See your paver patio before you build it
Upload one photo of your yard. Pick what you want built, the paver style and the colour family. About a minute later you have a photorealistic concept of your space — not a stock photo of somebody else's backyard — plus a written design brief you could hand to any contractor. Ideally us.

Stand where you would sit. A single wide shot of the whole area works best.
Because "just imagine it" is a terrible way to spend ten thousand dollars
The hardest part of selling hardscape has always been that the customer cannot see it. You are asked to picture a patio that does not exist, in a yard you long ago stopped really looking at, from a contractor holding a tape measure and a brochure of somebody else's project.
Most people say no to that. Not because they do not want a patio — because they cannot picture theirs.
So we removed that step. Now you find out in sixty seconds whether the fire pit belongs in the corner or the centre, whether charcoal pavers suit your siding, and whether the whole idea is worth an on-site visit at all. If the answer is no, you have lost a minute. If it is yes, you already know what you want by the time we show up with a tape measure.
Then a human takes over
The AI produces a concept. It does not know your grade, your drainage, your soil, your setbacks, or that the low corner of the yard holds water until June. Our designers do. They take the direction you liked and turn it into a scaled plan that can actually be built on Michigan ground and survive freeze-thaw — then price it as one fixed number.
AI designer questions
Is the AI Hardscape Preview really free?
Yes, and there is no sign-up. Upload a photo, describe what you want, get a concept back. We do not ask for an email to show you the result.
What kind of photo works best?
One wide shot taken from where you would actually sit or stand, in daylight, showing the whole area you want changed plus a bit of the house for context. A phone photo is perfect.
Is the AI concept what you will actually build?
It is a concept, not a construction drawing — think of it as the fastest possible way to find out whether an idea is worth pursuing. Once you like a direction, our designers turn it into a scaled, buildable plan with real materials, real dimensions and a fixed price.
What happens to my photo?
It is sent to the image model to produce your concept, and it is not published, sold, or used in marketing unless you explicitly ask us to. See our privacy page.
