About this launch
Plantyd is a landscape design tool for homeowners that starts with a satellite view of your actual property. You trace your property boundary on live satellite imagery, and Plantyd calculates the scale automatically, placing your house, driveway, and existing trees in precise position.
The tool includes a sun and shade analysis engine that maps light exposure across your entire yard by season, filtering plant recommendations to species that will thrive in each location. A dedicated bed planner lets you design raised vegetable gardens on a grid, with Plantyd calculating sowing and harvest dates from your local frost data, succession planting schedules, and crop rotation warnings.
You can watch your garden mature from Year 1 through Year 15 with actual plant growth models from over 10,000 plants in the database, so you can spot spacing problems before planting. Free tier designs can be exported as watermarked PDFs; Pro removes the watermark and unlocks unlimited projects and the full plant library.

Shopper questions
Do I need design experience to use Plantyd?
No. Plantyd is built for homeowners, not landscape architects. If you can drop a pin on a map and drag a plant onto a canvas, you can design your yard. The tool handles the scale, sun modeling, and plant filtering automatically.
How is Plantyd different from SketchUp, Planner 5D, or iScape?
Plantyd starts from a real satellite photo of your property rather than a blank grid, models sun and shade across the entire year instead of just summer noon, and shows how every plant will look from Year 1 through Year 15. Other tools focus on photoreal renders; Plantyd focuses on whether your plan will actually work in your specific conditions.
How accurate are the sun and shade projections?
Plantyd computes sun and shade from your project's latitude, longitude, and date using the same astronomical model professional designers rely on, accurate to the hour at any point in the year. Free projects get a summer sun map; Pro adds the year-round model that accounts for winter shade.
Is the free tier really free forever?
Yes. The free tier has no time limit and requires no credit card. You can design one project and use it as long as you like.
Can I export my design to share with a contractor or nursery?
Yes — both Free and Pro plans export a printable PDF plan and a plant shopping list. Free exports carry a small Plantyd watermark; Pro exports are watermark-free.
