Easy Landscape Design Software

Visualize your Garden Design Ideas

Create plant-filled gardens with mulch, edging, rockery, decorations, and more. See how your garden designs will look over the years using the Plant Growth tool, and determine in advance how much room each plant will likely need.

View your gardens in realistic 3D using the Realtime Walkthrough feature, and discover which plants fall under shadow throughout the day.

Design over a Photo or in Realistic 3D

Import a digital photograph of your house and design the surrounding landscape.

Or, if you would rather create a fully 3D house, you can do that too using the large library of doors, windows, siding, and roofing that are included.

No Experience Required

Realtime Landscaping Plus 2011 was designed from the ground up to be easy to use by anyone. Unlike other landscaping software, no prior landscape design or CAD experience is required.

The software includes a printed quick-start guide and built-in user manual. Have a question about a feature? Simply press F1.

Whether you're a homeowner or professional designer, our comprehensive user guides, free technical support, and online tutorials will help you design the perfect landscape.

Add a New or Existing House

Use the House Wizard to drop in a pre-built house, or create your own. Add houses simply by drawing their outline: the walls, trim, and even the roof are all created automatically. Easily add single and multi-story houses to your landscape design. Add doors, windows, porch lights, change the siding and roofing materials, select between gable and hip roof styles - all with just a few mouse clicks. Only the exterior of houses are modeled -- not the interior. This makes houses much easier to build and edit than traditional home design programs, and helps you focus on designing the landscape.

Add Plants for your Climate

Choose from over 4600 high quality plants using the built-in search tools. Locate plants that will thrive in your climate by defining your zone, and then add the plants to your landscape design with just a couple clicks of the mouse.

Use the Plant Growth tool to help predict what your landscape will look like in the future: anywhere from three months to more than 20 years. This is a great way to determine spacing and other size considerations when designing your landscape.

Landscape Lighting Design

Choose from a large selection of landscape lights including products from Philips Hadco and Kichler. Any number of landscape lights, house lights, and swimming pool lights can be added to your landscape design. View your landscapes at night with realistic lighting and shadows using the Realtime Walkthrough feature.

Landscape Sloping or Uneven Property

Planning to landscape a slope or hill? Realtime Landscaping Plus includes some of the most powerful terrain sculpting tools available in any landscape design software.

Easily create building pads, driveways, and sloping terrain. Adjust the height of the terrain at any point using exact dimensions. The landscaping software also supports both straight and curved retaining walls. All of the tools work in real-time, so you get instant feedback on your changes.

Create terraced landscape designs using the powerful Retaining Wall tool. Build walls using materials from national brands such as Eldorado, Belgard, and Unilock.

Add Lawn Furniture, Outdoor Kitchens, and More

Choose from a huge library of detailed 3D objects including lawn furniture, outdoor kitchens, 3D rockery, gazebos, carports, sheds, and much more.

Choose from Thousands of Realistic Materials

Select from a large library of materials such as pavers, mulch, brick, wood, concrete, stacked stone, and more. Choose products from national brands such as Belgard, Unilock, and Eldorado. Easily change the color and brightness of any material as desired.

Share your Landscape Design Ideas

Show off your landscape designs using a variety of methods. Print your design on a home printer in full color or black and white, send your design to a print shop, e-mail your landscape as a picture, or create a video of your landscape design and upload to YouTube.

Unlimited Undo/Redo

Unlimited undo/redo makes it easy to experiment. You can even undo/redo selection changes, which can save a lot of time when working with large landscape designs.

Also included is support for copying and pasting, making it easy to quickly reproduce sections of your landscape.

Easy Cost Estimates

Quickly estimate the cost of your project using the integrated Project Material List. Simply open the list, enter prices for the different landscaping objects, and print the result.

The Project Material List is automatically updated as you design your landscape. You can also export the material list to Excel for even more control.
