I am currently looking to purchase a very good, but fairly simple landscape and hardscape design software. What software would you all reccomend. Please post a website if there is one also. Thanks

Do a search and you will find a number of threads on the subject.

Here are a few >>> Dynascape, VectorWorks and I use ProLandscape. I like it but I've seen some very good projects come from the other two - check 'em out. - AK

We love vector works. I hear Dynascape is comming out with a bundled design/estimating program plus new color rendering features. They are all expensive and time consuming. If you have never used Cad or a design software see if there is a course available. Ignorance is not bliss with these expensive programs. We got some help with ours and found parts of the program we would have never used.

I've found it fairly easy to learn using this software. They do travel around the country for training. That is fairly expensive but the cost of not having knowledge is even more expensive. The tech support has been able to guide me through any issue I've had so far. The Image Editor to me is simple and well just take a look at my website. www.cclandscapedesign.net Hope you find the software best suited to your needs. AK
