Landscape Design Software

What is Landscape Design Software?

Landscape Design Software typically refers to a CAD-based drawing software used by contractors and architects for landscape and garden design projects.

Key features typically include photo imaging, lighting design, proposal creation, and 3D rendering.

Many landscape design software possess basic drag-and-drop features and are customizable from basic gardens to complex, full-yard designs.

Landscape design tools enable visualization through a variety of features to complement the design database (e.g., plants, flowers, foundations, sheds, decks, patios, buildings, ponds, statuary images).

Some software forms can create quotes and estimates of project costs.
