The look

What makes a Japanese Zen side garden.

Every Japanese Zen restyle leans on the same handful of design moves. Here is what the AI works into your side garden.

Raked gravel paths

Bamboo and stone lanterns

Moss-covered rocks

Dry stream bed or water feature

How it works

Three taps.
Your side garden, redesigned.

Step 01

Snap your side garden.

Open the app and take one well-lit photo of the side garden. No measuring, no panorama — a single shot is enough.

Step 02

Pick Japanese Zen.

Choose Japanese Zen, then tick which features stay — path, fencing, planting, storage — so the redesign works around them.

Step 03

See it restyled.

About 30 seconds later your side garden comes back in Japanese Zen. Drag the before/after slider, then save what you love.

You stay in charge

Keep what works.
Restyle the rest.

The AI does not wipe out your side garden. Tick the elements you want to preserve and the redesign builds around them. A seasonal control then previews the result in spring, summer, autumn or winter.

Keep path

Keep fencing

Keep planting

Keep storage

All four are ticked by default. Untick what you want the AI to redesign.

Questions

What side garden owners ask.

How does AI Japanese Zen side garden design work?
Snap a photo of your side garden in the Taro Tailor app and choose the Japanese Zen style. The AI reads your space's layout, surfaces and proportions, then returns a photoreal Japanese Zen redesign in about 30 seconds — the structure stays yours, the look changes.
Is the AI side garden designer free?
Your first three designs are free, no card required. After that, $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year unlocks 30 designs a month across every room and garden type — not just Japanese Zen side gardens.
Will it keep my existing path?
It can. There are 4 keep-or-replace toggles for a side garden — path, fencing, planting, storage. Tick what you want to preserve and the AI restyles around it.
Can I preview my side garden in different seasons?
Yes. Alongside the Japanese Zen style, the app has a seasonal control — see your side garden in spring, summer, autumn or winter so you know how the planting reads across the whole year.
Is the Japanese Zen preview a renovation plan?
No. Taro Tailor is a visualisation tool — the Japanese Zen side garden preview is inspiration, not a construction blueprint. Always consult a garden designer or landscaper before starting work.
