Any recomendations for landscape design software??

I'm looking to buy Landscape Design software for DIY projects. I'm reading good things about Better Homes and Garden Home Design Suite and Punch! softwares. Anyone used them or have any recommendations for either, both, or something else?


Most of the software available, including Better Homes and Garden Suite, is tricky to use and really leaves you without any real plan.

Honestly, I would recommend using good old fashioned pencil and paper to come up with your initial design. Or perhaps try the free Sketch-up software from Google. Just search for "Google Sketch Up."

Another idea might be to call your local community college and see if one of their design students might put something together for free as a resume' builder or perhaps a class project.

Also, many nurseries will put together a professional design for free if you buy the plants from them.

Hope that helps!

    Due to the popularity of the do-it-yourself landscape design class we had earlier this month, we have asked Ann to come back to do it again!  Ann Nickerson, professional landscape designer, will talk about how to design a new garden space , or improve the one you’ve got.  She will cover all the basic principles you will need.  

    This class is twice as long as our regular classes, in order to be as comprehensive as possible.  You will leave knowing how to create the garden of your dreams! 

    Our classes can fill up quickly, so we recommend you register:  call 503-649-4568, or email us at events@farmingtongardens.com .

    If your backyard (or front yard!) is clamoring for some love and attention, we’ve got just the class for you!  For you do-it-yourselfers, we are offering another opportunity to learn the basics of landscape design.  We have invited back professional landscape designer Ann Nickerson, who will give a double-length class this time.  The first hour, she will talk about the important design principles you should consider, as well as things like garden styles, functions of the space, making good plant selections, and how to deal with problem areas.  After taking a break, the second hour will be a little more hands-on:  Ann will show how to take graph paper to draw out your plans; how to measure a site; and how to lay out a site plan.  By the end of class and after talking with Ann about your garden space, you should leave here with concrete plans to make your garden dreams a reality!  This class is free, but since space is limited, please call to reserve your spot – 503-649-4568.
