👋 Eve! I was just thinking about you while I was puttering in my messy garden. You deserve more followers! You're one my handful favorites here on YouTube! ❤🎉
I'm not a huge fan of AI landscape design. It just can't do what a professional designer can.
Great video. Do you have an ai app you recommend? I think it would definitely help with brainstorming and initial ideas.
Just as home taught gardeners are calling themselves horticulturalists, given time inspirational pictures will possibly get called landscape designs. :p
I found AI landscape design to be a time suck. At first it looks good but then you realize there is no pathway to the back of the yard or a tree is in the wrong space. By the time you do all the modifications you basically had to do the whole design over.
Eve made excellent points about all the important factors only a human may notice and consider, but I wonder how many garden designers are actually starting to use AI to make it easier on themselves, too, though?..
Great video, you gave a very balanced perspective. I tend to use paper, pencil and a tape measure. Maybe you could cover some firescaping ideas? I'm already redesigning some of my plans to incorporate this.
Gotta love all those ai paths to nowhere and cars parked where they'd have to drive thru the house or over a flower bed to get out lol
