I am looking for a way to help see my landscaping and gardening come together before I start planting and landscaping. Any ideas of websites or tools that let you put in a design of your house and fencing and start from there?

There are many, many pieces of design software on the market today. From professional versoins costing thousands of dollars to free versions. So I think the best thing to do is give you a couple of links and chech out the free software from google.

Years ago I worked in a amateur way in gardening maintenance. I realice that I liked it a lot but I don't have the specific knoledge and experience to start a landscape and gardening design business. I have the feeling that I have the creativity for doing this but of course this is not all. Could someone help me telling me the kind of tools that I would require to start this gradually? Maybe I would requiere to know some landscape design software, etc. In short, what kind of tools would be necesary to have and learn. Maybe the thing would be more complex like doing an Business plan? I'll thank any advice. Chris

Gardener: A truck or trailer to carry your equipment and debris (although some enterprising people have even started without this). A lawn mower, rake, broom, and other small hand tools. Buy your equipment used if necessary, but shop carefully.

Landscaper: Basically you need hand tools and a truck or trailer. To start with most other tools you can rent.

Interiorscaper: A car or truck is necessary, watering cans, and assorted small hand tools.

>From the basic requirements to start it would seem that interiorscaping requires the smallest capital outlay. This is correct, but starting an interiorscape business is more difficult in other ways. It requires a better understanding of the trade. Indoor plants are much more difficult to maintain. Also, acquiring accounts is not as easy as in outdoor work. Most, if not all, interiorscape accounts will be commercial, as opposed to the residential work of gardeners.

For gardeners and landscapers a truck or trailer is a must, but as I mentioned earlier it is possible to start without one for some work. If you are doing maintenance you may be able to get accounts that will allow you to use their equipment and not require you to haul away debris. You will be expected to work very inexpensively, though. If you can get a truck do so.

For both gardeners and landscapers another source of income is from clean-ups. This is simply a one-time job of cleaning up an overgrown landscape. These jobs are hard work, but can be quite profitable.

In every business you have to contend with the government. Service businesses are no different. Before you get started investigate what is required in your area. Most likely you will need a business license from your city. The state may require a contractor's license or certification for landscape contractors. Most likely your state will require a pest control license if you intend to apply pesticides. Check out all the city, state, and federal rules before you start.

Im looking for a home design tool that allows me to design the inside and outside of the house (dont care for landscaping) that allows me to incorporate different styles (like japanese and french inspired homes) Also if i can design furniture as well.

What would be a good tool for that?

well, a Internet search would be a start and last time i checked, the library had some good information.

I want to create scenes from my series Children of The Amulet to put on my website but I can't draw and my cover designers are occupied with schooling. Is there some kind of world building or landscape building program that's really easy to use (No script or complicated numbers to calculate). I know there are architect/landscape design programs but one of my illustrations involves a forest, surrounding a wide field with a cave in a pile or rocks off to one side. I know the landscape programs will probably do the trees and field but the cave would be a little problematic. But it's a key location in my first story. I'd also like to create computer generated images of my characters and some other elements of the story but all the 3D programs I've come across either don't do what I need or are too complicated. I guess what I want is something as simple as the architect and landscape programs but with an expanded library. Any Suggestions?

Thanks

You could give 3D Studio Max a shot. I've heard it's very helpful for 3D art.
