Specialized design tools help you plan everything from garden borders to complete outdoor living areas.

Designing the Garden

Plan your landscape with precision and customize every detail to suit your property, climate, and style.

Site Planner & Topography: Define property boundaries using real-world coordinates and model the terrain, including cut-and-fill adjustments to reflect the site's contours.

Planting Library: Choose from a wide selection of flowers, shrubs, and trees, and add your own favorite plants to the library.

Plant Finder: Find suitable plants using filters for growing zone, sunlight, climate, water requirements, and soil conditions. View plants from different angles to help plan your landscape.

Automatic Edging & Planting Templates: Create coordinated planting arrangements with ready-made templates for garden beds, corners, borders, and other landscape areas.

Plant Growth Simulation: Preview how plants mature over time to plan for future coverage, garden appearance, and shade.

Green Region Tool: Add ground cover and customize the size, density, and type of vegetation to suit each area.

Irrigation Planning Tools: Design irrigation layouts using sprinkler heads, water lines, zone markers, control panels, backflow valves, and rain sensors.

Hardscape Design: Incorporate stone or brick retaining walls and combine structural landscape elements with planting for a polished finish.

3D Terrain Sculpting: Shape the ground directly in 3D using spray, smooth, and erase tools, without having to build contour maps manually.

Decks, Patios & Outdoor Living

Extend your living space outdoors with design tools for entertainment, relaxation, and everyday enjoyment.

Intelli Deck: Create a deck that follows the contours of your house for a more integrated design.
