I’ve wanted to refresh my yard for a long time but the task always seemed so daunting. Enter Vera. Having options laid out in front of me is a game changer. Now I can envision all the elements I’d like: an outdoor kitchen and dining area and lounge area, a firepit, a raised kitchen garden - all in the right dimensions in my yard! Plus the things I hadn’t fully thought about beforehand but need to add to the plan: trees, hedges, pathways. Using the Pro version had even more options and let me finish out a layout my dream yard. Now I just need to figure out how to finance this!
Developer Response
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled the options in Vera helped turn your yard dreams into a tangible plan.
Good when Pinterest gets overwhelming

I knew what I wanted for my backyard but had a hard time explaining it. This app helped me get on the same page as my husband before we have our contractor start our project. You’re able to grab items from a collection of things and put them right onto your own yard. Every time you make a change, you can see how your budget changes. Would recommend for anyone else in my shoes.
Very helpful!

This app is great at translating your yard improvement dreams into realistic plans. The satellite image aspect of this app is so helpful! It helped me visualize exactly what can (and cannot) work in my space. I feel ready to tackle some projects on my own as well as reach out to a few professionals in the future. I also appreciate there’s a weekly subscription option. This was perfect for drafting a specific project I had in mind.

So glad that Vera's satellite imagery and realistic planning process helped you draft out your project!
Great Yard Design for Beginners

I know nothing about landscaping and Vera is providing a lot of visual examples to help start imaging what my jungle of a yard might become. The text that goes along with the great pictures is helping me think through different selection trades and learn the lingo so the contractors won’t take me for a ride. I also love the 3D modeling tailored to my space and selections. I’m looking forward to continuing to use Vera!
Developer Response
We're delighted that Vera's visual examples helped you get a head start on your planning. Good luck with the project!
