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

    https://www.designcad.com.au/wp/

    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!!!
