Garden and landscape design, to scale

Plan the whole yard, patio to perennials

Lay out beds and plantings, patios, walkways, walls and decks on a plan measured in feet, then watch it stand up in 3D. Made for landscape pros drawing for clients, and for anyone planning their own garden.

Start a garden See an example

A colonial house in 3D on its lawn: the brick walk to the front door, a curve of hydrangeas and red flowers, the driveway to the garage and old trees along a stone wall

For landscape pros

Draw the design, walk the client through it in 3D or on a painted presentation board, and hand over a proposal with the quantities already taken off.

For your own yard

Sketch a new patio, next spring’s beds or a vegetable plot, and know it fits, and gets the sun, before you buy a single paver or plant.

For gardens run together

Schools and community gardens keep one plan everyone can see: a listed, link-only or private map, editors invited by email, and a print for the shed wall.

Plan / 3D

One click and the plan stands up

The 3D view is drawn from the same plan, so there’s nothing extra to model: walls at their height, decks with their stairs, fences, raised beds and trees. Pick a day and an hour to see where the shade sits, or press Tour and walk around it.

Hardscape: Patios, walkways, walls, steps, decks, edging and fences in real materials
Planting: Trees, shrubs, perennials and vegetables from a catalogue
Ground: Flat, or sloped to the real grade

A school garden in 3D: raised beds, picnic tables and a brick path standing on the terrain

Sun

Know where the sun lands before you build or plant

A school garden at 4:15 pm on September 22: the sun's arc from east to west across the plan, with the shadows it casts — **Sun path** The arc for any day of the year, and the shadow everything on the plan casts at the hour you pick.

A garden's sun map: deep blue shade along the north face of the school building, part sun at its edge, full sun over the beds — **Sun map** Hours of direct sun a day across the whole plot, for one month or the growing season: full sun, part sun, part shade, shade.

And the rest of it

Everything the plan needs, in one place

A two-storey colonial in 3D with its attached garage, a wing with a dormer and a chimney up the back, the lawn and front walk around it — **Your house, as it stands** Trace the footprint, then pick the siding, trim and roof colours, the front door, dormers, a porch, garage doors and a chimney. The garden grows up round the house you actually live in.

May in the garden: the coming weeks' weather, then what to sow, care for, watch and harvest, plant by plant — **What to do this month** Sow, plant, protect and harvest for what is in your garden, timed to your frost dates, with the weeks’ weather alongside.

A presentation board: the garden plan painted in watercolour, with notes on each part and a key to the materials — **A board for the client** The same plan painted in watercolour on a presentation sheet, every part noted and keyed, ready to print or send. Nothing to redraw.

The quantities list: square feet of brick with its gravel base, mulch, raised beds and the soil to fill them, structures and plants, each counted — **Quantities, already taken off** Square feet of paving and the base under it, yards of soil and mulch, every bed, board and plant counted, ready as a CSV or a proposal for a client.

Work on it together Invite people by email to edit or just look. One person edits at a time and everyone else watches it change; anyone can pin a comment to the plan, and a note each day says what changed.
