Surely you have looked at your garden and thought that you could redecorate it in another way. Maybe you even imagined planting in various areas and creating environments. But, when it comes to capturing it, before you do, How about using garden design online to make sure your idea will turn out well?
Below we are going to offer some applications and online tools with which to design gardens to see what it would look like before investing to make it a reality. This will give you a better idea. Do you want to know which ones we offer?
Landscape Companion PRO
This app is available for Android and iOS. Besides, It’s one of the best known because it lets you create an image of your garden and then edit it to create the online design you’ve envisioned.
Of course, it is not easy to use, as it will take time for you to adapt to it and get the most out of it. Even so, it’s one of the most useful because you’ll use your garden as a base and then place the items you’ve been thinking about and, thus, know if they will look good or not.
Virtual Garden 9.0
This program is one of those that you will need to install on your computer to be able to work with it. It is based on the principle of basic design in such a way that you can create the garden from scratch or make it from a selection of models to which you can include the plants you want and then visualize them in 3D.
This, yes, It has several downsides, like not being able to use your own image of the garden to see what it would look like by customizing it. Moreover, it requires you to use the computer to work with. To this we must add that it is a bit limited when it comes to designing gardens online, especially in terms of garden shapes and slopes of the land (something it does not take into account).
garden puzzle
Don’t be fooled by its name because it’s not really a game, but rather an online garden design tool with which you can use 3D to create your ideal garden. It has a fairly comprehensive library in terms of furniture, types of plants, gardening accessories and much more..
Also, if you like to use your own garden as a model, you will be able to use it because it allows you to add a photo of it and work on it to see what the result would look like.
Even better, once you’ve completed the design and given it the go-ahead, you can not only enjoy the result in 3D, but you can also print a plan of the project to make it easier for you to put it into practice.
Sure, and here’s the bad. And it is that it’s not 100% free. It has a free version, but this one is quite limited. The paid version starts at $19.
garden planner
This tool is another we recommend for online garden design. It has a fairly large catalog so you can choose between plants, accessories, furniture and everything you can think of to put in your garden.
You have the program online, so you only need the browser to use it. You do not need to register to use it.
The only downside is that in this case you cannot use a photo of your garden to be able to work on it. However, It has templates that you can modify to look like your own. Of course, it will always be the view from above.
sketch
We could say it’s one of the best garden design programs online, and the truth is, we wouldn’t be too wrong. It works in both 2D and 3D and is one of the most comprehensive tools on the market today.
It has a wide variety of products to decorate and you will have an aerial view, but there is also the possibility of a virtual visit (by virtual reality). He also really likes it because it lets you set the shadow spaces based on the time and location you are in.
3D garden and exterior design
This program seems to work only through Windows, and unlike others, you don’t need to be connected to the Internet to work. Plus, it’s for everyone, meaning whether you have design experience or not.
The image you get is 2D, although you also have the option of using 3D for a higher quality visual and especially with more details.
Of course, it costs a bit to manage it, and also the tools it has are basic, so it will be fine as a base but if you want something more, you will have to use another type of program.
garden designer
Let’s go with another program that helps you conceive. In this case, it is an application that you only find available for iPad. It’s also very basic, but it can help you get some first brush strokes in garden design so you get to grips with everything.
It contains more than 600 elements that you can use in your design, but still in 2D format. This is what can make you less convincing, because it also doesn’t allow you to use a photo of your garden to get an idea of what it looks like.
Home Design 3D Exterior / Garden
Again we give you another app which you can install on Android and iOS. In this case, you can create, design, furnish and decorate the exterior of your home. Of course, be careful because although it’s free, this version is limited in terms of the plants you can use (if you want them all, you’ll have to pay).
Those who’ve used it say it’s good, but it’s missing a lot of stuff. Besides, It doesn’t let you save the designs you create if you don’t pay, nor will you be able to export them.
In terms of price, we weren’t able to find out how much the full version would cost. But it may not be much and it is 100% worth having.
