Klora

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.

An ordinary back yard before any planting: mown lawn running to a wooden fence, a stand of mature trees throwing long afternoon shadows across it, and a toddler's swing hanging from one of them.

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 (and be beautiful too).

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.

The builder's survey for the property: house and garage footprint, driveway, setback lines, grade contours, a well, and the septic reserve field.The same property designed in Klora: a patio off the house, planted beds along both fence lines, a woodland edge of trees, and a rain garden in the lawn.

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

Start your first design
  1. 01

    Start with your property

    Bring your property into Klora and design within the real dimensions and features of your outdoor space.

  2. 02

    Build your landscape

    Shape beds, arrange plants, add paths and hardscape, and explore different layouts without moving a shovel.

  3. 03

    See where the sun falls

    From your house and trees, Klora works out how the sun and shade move across the yard.

  4. 04

    Check how it works

    See whether plants suit their placement — sunlight, climate, mature size, bloom season, and more.

  5. 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.

Seasons & growth

Design for this summer — and the years ahead.

A new landscape changes constantly. Plants grow, shadows move, and different parts of the garden take their turn throughout the year.

Switch between seasons, preview plants at maturity, review bloom timing, and see how sunlight moves across your property.

Plan with confidence before you plant.

Klora helps you answer the questions that usually arise after you have already spent the money.

A curved planting bed in its first year — each shrub and perennial drawn small at its planting size, with bare mulch showing between them.The same bed at maturity — every plant redrawn at its full spread, canopies now touching and the mulch almost covered. Year 1 At maturity
A sun-and-shade study over the beds, with the selected plant reading 11.8 hours of direct sun — 4.7 morning, 4.7 afternoon, 2.4 evening — and confirming the spot matches what it needs.
A bloom timeline for the plants in the design, each species set against the months it flowers — the ones shown all falling between May and August.
A plants-to-purchase list — 8 species, 159 plants — with pot size, quantity, unit price and line total on every row, adding up to $2,750.

Make those decisions inside your plan — not after everything is in the ground.

Built for real properties and real projects

A newly graded yard under a blanket of straw, freshly seeded and with nothing planted yet.

Starting with a blank yard

Turn a builder plot plan or open property into a cohesive landscape, one area at a time.

An established back garden in autumn — a mature holly, a spreading fig, ivy groundcover, and a board fence along the tree line.

Reworking an existing landscape

Plan around the trees, structures, beds, and features you intend to keep.

A foundation bed halfway through installation: shrubs set into fresh clay soil, straw down, a fork and bags of compost still on the walk.

Designing in phases

Create the complete vision now, then organize installation around your schedule and budget.

A settled landscape years on — mown lawn running to layered shrub borders and a mature tree canopy.

Planning a garden that lasts

Consider mature growth, seasonal change, sunlight, and plant characteristics from the beginning.

Plants & materials

Your design becomes your project plan.

As you build, Klora keeps your selected plants and materials connected to the design. Add quantities, notes, and pricing so you can move from inspiration to an organized shopping and installation plan.

No more trying to reconstruct your design from screenshots, saved posts, handwritten measurements, and twenty-seven open browser tabs.

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.

How does Klora compare with other landscape design software?

Klora is built around planning what to plant and where, on your own property. Photo and AR apps are better for previewing a makeover over a picture of your yard, and general 3D or CAD tools are better for modelling structures, terrain and hardscape in detail. Compare Klora with other landscape design tools.

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.
