Frequently asked questions

Is Yarda easier to use than Space Designer 3D?

Dramatically so. Space Designer 3D is a traditional CAD-like tool requiring manual drag-and-drop of every element — you need design knowledge and time to get results. Yarda requires only an address: AI generates a complete professional landscape design in minutes with no design skills needed.

Can Space Designer 3D use satellite imagery like Yarda?

No. Space Designer 3D starts from a blank canvas you populate manually. Yarda starts from real satellite imagery of your actual property, which means the resulting design is specific to your lot, not a generic mockup.
