How to Create a 3D Landscape Plan?

You don't have to be a professional landscape designer to make lifelike plans of your outdoor space.
Simply follow the steps below:

Landscape plan drawing
Adding buildings and outdoor decorations
Planting trees and flowers
Size and material modifications

Explore 300+ Furnishing Items

Use hundreds of ready-made models to make your landscape designs more realistic and create detailed, full-scale projects. Plan spaces with any outdoor objects you need: create a lounge area, select lawn decor, make a playground area with porch swings, etc.

Change the models’ size and position, rotate the objects, adjust their height and width separately, and set their level above the ground. When you’re done, “lock” the object so you don’t move it on your landscape plan by accident.

See What Our Users Say About GardenBox 3D

Monica Crawford
USA
I tested out quite a few CAD landscape design programs, but most of them were either way overpriced or just too technical. Eventually, I landed on GardenBox 3D, and honestly, it was exactly what I was looking for. It has an intuitive interface and built-in prompts that show you how to use the tools. So if you want to change your landscape plan without any design experience, this is a good option to give a try.
Brandon Lawson
Canada
Downloaded this landscape design software after my friend’s recommendation and was pleasantly surprised by how efficiently it works. Its drawing tools are easy to understand even on first use. There’s a good range of materials, surfaces, and decorative elements. Overall, GardenBox 3D is a practical solution for sketching landscapes in a clear and organised way.
Emma Kearsey
Australia
Didn’t expect a landscape planner to make me this excited about my garden, but this one absolutely did! Working with a sloped plot had always felt overwhelming, and nothing I tried before really showed me how my design ideas could actually work. With GardenBox 3D, everything suddenly clicked. This software is definitely worth a look if you’re planning a landscape makeover. I spent hours just exploring its capabilities and extensive library of plants.

FAQ

What is landscape design software?

Landscape design programs are powerful tools that help homeowners and professional architects build and edit plots with precision. They range from basic to advanced CAD programs.

What should I look for when searching for a garden and backyard plan maker?

The software should come with a library of outdoor decorations and plant symbols. Look for customizable materials and measurement tools. You should also consider the free trial to make sure you don't invest in a program that doesn’t suit your needs.

Which tool is suitable for average non-designer homeowners?

If you have little to no experience, GardenBox 3D is an excellent choice. It has walkthroughs that guide beginners through the whole design process.

Is there professional software for beginners?

Beginners can start their landscape design journey with software like GardenBox 3D. It features a clutter-free interface and intuitive design tools, so you’ll seamlessly plan the plot of your dreams even if you’ve never used CAD rendering software before.

Can I export my landscape design?

Yes, you can export your landscape designs as high-resolution images (PNG, JPG, or BMP), as PDF or TIFF files, or as projects for making further adjustments.

Can I use my plot blueprint as a template in GardenBox 3D?

Absolutely! It allows you to upload the image of your blueprint. Simply import it into the landscape design program and start drawing a plan on top of your template.

What are the benefits of using desktop software over online tools or drawing by hand?

Desktop programs function offline and provide uninterrupted access without relying on the Internet connection and speed. Plus, they typically provide more robust design features such as photo-realistic rendering. Compared to hand-drawing, desktop software streamlines the process, still giving you high-quality results and saving time.

What makes 3D design software better than traditional 2D planning tools?

Unlike standard 2D programs, three-dimensional design software lets you view and change projects from multiple angles, digitally walk through your property, and adjust lighting for different times of the day.

Can I use a garden planner to draw a sloped plot?

Yes, you can design uneven landscape plots using terrain design tools for changing and visualizing slopes, uplands, and lowlands.

What is the difference between hardscape and softscape in landscaping?

While softscapes (grass, flowers, etc.) are meant to bring a sense of natural beauty, hardscape elements include everything that is not living: fences, outdoor lighting, decks, and other similar objects.
