Fancy Yard Landscaper

erichowens/some_claude_skills

This is for when you're staring at your yard wondering why the arborvitae you planted three years ago look half-dead and the deer have eaten everything else. It walks you through photo documentation, analyzes sun and shade patterns, and creates actual landscape plans with AI visualization. The real value is in the honest plant knowledge: it'll tell you that Emerald Green arborvitae brown from the inside out, that fast-growing privacy screens often mean weak wood and short lifespans, and that planting smaller stock actually outperforms expensive larger specimens within five years. Pairs with contractors for hardscape work, but this handles the design, plant selection, and phased implementation planning. Works best when you upload photos from multiple angles and times of day.
