Find the style that fits your yard

These are the 5 real design styles our engine builds from — pick one on the questionnaire and every plant recommendation is matched to it.

Naturalistic / Native

Layered, wild-feeling plantings built around regionally native species that thrive with minimal input once established — great for pollinators and for yards that want to look intentional, not manicured.

Best for: Low maintenance Best for: Curb appeal

Cottage Garden

Informal, romantic, and a little overflowing — dense mixes of flowering perennials layered for color through the seasons rather than one big spring show.

Best for: Curb appeal Best for: Entertaining

Modern / Clean-lined

Bold foliage, restrained color palettes, and deliberate negative space — structure over abundance, built to look sharp year-round with less fuss.

Best for: Curb appeal Best for: Low maintenance

Formal / Symmetrical

Clipped hedges, mirrored beds, and refined structure — the classic look for a yard that wants to feel established and precise from day one.

Best for: Curb appeal Best for: Entertaining

Xeriscape / Drought-tolerant

Built around plants that genuinely thrive on less water, without sacrificing color or texture — ideal anywhere water restrictions or a hands-off hose are part of the picture.

Best for: Low maintenance Best for: Erosion / drainage

Not sure which one fits? Just answer honestly on the questionnaire — your answers about maintenance, goals, and sun/water lead you to the right style, no guessing required.
