Design a Garden That Grows with Your Ideas
Plan a beautiful, practical outdoor space with garden design tools for terrain, planting, irrigation and hardscaping. Map your property, explore plant choices, shape the ground in 3D and preview how your garden could develop before landscaping work begins.
From property outline to planting plan
Bring Your Entire Garden into the Design
A successful garden combines the shape of the land, the right plants, suitable growing conditions and the practical details of outdoor construction. Use a digital plan to organize these elements, test different arrangements and communicate your ideas before work starts on site.
A complete garden workflow
Plan the Land, Choose the Plants and Shape the Details
Work from the property's boundaries through to planting layouts, ground cover, water management and finished landscape features.
Choose and Arrange Plants
Browse trees, shrubs and flowers, explore plant suitability, and organize planting beds and borders around the garden.
Complete the Outdoor Plan
Incorporate irrigation layouts, ground cover and retaining walls to develop a more coordinated landscape concept.
01 · Site planning and terrain
Start with the Property and the Ground
Establish the shape of your site using property boundary coordinates. Where supported data is available, incorporate real terrain information to help plan ground levels and assess areas that may require cutting or filling. Shape the landscape directly in 3D with spray, smooth and erase tools instead of relying only on manually drawn contour lines.
- Property boundary layout by coordinates
- Terrain data and site elevation planning
- Cut-and-fill design concepts
- Spray, smooth and erase terrain tools
02 · Plant library and selection
Find Plants That Fit Your Garden
Build a planting scheme from a library of flowers, shrubs and trees. PlantFinder helps narrow your choices by growing zone, sunlight, climate, water requirements and soil conditions, with photorealistic plant views to help you assess their appearance from different angles. Add your own preferred plants to expand your design options.
- Flowers, shrubs and trees
- Custom additions to the plant library
- Filters for climate and growing conditions
- Photorealistic plant previews
03 · Beds and planting layouts
Create Natural-Looking Borders and Planting Beds
Use automatic edging and planting templates to lay out garden beds, corners and borders. Select groupings suited to different growing zones and position them as standalone beds or as part of a larger landscape composition. Green Region tools can help define ground-cover areas and adjust the type, size and density of the planting.
- Automatic garden edging
- Ready-to-use planting templates
- Freestanding beds, corners and borders
- Adjustable ground-cover regions
04 · Growth and planting maturity
Preview How Your Garden Could Mature
Consider more than the garden's appearance on planting day. Plant growth visualization helps you examine how selected vegetation may develop over time, making it easier to think about future canopy, spacing and shade when arranging trees and other plants.
- Visualize plant development over time
- Review future planting proportions
- Consider the placement of shade trees
- Plan a more balanced planting arrangement
05 · Watering and hardscape
Coordinate Irrigation, Retaining Walls and Finishing Details
Develop an irrigation concept using sprinkler heads, water lines, zone markers, control panels, backflow valves and rain sensors. Add retaining walls in materials such as stone or brick, then combine structural elements with planting to create a more finished landscape.
- Sprinkler and water-line layouts
- Irrigation zones and control components
- Backflow valves and rain sensors
- Stone and brick retaining wall concepts
Ideas for outdoor spaces
Visualize a Garden Before Work Begins
Explore planting arrangements, garden structure and ground forms together to develop a clearer picture of the finished outdoor space.
Plant growth, terrain modelling, plant suitability and irrigation features depend on the capabilities of the selected product and edition. Use manufacturer specifications and site measurements when developing a real-world landscape plan.
