Starting with a blank yard
Turn a builder plot plan or open property into a cohesive landscape, one area at a time.
Landscape design, grounded in your property
Turn the yard you have into the garden you imagine.
Start with your actual property. Arrange plants, shape garden beds, add hardscape, and see how it all works with your sunlight, climate, space, and seasons — before you buy a single plant.
No generic template. No guessing what fits. Just a thoughtful plan for your property.

A real, ordinary yard
A real property before any planting — existing trees, a fence, and a slope.
Your yard isn't a blank canvas. It's a real place.
Every property has its own dimensions, sunlight, existing features, growing conditions, and constraints. Most design tools help you imagine what could look good. Klora helps you plan what can actually work.
Build your design directly on your property, explore different ideas, and make informed choices before the digging, planting, and spending begin.

Before and after
The same property, drawn twice.
A builder's plot plan carries everything that constrains a garden — setbacks, grade, a well, a septic reserve field, the trees already standing. Klora keeps every one of them and lets you design around them, to scale, on the property you actually own.
Both drawings are the same property at the same scale — switch between them and nothing moves.
How it works
From property plan to planting plan
- 01
Start with your property
Bring your property into Klora and design within the real dimensions and features of your outdoor space.
- 02
Build your landscape
Shape beds, arrange plants, add paths and hardscape, and explore different layouts without moving a shovel.
- 03
See where the sun falls
From your house and trees, Klora works out how the sun and shade move across the yard.
- 04
Check how it works
See whether plants suit their placement — sunlight, climate, mature size, bloom season, and more.
- 05
Turn the plan into a project
Keep track of plants, quantities, materials, notes, and estimated costs as your design comes together.
The plant library
A beautiful garden starts with putting the right plant in the right place.
Klora's plant library gives you more than a picture and a name. Explore plants by size, sunlight, bloom period, color, growth habit, and useful traits such as native, pollinator-friendly, deer-resistant, and drought-tolerant.
When you place a plant in your design, Klora helps you understand whether that spot gives it the conditions it needs.
Sunlight guidance
See how much sun different areas of your property receive.
Mature-size planning
Design for what your plants will become — not only how they look today.
Seasonal interest
Understand when your garden blooms and where seasonal gaps may appear.
Smarter plant discovery
Filter for the qualities that matter to your property and priorities.

Questions gardeners ask
Do I need landscape-design experience?
No. Klora is designed to help homeowners organize their ideas visually while providing practical information throughout the planning process.
Can I design on my actual property?
Yes. Klora lets you use your property as the foundation of the design instead of beginning with a generic garden template.
Can I plan more than plants?
Yes. You can shape planting beds and add hardscape and other landscape elements to create a complete property plan.
How does Klora help me choose plants?
You can search and filter plants by characteristics including size, sunlight, color, bloom timing, growth type, and useful landscape traits. Klora also helps evaluate whether a selected plant is suited to its placement.
Can I see how the garden changes over time?
Klora includes seasonal, bloom, sunlight, and mature-growth planning tools so you can consider more than a single snapshot of the garden.
What is the 90-day Project Pass?
The Project Pass provides 90 days of non-recurring access for $24. It is intended for homeowners completing a defined landscape or garden project without committing to an ongoing subscription.
Which plan should I choose?
Choose the Project Pass for one focused project, monthly access for a flexible active-planning period, or annual access when you expect to design in phases or return throughout the year.
Is Klora a replacement for a landscape architect?
No. Klora is a planning and decision-support tool. Complex grading, drainage, structural, engineering, permitting, and safety questions should still be evaluated by qualified local professionals.
