GardenBox 3D | Landscape Design Software

GardenBox 3D is landscape design software developed with beginners in mind. It suits anyone who seeks lifelike renderings without the complexity of CAD tools. This software is packed with models: furniture items, plants, backyard decor, lampposts, and more! It allows you to create detailed garden plans by arranging buildings, depressions or elevations, and paths the way you like.

Pro-Grade Garden Planning Made Simple

GardenBox lets you sketch your outdoor space in both 2D and 3D using customizable area shapes, depressions, and elevations. There’s a huge built-in library offering such essential objects as fences, gates, pathways, pools, and furniture. Plus, you can change materials, adjust colors, and place objects with drag-and-drop ease – no experience required!

Best of all, the program provides top-level visualization that lets you preview your landscape plot at any angle. It has a handy 3D walkthrough mode which gives a realistic sense of scale and spacing. You can even play with the lighting conditions – there’s a “time of day” preview feature that shows you how your plot will look at different times of day. This is particularly helpful for planning plant placement and outdoor lighting. 

The intuitive interface and detailed rendering make this program a compelling choice for designers and homeowners alike. It doesn’t require powerful hardware – this software works smoothly even on older versions like Windows 7. But keep in mind that its compatibility is limited to Windows computers.
