If you go to the local Office Depot store there are lot's of programs that do landscape design and if you look in the bargain bins at the local department stores there are always cheap landscape design programs. The problem is you get what you pay for; the learning curve just isn't worth the time for one house and the programs just arn't good enough for professional use. Buy yourself some large sheets of graph paper, a french curve, eraser, pencils, architects scale and start designing. The cheap programs will do nothing but frustrate you and the money you save can be used on the landscaping.
