Landscape designers use a range of software to plan and visualize their designs. AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite are popular for technical drawings and 3D modeling. For plant selection and layout, designers often use specialized landscaping software like DynaSCAPE and PRO Landscape. These programs offer extensive plant databases and other features tailored to landscape design. Additionally, some designers use digital rendering software to create realistic 3D visuals of their designs. The choice of software depends on the specific needs of the project and the designer’s personal preferences.
