GardenCAD is a powerful, easy-to-use drawing tool for professional landscapers. Imagine being able to quickly produce CAD drawings of your landscape designs. 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.

Logos

We have been asked to provide some ideas for logos suited to landscape design practices. The key issue is that the logo should reflect your personal landscape philosophy.

We teach in a local college called Urrbrae and so in many instances below the name of the company is "Urrbrae Designers".
