Yardzen built a world-class database of plants, trees, and groundcovers that match up to planting zones, sun, shade, and water requirements, styles, and special features, like “deer-proof,” “non-toxic for pets,” and “year-round blooms.”After you purchase a package, you’ll have the opportunity to take a plant-preferences quiz during your onboarding. Additionally, they use satellite imagery, coupled with detailed photos and videos of your property, to assess sun and shade patterns throughout the day. They have a horticulturist who makes the final calls when choosing your design’s plant palette.
