Any recomendations for landscape design software??
the joy of added sun

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!

    Here are some landscaping tips that can turn your yard into a haven for wild birds.

    1. Basic Need: Food

    Wild birds eat a wide variety of plant and animal matter, including seeds, nuts, berries, insects, worms, and grubs. While some birds really seem to enjoy bird feeders, others prefer to get all or part of their food from natural sources. Here are some tips for providing food for birds:
