 Not so much Oct 18, 2008
I wanted a program to help me document my "new" yard. I became a Master Gardener to learn how to do the yard and bought the program to record it. The program was more work than the yard (and it is a significant yard) It is limited, convoluted and took up so much space in my computer that it made my other computer tasks more difficult. I removed the program.
 Decent but not great Oct 09, 2008
I have mixed feelings about this software. On one hand, it's a bunch of fun to play around with your landscaping and this software does a great job of allowing you to put virtually anything in your yard and then view it in either 2D or 3D. There's a ton of plants and yard "stuff" to use. The interface is fairly easy to understand and use. Where I lose some interest is, I found the feature to duplicate your house and yard fairly difficult. The concept of putting a picture in and the program using that didn't work well. That part of the software was pretty disappointing for me as you really want to see your actual house in the plans.
 Better than most Oct 09, 2008
The application has just about everything I was looking for and more. The views are great! Comparing to other systems, construct of the plans is much easier. My only concern is that to date, I haven't been able to figure out how to add my own plant library items.
Too few plants for the dry Southwest landscape Jul 27, 2008
Simi-permanent water shortages are forcing a rapid change in residential landscape throughout the Southwestern United States. This kind of software is exactly what many of us non-professional could benefit from if it listed a wide variety of beautiful drought-tolerant plants to select from. Unfortunately, neither this nor any other software that I have seen incorporates a large and varied Southwest-friendly plant list. Excluding trees and succulents, I could only find 15 plants in this software that are Southwest-friendly. Too bad, there are thousands of beautiful plants that do wonderfully in this environment; for example, there are about 200 species from the sage family alone that are beautiful yet require very little water. Perhaps what's needed is a special 'southwest' version of the software.
One other thing, it is hard to create landscape elements that are not on the same physical plain as others; what I mean is, it's hard to create a landscape in this software that is other then flat. Creating a large raise plant, for example, was hard for us to do.
Better than nothing! Apr 12, 2008
It was very helpful in planning my landscaping. Getting my home roof correct was tricky and my property has some slope in the front and I had a very hard time making it right. I planted 17 different varities of plants and I found about half of them in their plant directory.
