Professional Landscape Design Software

Landscape design software is computer-aided design, or CAD, especially tailored to the needs of landscape architects and designers. Historically, designs were drawn by hand until computer programs became available to speed up the design process.

Landscape design software saves time. Saving time means saving money. It not only allows designers to execute original plans more quickly, it drastically reduces the amount of time spent revising designs for the client.

Design software also ensures accuracy. Measurements and surveyor dimensions can be input directly into the program, leaving less room for error. With accurate information, you’ll place more accurate purchase orders and avoid overages, or worse, coming up short.

DynaScape Design changes the landscape software game.

Most design software is more function before form. Design bridges the gap between them. Plans are accurate but mechanical. That’s great for landscape architects and construction crews but not necessarily for clients.

Design features an artistic look that brings designs to life without sacrificing the technical features of CAD-based software.
Features include:

• Familiar Windows-based user interface
• Line weights and text size that automatically scale with your plan
• A wide selection of templates to start with
• A plant database with over 10,000 plants to choose from
• A symbol database that supplies over 1,200 symbols from architectural basics to hardscaping
• A catalog option that allows you to present full color photos of all final plant choices

Traditional landscape planning yields beautiful results, but it’s time consuming. Initially, landscaping software allows you to complete a landscape plan much faster. That alone saves you time. But take it a step further.

With designer software, landscape plans can be saved to a central location where other designers have access. That allows anyone to contribute to the final design if necessary. Software also eliminates the need for a complete sketchup with every change. Unlimited revisions can be executed in a very short timeframe.

Consistency is also a point to consider. With Dynascape Design’s software tools, you get a hand-drawn look, but it will always be consistent. The look will remain the same regardless of who works on it.

Finally, technical accuracy is far superior with landscape design software. It eliminates the guesswork and miscalculations. Guaranteed accuracy helps prevent costly mistakes when ordering and installing.

All of these add up to a higher chance of securing a bid, which will, of course, bring in more money.

The short answer is yes. Both beginners and professionals can benefit from landscape design software. We would suggest a demo to see exactly how.

However, those just starting a landscaping business or just beginning to investigate software may feel a bit overwhelmed. We have a beginner landscape software called DynasScape Creator.
With Creator, you’ll get many of the same features as Design in a slightly scaled-back version at a lower price point.
