Design Landscape Plans
Design houses, decks, fencing, yards, gardens, swimming pools, water features, and much more with easy-to-use tools. Give your plans a hand-drawn look using a wide variety of plant symbols and color washes. Add plant labels automatically using the wizard, and add a plant legend with just a few mouse clicks. Design irrigation systems, planting details, and other CAD drawings with accurate size and scale. Includes drawing templates for sheet sizes A0-A4, and custom sizes are also supported. An extensive library of symbols is included, and you can create your own using the wizard.

Simultaneous 2D and 3D Design
As you design your landscape, the 2D and 3D views are updated automatically. Freely switch between views as needed. Design houses, decks, and other objects in 2D, and then switch to 3D to set their elevation. Most tools can be used in either view.

The 2D view, called the Plan view, is used for creating artistic, stylized, CAD-like, or realistic top-down landscape plans. If an object is added to the Plan view it will appear in both the Plan and 3D views, but can be customized for each view if needed. This functionality allows landscape designers to create both detailed 2D plans and realistic 3D designs at the same time.

Choose your Design Appearance
Many different design types of plan designs are available in Realtime Landscaping Architect through large libraries of symbols, color washes, hatch patterns, gradients, and more. Create rich vibrant designs, or opt for a traditional black and white CAD appearance. Through the use of color washes, even hand-drawn or painted designs are possible.

High Quality Plants
Design landscapes using a library of over 7,400 high resolution plants including shrubs, annuals, perennials, cacti, water garden and tropical. Plants are included from all climate zones, so you can choose the ones best suited to your client’s location.

Most plants are high-resolution, professionally masked pictures of real plants, so they look realistic even close up. The library also includes 470 high-resolution 3D plant models which are ideal for movies and 3D walkthroughs, and nearly 500 additional standard-resolution 3D plant models.

Create Swimming Pools and Spas
Design breathtaking swimming pools and spas. Above ground, in-ground, multiple level, and infinity edge pool styles are all supported. Create spas that flow into pools, add pools with rockery, diving boards, or waterslides. Add products from national manufacturers such as S.R. Smith, Master Tile, and PebbleTec(tm). Present clients with a surprisingly realistic view of your swimming pool design ideas, complete with flowing water, reflections, ripples, and even nighttime lighting.

Design Irrigation Systems
Design irrigation systems perfectly suited to your client’s landscape design. Add sprinklers, piping, and other symbols. Set the coverage angle and radius of each sprinkler head as needed.

Create Cost Estimates and Material Lists

When creating client quotes, you can export the material list to Excel and add labor, excavation, and other custom items as needed.
