Landscaping Design Software Reviews


"Is there really a non-commercial landscape design software program
that's worth the money you pay for it"?


This is page 2 of our landscape design software reviews. You can read the rest of our reviews on page 1 at Landscaping software reviews.

Idea Spectrum
We were very excited to review this software because from the screen shots, testimonials, and packaging, it appeared to be something we could use as a new visual design tool. However, our experience wasn't quite as we had hoped.

To begin with, neither one of my computers(a 2.8 and a 600) were factory equipped with enough 3D capability to run the program. So we installed a new 3D card that was supplied to us for reviewing the software. Then we were able to load the program.

I worked with the program on several occasions trying to complete a single design and never did get as far as I had hoped. I eventually finished the design with the better homes and gardens software that is loaded on the same computer.

I do believe that if a person had plenty of time to learn the curve, they could create a nice looking design. However, I do question if the amount of time spent learning the program is worth one DIY design.

One final note. After several months I've begun to get comments from newsletter subscribers and site visitors concerning the software. None of them have been positive.

I hope this helps.
