Landscaping Software Reviews

Are you hesitant about trying a landscaping software program? I was, too, in the beginning. But I ended up enjoying my experience with Realtime Landscaping Pro. Read my review to learn why I found this product to be the best one out there that I've tried, so far.

I was less impressed with ConceptDraw. The templates are OK, but this landscaping software seems a bit pricey for what it offers. In my review I discuss the program's features from the standpoint of a homeowner, not a pro.

Landscape Vision offers another design software program. My review considers its pros and cons, as I consider such features as screen format and mechanisms for moving objects around and deleting them.

SmartDraw 7 is acceptable landscaping software for those averse to drawing. The SmartDraw landscaping software offers a plenitude of pretty symbols that can be dragged-and-dropped into templates, as I note in my review. But SmartDraw 7 wasn't smart enough to convince me that good, old-fashioned drawing would be on the brink of extinction anytime soon.

Visit 3D Garden Composer to view examples of what can be done with their landscaping software. Yes, planning a garden has gone hi-tech! If nothing else, using such a program gives you the ability to play with certain ideas before you do anything concrete with plants. It's a lot cheaper and easier to "brainstorm" like this in the planning stages than after the fact!

When you reach this site, look under Design in the left-hand column and click on "The Process." Here you will learn about an interactive process whereby you supply the designer with information, and he responds with a (revisable) plan. The pros at Clearwater use landscaping software to draw their plans. Their interactive approach ensures that you help them get it right! After all, it's your yard.
