GardenCAD

GardenCAD is a powerful, easy-to-use, drawing tool for professional landscapers. Imagine being able to quickly produce CAD landscape designs on Windows or Mac computers. Consider the possibility of visiting with your client and together altering the concept 'on the fly'. Incorporate photos of your previous design jobs into plans; eliminate scratching out parts of paper drawings and the need to redraw.

Create your own symbols

We include more than 100 symbols in GardenCAD, but you can create your own. The figure below shows some new symbols. These are not part of GardenCAD, but have been created by a GardenCAD user for their own practice. A number of these symbols have been donated and are available for download on this site.
