages, and book the designer that fits.

Step 03

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

Step 04

Build with Kelty (optional)
Hand the plan to Kelty Lawn Care — a River Forest, IL local installation company — for turnkey install, or take it to any contractor you trust.

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.

Designed and built by one team

Designs hand off cleanly to Kelty Lawn Care — our River Forest, IL local installation company — with no lost-in-translation handoffs.
