Does AI garden design consider soil type?

AI garden design takes general soil conditions into account when recommending plants and garden styles. Different garden styles naturally align with different soil types — Mediterranean gardens thrive in well-drained sandy or rocky soils, while cottage gardens prefer the moisture-retentive qualities of loamy ground. When Arden generates a design, the plant recommendations reflect these natural affinities. The AI understands that suggesting moisture-loving hostas for a desert gravel garden or drought-adapted lavender for a boggy site would produce an impractical plan. For the most accurate results, consider your soil type when choosing a garden style — if you have heavy clay, styles that favor deep-rooted natives and ornamental grasses will perform better than those requiring sharp drainage. A simple squeeze test on damp soil tells you the basics: crumbly means sandy, sticky means clay, and something in between is loam. Matching your style choice to your soil type means the AI-generated design is one you can actually implement without extensive soil amendment.
