Upload the outdoor space, describe the direction, see a patio, deck, or seating area before you build any of it.
The starting point
Yard That's More Potential Than Actual Living Space?
Most backyards have more usable space than they actually get used, mainly because it's hard to picture furniture and structure in an open outdoor area the way it's easy to picture inside a room with four walls.
- 01
An outdoor space with no clear sense of where furniture or a structure would go
- 02
Materials that don't actually hold up outdoors, chosen because they looked good in a catalog
- 03
A deck or patio size that looks right on paper and wrong once it's built
- 04
Landscaping planned separately from the seating or structure it's supposed to complement
- 05
A backyard vision that's really a Pinterest board for a climate that isn't yours

Briller Insights
An example of the kind of guidance you can explore. Briller’s AI-assisted knowledge base brings together Mike’s experience and the practical know-how of architects, designers and builders. Check the details against your actual space.
Materials & Composition
Pressure-treated pergola frame, composite decking, outdoor-rated wicker seating
Lighting & Ambiance
Warm 2700K string lighting plus low path lighting
Installation & Engineering Notes
Composite decking needs a proper joist structure underneath — this render assumes new construction, not a resurface of an existing deck.
Before you commit
A render can show a beautiful pergola or deck — it can't confirm your soil, drainage, or whether a permit's required for the structure size you're picturing. Check those before committing to a build.
