What does it cost to get this for our dealership?

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Are homeowners' yard photos stored or retained?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your dealership needs and make sure it meets HIPAA, GDPR, or any other regulation that applies. No training on your data, ever.

Does the preview account for the slope, trees, and fence line in the actual yard?

Yes. The AI reads the yard's geometry from the photo — grade changes, tree placement, fence lines, deck edges — and composites the play set into that footprint instead of dropping it onto a generic flat pad. That's what tells a family whether the set clears the fence and the maple tree, not just whether they like the stain color.

How is this different from the 3D configurator on the manufacturer's website?

Manufacturer configurators build the model on a flat, generic lawn or a stock background. Makeover starts from a photo of the family's actual backyard, so the output shows their fence, their deck, their trees — not a generic stand-in yard. It's a closing tool for the visit, not a self-serve product page.

Can it show different stain colors, roof colors, and accessory combinations?

Yes. Generate a separate preview for each configuration the family is weighing — a cedar-tone stain against a painted roof, a rock wall against a second slide, a tire swing against a glider — so they compare options standing in their own yard instead of flipping through a spec sheet.

Does the preview show the safety surfacing and fall-zone clearance?

It can show the mulch, rubber mulch, or poured-rubber surfacing footprint around the structure, which helps homeowners see how much lawn the required use-zone clearance actually takes up — a common surprise once it's mapped onto their real yard instead of a spec sheet diagram.

Can I use this for an HOA architectural review submission?

It's built as a sales visualization tool for the homeowner conversation, not an engineered site plan — HOA boards and permitting offices will still want your standard dimensioned drawing or plot plan. That said, dealers often attach the preview image alongside the formal submission because it gives board members an intuitive sense of the finished look, which can speed approval.

Can this handle a swing set replacement where we're removing an old structure first?

Yes. Photograph the yard with the existing swing set still standing, and the preview replaces it with the new model in the same footprint — useful for showing families upgrading from an aging wooden set exactly how much larger or different the new structure will look in the same spot.

What is a backyard play set preview?

A backyard play set preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of a specific swing set or play set model installed in a homeowner's actual yard. A dealer or in-home sales rep photographs the yard, and the tool composites the exact model under consideration — with its chosen wood stain, roof color, and accessories — into that space, respecting the yard's slope, trees, fence line, and existing structures. Play set dealers and installers use it on the showroom floor and during in-home site visits to close sales without asking a family to imagine the fit.

Why it matters

Backyard play sets run from roughly $2,000 for a basic swing beam to $20,000 or more for a modular cedar system with a two-story fort, tube slide, and rock wall — a purchase most families make once and research for weeks. The friction isn't the price tag, it's spatial. A showroom or catalogue display sits on a flat mulch pad under even lighting. A homeowner's yard has a grade toward the back fence, a maple tree six feet from where the swing beam would go, and a deck that eats into the fall zone. Reps lose deals not because the family doesn't want the play set, but because nobody in the room can say with confidence that it fits — and "let me measure and get back to you" is where deposits go to die.

Who uses this

In-home sales consultants who visit the yard to measure and quote use it to close on the spot instead of mailing a follow-up rendering days later. Showroom floor staff use it with a photo the homeowner snaps on their own phone, so the family sees their own yard before they leave the lot. Installation crew leads doing the pre-install site walk use it to sell add-on accessories — a second slide, a rock wall, a picnic table — once the base unit is already approved.

Heard this from a homeowner?

A family falls for the two-story cedar fort on the showroom lot, then stands in their actual backyard and can't tell if it clears the maple tree and the property line — so they leave to "measure and think about it."

Only one parent came to the showroom. By the time they show their partner a brochure photo of a different family's flat, treeless yard, the excitement's gone and the deposit never happens.

A homeowner worries the tower height will loom over the fence line into the neighbor's yard or trip an HOA architectural review, and asks for "something on paper" before they'll commit.

How backyard play set previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Photograph the yard

On the in-home site visit, or right on the showroom floor from a photo the homeowner snaps on their phone. Capture the spot where the set will go — fence line, deck, trees, and slope included.

AI composites their exact model into it

Makeover places the specific model, stain color, roof color, and accessories they're considering — tower, tube slide, rock wall, swing beam — directly into their yard photo, respecting the actual footprint.

Present it on the spot

Their own backyard, with their play set already standing in it. Families stop guessing whether it fits and start picking a delivery date.
