Yard Planner

Yard Planner is a drag-and-drop 2D tool for laying out plants, paths and other yard elements.

Our take

Consider it if you want to compare garden layouts before committing to a physical change.

Layers, sample designs and map or photo backgrounds help build variations from the same property outline.

Keep in mind: Map-derived measurements are for sketching. They do not verify legal boundaries, underground utilities or construction dimensions.

What you can do

  • Arrange plants and structures on a plan
  • Use editable layers, rulers and notes
  • Import a background and share an editable design

Good for

  • Homeowners or designers making early landscape concepts

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone needing professional surveying, engineering or construction documents

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 14.0.
  • Map-derived measurements are for sketching. They do not verify legal boundaries, underground utilities or construction dimensions.

Privacy & permissions

Photos and map backgrounds can expose your address. Review what is in a shared plan.
