When working on a landscape design on a budget, you probably will not want to spend hundreds of dollars on 3D landscaping software. Some landscape companies offer free software that can be used to visualize the way different plants and colors would look to get the most out of your yard's available space. Most packages include many different types of plants, both annual and perennial, and allow the designer to alter the sizes of the plants for a more accurate picture of the finished design.
One of the main drawbacks to going with free landscaping software is that you may not be able to changes the house, the layout of the yard, or other things along those lines. In many packages, there is one house and a landscaping layout that cannot be changed. if this doesn't happen to match your house and yard, the software is only useful for choosing colors of flowers and type of plants.
This type of free landscaping software is usually offered by various companies selling flowers, seeds, and other landscaping products. Often the packages are designed specifically to showcase a companies particular products or breeds of plants. But with the cost of a very basic landscaping software package at over $100, living with the limitations can be worth it for the designer on a budget. There is no reason you can't use the software to choose your plants and things, then go purchase them at a local nursery or landscape supply store.
The lack of user-configurable options can be very obvious in these free landscaping software packages. Where complete landscaping software packages will include options and settings for adding in landscaping stones or lumber, the free versions usually do not include this ability. The company that provides the software determines what options are available to users of the software. You can try and see if a particular do-it-yourself landscape company offers some better free landscaping software that will allow the user to customize the layout more.
The best thing about free landscaping software is that it is free. It can usually be quickly and easily downloaded from the Internet, and if you find out that it is useless crippleware, then you can simply delete it and try another software package. It may take some time to find the one or ones that work for you, but you will not be out any cash in the process.
Most of this kind of free landscaping software will be easy to use and includes help files that give instructions. But since it is free software, there will rarely be any support available if you have a problem or question not covered in the help files.
