Guide

Exterior and outdoor

Facades, roofs, driveways, fences, outdoor structures, landscaping and pools.

Tools for the outside of a property: renovating the building, adding to the plot, and the garden and pool. Each changes what it is asked to and keeps the rest of the photo — the house, the neighbours, the framing — as photographed. Each costs one image per render, and none of them takes a custom prompt. For a new sky or surroundings, see photo editing; for evening light, day to dusk for exteriors.

Exterior renovation

exterior-renovation1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Renovates the facade in one style: cladding and colours, trim and fascia, front and garage doors, dated windows, outdoor lighting and the entry.

  "image_url": "https://example.com/dated-house.jpg",
  "options": { "style": "farmhouse" }
}

Construction exterior

construction-exterior1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Shows an unfinished building completed: a finished facade, glazed windows, railings and roof, the scaffolding and cranes gone and the surroundings cleaned up. The building's geometry and the camera stay exactly as photographed.

{
  "tool": "construction-exterior",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/building-site.jpg",
  "options": {
    "style": "modern",
    "facadeMaterial": "brick"
  }
}

Roof replacement

roof-replacement1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Puts a new roof on the existing roof lines and pitch, with ridge caps, flashing and gutters to match.

{
  "tool": "roof-replacement",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/house-front.jpg",
  "options": { "material": "metal-standing-seam" }
}

Driveway renovation

driveway-renovation1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Resurfaces the driveway on its existing footprint, with clean edges where it meets the lawn.

{
  "tool": "driveway-renovation",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/house-driveway.jpg",
  "options": { "material": "stamped-concrete" }
}

Fence addition

fence-addition1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Adds a fence along the visible boundaries of the plot, following the ground, with a gate where a path or the driveway crosses it.

{
  "tool": "fence-addition",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/backyard.jpg",
  "options": { "fenceType": "wrought-iron" }
}

Exterior additions

exterior-additions1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Adds one thing to the plot: a fence or wall, a driveway, path or retaining wall, or a building — an ADU, garage, carport, shed or greenhouse. Send hasExisting: "true" to replace a similar structure that is already there instead of adding a second one.

{
  "tool": "exterior-additions",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/backyard.jpg",
  "options": {
    "additionCategory": "buildings",
    "additionType": "shed"
  }
}

hasExisting is the string "true" or "false", not a boolean. additionCategory is how the web app groups the types; additionType alone decides what is built.

Garage renovation

garage-renovation1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Turns a garage into organised storage, a workshop, a home gym or a studio, with finished walls, a finished floor and lighting suited to the use.

{
  "tool": "garage-renovation",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/garage.jpg",
  "options": { "conversionType": "home-gym" }
}

Patio design

patio-design1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Designs an outdoor living area — furniture, surface, lighting and planting — scaled to the space available.

{
  "tool": "patio-design",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/bare-patio.jpg",
  "options": { "patioStyle": "cozy-firepit" }
}

Outdoor living

outdoor-living1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Adds one outdoor structure — a pergola, gazebo, patio cover, deck, patio, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, outdoor fireplace, hot tub or sunroom — in keeping with the house. As with exterior additions, hasExisting: "true" replaces a similar structure that is already there.

{
  "tool": "outdoor-living",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/backyard.jpg",
  "options": { "structureType": "pergola" }
}

Landscaping

landscaping1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Professional landscaping in a chosen style — lawn, beds, shrubs and trees in proportion to the plot and suited to the climate the photo shows.

{
  "tool": "landscaping",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/front-yard.jpg",
  "options": { "landscapeStyle": "desert-xeriscape" }
}

Lawn enhancement

lawn-enhancement1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Makes every grass area green, even and freshly mowed, with brown patches filled and clean edges along paths and beds — in a natural green. No options.

{
  "tool": "lawn-enhancement",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/patchy-lawn.jpg"
}

Pool

pool1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

One tool for all three pool jobs: add a pool, restyle the existing one (convert), or remove it. poolShape and deckMaterial apply to adding and converting, replacementType to removing.

{
  "tool": "pool",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/backyard.jpg",
  "options": {
    "poolAction": "add",
    "poolShape": "infinity-edge",
    "deckMaterial": "porcelain"
  }
}

{
  "tool": "pool",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/backyard-with-pool.jpg",
  "options": {
    "poolAction": "remove",
    "replacementType": "auto-blend"
  }
}

Pool addition

pool-addition1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Adds a pool with a deck around it. Pool does the same with more shapes and deck materials.

{
  "tool": "pool-addition",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/backyard.jpg",
  "options": {
    "poolShape": "freeform",
    "deckMaterial": "travertine"
  }
}

Pool removal

pool-removal1 image per render·no custom prompt — customPrompt is ignored

Removes the pool, its coping and its own deck, and fills the space so no outline of it remains. Pool can also continue the surrounding yard on its own (auto-blend).

{
  "tool": "pool-removal",
  "image_url": "https://example.com/backyard-with-pool.jpg",
  "options": { "replacementType": "garden" }
}
