Life in the 21st century has its challenges, of course, but it also comes with myriad benefits – and access to innovative technology is most certainly one of them!
If you’re planning a garden and landscaping makeover this year or next, a great place to begin is by pulling together some design concepts and styles using software, apps and other online tools.
But which to use? Here are just a couple of our favourites here at LW Landscapes.
iScape
This resource uses augmented reality to help you visualise your garden and bring it to life so you can see what works and what doesn’t.
You can upload a picture of your outdoor space and then add in all the design features and elements you want, including both hard and soft landscaping.
Smartdraw
If you’ve got a blank canvas to work from, Smartdraw can help you do just that. You can use it for drawing and mapping out your ideas, with a live chat resource available to help if you come unstuck along the way.
You’re also able to choose from either an empty space or a pre-designed layout, if you’re not sure how to begin. And guess what? It’s free!
DreamPlan
This is an easy-to-use resource for both interior and exterior design. For the garden, landscaping is one of the best features with this tool, allowing you to design decking, patios, paving, paths, plants, pools – and everything else.
It allows for a lot of customisation, as well, which is what you want when you’re in the design stages.
Of course, these are just three of the many, many different technological tools available to help you plan your dream homes. And while they’re certainly useful, there’s really no substitute for bringing in professional landscapers.
