Frequently asked questions about AI garden planning

GardenPilot uses a simple credit system: after signing up you can try GardenPilot with a free test project, no commitment. How many credits an action costs depends on its scope – starting a project (including 3 visualizations) costs 3 credits, an additional visualization 1 credit, a fully worked-out concept 5 credits. The price is always shown before you click. Credits start at €24.90 (9 credits). There are no subscriptions and no hidden costs!

It’s easy! Upload a photo of your outdoor space, tell us your preferences and your budget, and our AI analyzes your space to generate personalized garden concepts. Choose from different styles such as family-friendly, wellness-focused or modern. Every recommendation comes with detailed implementation guidance.

Credits are our simple currency for all GardenPilot actions. After signing up you can get started right away with a free test project. Each action costs a different number of credits depending on its scope: starting a project 3 credits, an additional visualization 1 credit, working out a concept 5 credits, detailed planning and DIY implementation 10 credits. Smaller actions cost 1–2 credits, and every price is shown before you click. You can top up credits any time – starting at €24.90 for 9 credits. No subscriptions, no hidden costs.

Yes – with the free test project. After signing up you start one project without paying any credits for it: you upload your photo and get your first three visualizations. It does not include a starting balance of credits – everything beyond that (additional visualizations, the fully worked-out concept, detailed planning) is paid for with credits. You always see what an action costs before you click.

Our AI takes your location, climate zone, soil type and sun exposure into account when recommending plants. We prioritize native and adapted species that will thrive in your specific conditions. Every plant recommendation includes care instructions, expected growth patterns and seasonal information.

Project timelines vary by size and complexity. Simple projects like container gardens can be finished in a weekend, while full backyard transformations can take 2–4 weekends. Every project includes a realistic timeline breakdown.

GardenPilot works in any modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). For the best experience we recommend a device with a camera for photo uploads. Our platform is fully responsive and works great on desktops, tablets and smartphones.

We offer several support channels: email support for all users, the Botani Pro AI assistant for premium features, and an extensive help center with tutorials.

GardenPilot delivers professional, realistic visualizations and a well-thought-out concept in minutes – the crucial first step of any good plan. For implementation, the choice is entirely yours: do it yourself or work with a professional. Landscapers even use GardenPilot themselves and benefit from clients who know exactly what they want and are committed to getting it done.

Especially then. You go into implementation informed, with a concrete vision and full planning confidence, invest deliberately in what you truly love, and avoid costly wrong decisions or multiple attempts.

Our AI takes factors like plot size, sun exposure, climate and your preferences into account to create realistic, actionable concepts. Each concept is individually tailored and considers local conditions for the best results.
