A photo-based app or a plan-drawing app?
Most landscape design apps fall into two groups. Plan-drawing apps let you lay out beds, paths and plants on a measured site plan, and some produce plant lists and quantities. Photo-based apps, like this one, show how a design would look in a picture of your actual yard.
They answer different questions. A photo redesign answers “will we like it?” in one sitting; a measured plan answers “will it fit, and what do we need to buy?” Many people use a photo redesign first to agree on a style, then draw the plan or hire someone to.
