Project background

Traditional landscape design is often perceived as inaccessible due to high costs, long timelines, and opaque processes. Research shows that 62% of homeowners opt for DIY gardens, yet most struggle with communication gaps, design misalignment, and implementation challenges.


Relief AI bridges these knowledge gaps with a user-centric platform that integrates AI design generation and prefab solutions, democratizing sustainable landscape design and making it accessible to everyone.

Core Problem:
Bridging the Gap Between Vision and Construction

1

Turning ideas into reality is hard.

Homeowners’ abstract visions rarely translate into actionable design plans.
