FAQ
Can I install gardmi as an app on my phone?
Yes. gardmi installs straight from the browser, without App Store or Google Play: on Android and in Chrome or Edge on a computer press “Install the app”, on iPhone open the site in Safari and choose Share → Add to Home Screen. The app opens full-screen from its icon and keeps the same cloud projects.
Is gardmi really free?
Manual drawing, basic cloud storage and export are free. Expanded storage and AI usage are paid options.
Do I need to register?
No. You can start drawing immediately; your project is saved to the cloud and tied to your browser. Sign in only if you want to access projects from another device.
Can gardmi load a plot boundary from a cadastral or parcel reference?
When a supported local data source is available, gardmi can use a cadastral or parcel reference as an editable planning start. Otherwise, draw the boundary or import a reference file. Always confirm legal boundaries against official records or a land survey.
How do I check septic and well distances?
Place the septic tank and well, then measure distances. Confirm the applicable setbacks with a specialist before construction.

How it works
-
1
Upload your survey
Drop a JPG or PDF of the topographic survey. It becomes a calibrated background layer.
-
2
Set the scale
Click two points with a known real distance. From now on every ruler shows real metres.
-
3
Place objects
Place the house, well, septic tank and utilities. Measure distances and check the layout with a specialist.
-
4

Pick a starting point
Property line map by parcel number
Import a supported cadastral reference or leave it blank to draw property lines manually, then add buildings, zones and dimensions.
Open property line planner →Septic and well distances
Check sanitary zones and conflicts before septic installation or well drilling.
Check distances →Each section in detail
AI assistant draws the plan for you
Describe your site in plain words — Bo draws an editable plot, house, garden and drainage plan. Add setback zones, verify them against local requirements, and adjust every object by hand.
Septic tank and well on the plot
Place the well, septic tank and utilities. Enter the setbacks confirmed for your site and discuss the sketch with a specialist.
Start from parcel data when available
Use a supported cadastral or parcel reference as an editable planning base. If local data is unavailable, draw the boundary or import a reference file, then verify it against official records or a land survey.
Export, share and autosave
Print-ready PNG/PDF, one-click share links for view or edit, and cloud autosave with version history.
Free floor plan maker for apartments and houses
Draw walls, doors, windows, furniture and stairs in real metres. Keep apartment layouts, house floors, basement, roof and document boards separate, then stack everything in 3D.
See your plot in 3D and walk through it
Switch the plan from 2D to a real 3D view in one click. Walk through the plot or house at eye level in the browser — with keyboard on desktop, a joystick on mobile, or a supported VR headset.
Sloped sites: terrain and water level
Place survey spot elevations and the 3D view builds the real ground relief through them. Set the construction zero mark and a water level — to simulate flooding, plan a house by a lake or design piers and footbridges over water.
Irrigation and drainage plan
Draw pipes, sprinklers and drip lines on the plot. Set technical parameters yourself using data checked by your specialist. Engineering calculations are off by default.
Electrical plan of your house and garden
Place lights, sockets and switches, and draw cable routes. Cable sections and protective equipment must be selected by a qualified specialist. Export the drawing for review.
Heating plan for a private house
Draw radiators, underfloor heating areas, a boiler and pipes. Enter the parameters from your specialist. Engineering calculations are off by default; the sketch requires review before installation.
Draw a pool on your plot
Draw the shell, bottom profile, finish and fittings. Geometric water volume and surface areas follow the drawing. A specialist must select the equipment and verify the design.
Plan on a live satellite map of your plot
Turn on a live satellite, hybrid or scheme map under the drawing, find your plot by address, and design seeing the real surroundings — forest, water, fields, neighbours, roads and views.
Import a floor plan: RemPlanner, DXF, SVG
Designed the house in RemPlanner or a CAD app? Drop a .plan, DXF, SVG or JSON file onto gardmi — walls with real thickness and materials, rooms, columns and dimensions arrive ready, so you can place the house on the plot and plan everything around it.
Security cameras that show what they really see
Place a camera by a wall or on the fence and gardmi draws its real field of view: shadows behind the house and trees, the blind spot below it and the zones where a face is identified or recognised. One click covers every gate and door, adds a recorder and the cables — and you can look through each camera in 3D.
Plant and material catalogs
Choose garden plants by size and site conditions
The catalog shows mature height, crown diameter, root zone, watering, light and soil requirements — so plants on the plan stay tied to real planting constraints.
Open plant catalogBuilding materials with prices and specifications
Every material in the editor has a catalog page: average prices per country, density, thermal conductivity and other passport values — the same data powers the project cost estimate.
