## Reviews

> **Fred** | *10 December 2024* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The developers of the program are quick to help solve problems and produce upgrades. I love the output and price point.
> 
> **Cons**: I takes a good computer to run the program.
> 
> Used it for over 15 years and watched it mature. Great program, I also teach the program to people who want to up their design output.

### "Easily visualize and create beautiful yards and gardens" — 4.0/5

> **Jonathon** | *10 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its like the SIMS for adults. Build and create beautiful decks, driveways, pools and gardens for yourself or your client. You can then turn your creation into a walk through presentation for the homeowner. Perfect software to help bring in new clients.
> 
> **Cons**: It was a bit confusing to get the terrain tool to work the way I wanted it to. Other than that as long as you have some computer skills this software is functional and helpful.

-----

### "Best Landscape Design Software" — 5.0/5

> **Dominic** | *20 July 2021* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: So easy to use and customize features.  It's like Sketchup but so much easier to work with. Renderings are instantly changed from 2D to 3D.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like to see a lot more plants added to the catalog.  Grasses specifically.  The terrain feature is touchy but easy once you get the hang of it.
> 
> This software is so valuable in saving time and money doing costly AutoCAD/Sketchup renderings.  It takes on average less than 2 hours to do a full landscape design of an average new construction home.

### "Excellent landscape design software" — 5.0/5

> **Martine** | *29 April 2020* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Realistic rendering of landscape designs.
Good 3D models of shrubs and trees - they can wave realistically in a breeze.
Good selection of plants in most zones.
Choice of layers means you can draw the base plan on one layer, lock it in so it never changes, then add other optional layers on top of it.
> 
> **Cons**: A bit thin on plant selection in the colder zones - USDA 4 and lower.
Learning curve on the more advanced features, but the written guide and Youtube are pretty good.
> 
> I use it to illustrate to clients the design possibilities - either to check if this is what they had in mind, or to present additional options they might not have thought of.  Clients find it extremely helpful to see  a planned garden in 3D, over time, and changing with the seasons, not just a 2D plan view.

### "Real Time Landscaping. Easy to use." — 4.0/5

> **Marian** | *08 December 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The program is easy to use, has excellent tutorials and has a wonderful 3D aspect
> 
> **Cons**: It is not as flexible as a CAD program. I sometimes felt that the Client view of the design were less professional as my other program.
> 
> I easily learned how to use RealTime Landscaping and it served the purposes of myself and my clients.
