What Our Users Say About GadrenBox 3D
Visualize Landscape Plans with a User-Friendly Design Tool
You don’t need powerful hardware to create a detailed design of your outdoor space. GardenBox 3D works even on basic laptops and doesn’t rely on an Internet connection. The combination of low technical requirements and robust features makes it
an excellent tool for beginners.
With this software, you can easily divide your property into functional zones: living area, garden, playground, and others. Make your projects complete by personalizing every element of your 2D or 3D backyard designs, from buildings to lights. Need some inspiration? Here are some go-to ideas for you to try:
Landscape lighting
Turn your yard into an evening retreat with correct illumination. Place lights on pathway sides every 8-12 feet. Choose tall posts to spread light evenly above eye level and bollard lights to keep light directed onto the ground.
Fence design
It’s essential to protect your privacy by fencing the plot. Select the materials that match your outdoor design: stone, wood, brick, or metal. You can also try growing climbing vines on some parts of the fence.
Pool design
Water features are a beautiful addition to your design. Add a pool with a poolside patio covered with a slip- and heat-resistant surface. Create an aesthetic spot with a pond or fountain
to enjoy the soothing sound
of running water.
Customizable sheds
A shed is mainly used for storing equipment and gardening tools. Its functionality is not limited to that, though. Some homeowners like to transform a shed into an art studio, a personal gym, or a playhouse
for children.
Garden plan
Turn your outdoor space into an oasis by trying different plant combinations. Choose from a wide range of plants, from popular potted plants and flowers to thujas and tropical trees. Consider their environmental needs: sunlight, shade, soil, etc.

FAQ
To make quick sketches, you can download an app on a phone or tablet. There are also free landscape tools working online. But they lack professional-grade features like virtual walkthroughs and normally have performative issues. For making high-quality designs even in remote areas, desktop software like GardenBox 3D works better.
To make side yards more inviting, try growing shade-loving plants. If you want a relaxing area, get a $70 to $140 swing. You can also hide unattractive parts of walls by growing fast-climbing vines on old ladders or around $50 wooden lattice panels.
