Snellgro, Really want to give 3 1/2 starsI really like the idea of this app and it’s the best one out there for designing your garden. However, I wish the app could do a couple of things:1. I wish you could layer items however you want as in put flowers behind a hedge/shrub, etc. I wanted to see how my garden would look with foxgloves behind my box woods, but the app won’t let me do that.2. Wish there were more variety of flowers/plants and more variety of colors.
There are a few plants that I’ve looked for that are pretty common that aren’t in there.Other than those two major things, I really like the app. It is the best one out there. Hopefully it will improve over time.
ZachieOh!, Not for Pros as DescribedI think this could be a fun app if you own an iPad and want to play around with a project for your home, but it’s a waste of time if you’re a pro. I can’t believe no developer has seized the market for pros looking to do some light duty design on the iPad. If pro use wasn’t mentioned in the description (or it were free) I wouldn’t have given it a two star rating so if you’re a DIYer it may be a better experience for you then it was for me.Suggestions that would make this a much better experience drafting something up on the fly in front of a client in the field: allow markup within the app and the use of a finger or, even better, Apple Pencil. I would imagine that would be really easy to integrate into the app (but I’m not a developer). Secondly, give your paying clients an adequate plant database (without having to upload a bunch of photos, for approval, by myself) labeled by a common name and the botanical name with the search feature. The names are a mess. I searched for a Pieris japonica / andromeda as the first plant for my first ‘design’ with this app, and it wasn’t there.
I think that’s a pretty darn common plant in high production in the majority of the US.If those changes are made I’d be happy to try a subscription again (I used the trial for a few days) and give an updated rating. LMc FL, Overpriced toyThis app is easy to use, unlike some other garden apps I test drove, but the trade off is that it is really just a toy. You can’t do much with the free version (unless your garden has fewer than 10 plants in it, in which case you probably don’t need an app to keep track of them), so I sprang for one month of the pay version to play around with. This provided some mild entertainment for a couple of hours, particularly because of the cool feature that lets you take a photo of your existing landscape and add plants to it.
But, ultimately, it is just not a useful tool. The in-app plant catalog is so limited that I had to identify surrogates for virtually everything I wanted, and the lack of any sizing function meant it took a lot of fiddling around to make similarly tall plants appear about the same height. Even this step involved referencing other sources, as the in-app plant descriptions tended toward the sparse side. The only reason I think anyone would want to keep an ongoing subscription to this is because they forgot to tell the App Store to discontinue it (which is, unsurprisingly, not as straightforward a process as it should be).
'This is an awesome tool to get an idea of some landscaping before you go ahead and do it. Landscaping is a big job so this makes life so much easier by allowing you to see what your finished product will look like before it's done. Also, if you're unsure of what to do with your yard, this gives plenty of room to be creative and make changes. The app is easy to use, fun, creative, and has lots of choices. I'd recommend this to anybody looking to spruce up their yard but might be lacking a bit of direction.' WHAT’S THE MEANING?Landscaping is a field of art that combines the elements of design-such as color, line, form, texture, and scale-and science to develop a functional and aesthetically pleasing extension of indoor living to the outdoors as defined by Dewayne Ingram.
Another concept to consider is —it is a branch of landscape design that deals with private spaces and private goods. Consequently, landscape architecture is a profession, and the term was coined by Gilbert Laing Meason.

You might not be familiar with the name but surely you have seen the default computer wallpaper of operating system—yes, that wallpaper is the Bliss!

According to an article recently posted on Forbes, landscape design trends this year include a focus on bringing indoors out as many of the clients want to bring and extend the comfortable feels of home outdoors.
