Planting plans for DIY homeowners

See what your space could become

Send us a photo of your planting space and a few details. We’ll create a personalized concept so you can see what could work before you spend money at the garden center.

BEFORE

YOUR CONCEPT

We do the planning. You do the planting.

You may have saved ideas, tried a landscaping app or even asked AI what to plant. Getting ideas is the easy part. Turning one into a plan that works for your actual space takes more.

We work through your growing conditions, mature plant sizes and how the plants fit together. You get a planting direction created for your home, without having to research plant or keep rewriting prompts.

1. Show us your space

Send photos and tell us what you want to change, how much sun the area gets and what you like.

2. We plan it

We choose plants that fit the space and work well together, including how big they’ll eventually get.

3. See what it could like like

You’ll get a personalized concept using your actual space.

Love the direction? Make it plantable.

Your free concept shows you what your space could become. If you’re ready to make it happen, the $39 Planting Plan gives you the details you need to plant it yourself.

You’ll know what plants to buy, how many you need, where each one goes and which specific varieties to look for when the exact choice matters.

Your Planting Plan Includes

Concept – your approved planting direction

Planting layout – exactly what goes where

Shopping list – specific plants, cultivars and quantities

Installation guide – spacing and practical guidance to get it planted

A plan you can shop from

A pretty picture isn’t much help at the garden center if you don’t know what the plants actually are.

We build your plan around real plants selected for your space. When the exact variety matters, we’ll give you the species and cultivar to look for, not just “a hydrangea” or “an ornamental grass”.

We also favor plants that are reasonably obtainable from local garden centers and major retailers when they’re a good fit. That may include widely distributed varieties from brand such as Proven Winners and Monrovia. Availability never comes before choosing a plant that works for your conditions and fits the design.

A $39 plan before a cart full of plants

Plants get expensive quickly. Buying too many, choosing something that will outgrow the space, or bringing home plants that don’t work together are easy ways to waste money. A $39 plan helps you shop with a plan before you fill the cart.

Questions? Start here.

Will I be able to find the plants in my plan?

We prioritize plants that are practical to find at local garden centers and major retailers when they’re a good fit for your space. Availability varies by location and season, so we can’t guarantee that a particular plant will be in stock when you shop.

What if my project is more complicated than a planting bed?

Plant With a Plan focuses on residential planting. Projects involving grading, drainage, retaining walls, structural work, utilities or other issues that require professional landscape or engineering services are outside the scope of the service.

How do you choose plants for my space?

We look at your location, sun, available space, preferences, along with how large they’ll plants will get. Then we choose plants that work together, not just plants that look good on their own.

Can I keep plants that are already there?

Yes. Tell us what needs to stay, what can go and anything you’d like to replace. We’ll plan around the existing landscape you want to keep.

Do I need exact measurements?

Not to get started. Approximate dimensions are usually enough for your free concept. If we need better measurements to create an accurate planting layout, we’ll ask for them before completing your Planting Plan.

Do I have to design anything myself?

No. You don’t need to draw a plan, learn landscape design software or figure out the right prompts. You send us your photos and information about the space. We create the concept and, if you purchase a Planting Plan, the detailed plan. We do the planning. You do the planting.

Can I just use AI to plan my landscaping?
AI can be useful for getting ideas and seeing different possibilities for your space. The harder part is knowing whether the plants in an image are right for your conditions, how large they’ll get, how many you need and what to look for when you shop.
Plant with a Plan works those details out for you. Your paid plan uses real plants selections, quantities, spacing and placement guidance so you can move from an idea to buying and planting.

Is the planting concept really free?

Yes. Send us your photo and a few details about your space, and we’ll create a personalized visual concept at no cost. You can see the direction before deciding whether you want a full Planting Plan.
