The problem

Trial and error is the most expensive way to landscape a house.

Most people buy plants first and design second. Two seasons later the shrubs are over the windows, the color clashes, and the tree is four feet from the foundation. Everything gets moved, or lived with.

Landscape design renderings invert that. You see how color, type, size and layout actually work on your own property before you buy any of it. Your mind is free.

“The Photo-imaging enabled me to visually see what my yard could look like… I was able to determine the color, type, size, and design lay-out before planting.” — Dr. A. Pounds, Douglasville, GA

Design packages

Three ways to see it first

Every package includes on-site analysis, one-to-one time with your designer, revisions and unlimited communication. This design is limited to what can be seen in the image — we cannot design outside the parameters of what the photo shows.

For the trade

Landscapers: we design, you build

We are a design studio, not a crew competing with you for installation work. If you install and would rather not carry a designer, we can be that designer — and the install stays yours.

How it works

Five steps, and you can stop after any of them

Nothing here obliges you to build anything. Plenty of clients take the plan and do the work themselves.

  1. 01
    Talk it through

    Start with the free 20-minute online consultation. We look at what you have, what is bothering you about it, and whether a design is even the right spend right now.

  2. 02
    We read the site

    For Metro Atlanta projects a designer comes out and analyzes the space — sun, slope, drainage, what the house wants. Remote clients send photos and an address so we can work out the sunlight exposure.

  3. 03
    You see it first

    We build the design over a photograph of your actual yard, or as a 3D model you can view from many different directions. Not a mood board of somebody else’s garden — yours.

  4. 04
    Change your mind on screen

    Every package includes revisions. Moving a tree costs nothing at this stage. Moving a planted tree costs a weekend.

  5. 05
    Build it, or have us build it

    Take the plan and the plant list to your own contractor, shop it yourself with our help, or have YardSnaps install it.

In their words

Three clients, in their own words

Highly Recommend YardSnaps Landscape Design!! Very professional and knowledgeable in selecting the best plants to use for our upcoming new home build. Looking forward to seeing our landscape plan take shape and become a reality after our build is complete!!
K. WilliamsonNewnan, GA
Yardsnaps did an excellent job in designing our fountain. We’re enjoying it immensely. The location of the fountain is perfect! We can enjoy the yard, including the new sod and plants that his team installed. We can’t wait until we’re past spring and seeing the greenery.
C. TurnerSandy Springs, GA
I was very pleased with the service I received from Yardsnaps. The Photo-imaging enabled me to visually see what my yard could look like. By creating landscape digital images and overlaying them on a photo of my actual yard, I was able to determine the color, type, size, and design lay-out before planting. Moreover, the Landscaping Plant List was essential in guiding my shopping experience. I highly recommend YardSnaps.

FAQ

Questions people ask before they book

What exactly is photo-imaging?
We take a photograph of your actual yard and build the design on top of it — real plants, at the size they will be, in the position they will occupy. You are not looking at a picture of somebody else’s garden and imagining yours. You are looking at yours.
Is this AI?
No. Every design is drawn by a designer working from photographs of your own property, and it is judged against the things software cannot see — how much sun that bed actually gets, what the ground does after rain, what is already growing there and how big it will be in five years. An AI image generator makes a picture that looks like a garden: plausible plants, no species, no sizes, nothing you can buy. What you get here is a design you can act on — real species by botanical name, real mature sizes, real quantities, in the positions they will occupy, with a plant list you can hand to a nursery. The one place software takes the first pass is AP Design, which is labeled as such and is a starting point to react to rather than a finished design.
How much does a landscape design cost?
Published prices start at $95. QuickSnap is $95 for a planting design, QuickSnap Plus is $170 once hardscape is involved, 3D Mini Snap is $250 per snap, 3D Snaps start at $450 and Blueprint Snaps at $565. Add-ons are $25 for an itemized plant list and $45 for the labeled design option. There is no fixed ceiling — a design can run upwards of $1,000 depending on the complexity of the design and the size of the project. The free online consultation is where we work out which end of that you are at, before you commit to anything.
Do I have to use you to install it?
No. Plenty of clients take the plan and the plant list and build it themselves, or hand it to their own contractor — that is exactly what the documents are for. We do install, and we are happy to quote it, but the design stands on its own.
Do you work outside Metro Atlanta?
Yes. The design work is delivered digitally, so we can work with clients anywhere in the US, and there is a 10% discount when a project is handled 100% remotely. On-site consultations, plant placement and installation are Metro Atlanta services. On-site consultations, plant placement and installation are Metro Atlanta services.
