What Design Tools and Features Does Neighborbrite Offer?

Neighborbrite is a web-based AI landscape design tool that turns a photo of your yard into a redesigned image. Its toolbox covers two starting paths — pick a ready-made style or describe your own vision — plus editing tools for changing, adding, and removing elements, and finishing tools for image quality and plant identification. It suits homeowners who want fast visual inspiration from a photo rather than a measured, buildable plan.

Two ways to start a design

Both options produce a guided plan, but they differ in how much direction you supply.

The site's example prompt for the second option is "Low-maintenance color with a curved bed and native plants." The workflow is the same in both cases: upload a photo of your yard, select or describe the design direction, then view the result. Neighborbrite states the whole process takes about 2 minutes.

Editing tools for changing a design

Once you have a design, these tools let you adjust it without starting over.

• Magic edit (Pro) — make quick changes to any area of your image. The example given is adding a flower bed, shown as a before-and-after.
• Add elements (Pro) — place items from a library of 5,000+ plants, plus pergolas, fire pits, fencing, water features, and more. The example is placing a shrub by the house.
• Erase elements (Pro) — circle an object in the image and remove it; the site shows a selected object marked as removed.

These three are the practical core of iterating on a design: Magic edit for prompt-based changes, Add elements for placing specific objects, and Erase elements for taking things out.

Finishing and identification tools

• High resolution (Business) — prepares a sharp image for print.
• Auto enhance (Business) — improves lighting and clarity, shown as a before-and-after.
• Identify plants (Pro) — select plants in a photo and get their names.

Note the tier labels: High resolution and Auto enhance are marked Business, while Magic edit, Add elements, Erase elements, Describe your dream yard, and Identify plants are marked Pro. Choose a style appears without a Pro or Business tag.

What the platform reports about itself

Neighborbrite lists 800K+ registered users, 20M+ designs generated, and users in 170+ countries. It runs in the browser — the site states there is no app to install — and offers a "Start free" entry point alongside web sign-in. The page does not publish pricing details, so treat the Pro and Business labels as feature tiers rather than confirmed costs.

How to decide if it fits your task

• If you want quick visual inspiration from a photo of your existing yard, the Choose a style path is the lowest-effort starting point.
• If you have a specific look in mind, Describe your dream yard lets you write it out instead of picking from presets.
• If you need to iterate on details — swap a plant, add a fire pit, remove a shed — the editing tools are where most of the practical work happens.
• If you need print-quality output or plant names, check whether High resolution, Auto enhance, or Identify plants are available to you, since they carry tier labels.

What Neighborbrite does not claim to provide is a measured, construction-ready plan; its outputs are described as design inspiration and guided plans. For anything requiring dimensions, grading, or permitting, you would still need a separate professional step.
