Where to find the best, for the money, landscaping software?

Question

I'm just want to be able to produce a draft of what would be the picture of my property before I start investing in it.

Answer 1

It mostly stinks. I have 3D Master Landscape Design Deluxe 6 and the plant selection is pitiable to impossible Some of the most common Home Depot plants aren't in there.There is a leaning curve so you can do a decent plot plan, but you can't lay out the plants cause there aren't enough. I tried Better Homes and Gardens. I tried Punch. Waste of time.

You can try most of those from Emule, but it would be illegal to try pirating them or the Cad Archicad and Landscape add on via emule, right? So I won't recommend that. =p
