How PlanScanAI helps
Landscape take-offs punish non-specialists. A single planting plan might contain 40 species across 2,000 individual plants, each with pot sizes and spacing. Hard landscaping specifications reference paving modules, edging lengths, sub-base depths. PlanScanAI reads landscape drawings with a landscape-specific lens — and gives you a clean pick list for procurement.
Pick ‘Landscaping’ as your trade. Run a Guided Scan targeting plant counts, hard surface areas, drainage runs or irrigation heads. Get linked output with drawing references and botanical-name matching ready for the nursery order.
