Garden Design Software

Posted by Louisa Spice on September 23, 2020 at 8:41am in Design

I was wondering if anyone has any opinions about garden design software?  Good ones to go for?  Bad ones to avoid?  I am currently drawing freehand but would like to computerise the designs and hope that will make things easier.

I have done quite a bit of research, including searching this forum, but have yet to find a balance view on any software!

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Louisa, did you find any answer to your question? I'm currently in the same boat.

     Thanks

     I came across a product called GardenCAD some years back on You Tube

    This has now been replaced with gCADplus, developed in Australia

    but we have never got around to using it, as my partner prefers to do watercolour plans

      Thanks Geoffrey, I shall take a look.  My drawing is not great, hence why I am looking to computerise it!!!
