What our customer's say!

"Not recommended", I bought this software for my husband a year ago because we wanted to be able to put a photo of our house into the landscape plan. We have yet to figure it out. The manual is the size of a text book. The software is not user friendly. If you have lots of free time to learn how to use it, this software might be a good tool. I am not impressed.

"I got Punched", I ordered this software to help me design my backyard. It was way too difficult to use. Trying to look at my project from different angles was impossible. I sent in my rebate last September and have not recieved my check. I went online to see what is going with my rebate and it claims my check has already been sent. There is no date of when the rebate was sent so I guess it is the old "Checks in the mail" answer. If you want to keep your sanity "DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT". I only gave them 1 star because it did install and this site doesn't have a 0 star selection.

"This has got to be the worst garden design software around", I purchased this product last week in order to complete a garden design for a client who wished to see various 3D views. In my previous job I used AutoCAD and TurboCAD, so am no novice when it comes to computer-aided design.

I feel that this product is slickly packaged fluff - I would be very surprised indeed if a qualified horticulturalist or garden designer was in any way involved in the design.

Firstly, the site layout tool is fairly easy to use, allowing you to get the basic plot onto your plan. From there on though, things begin to go awry. There is a very poor selction of fence styles etc, but to custom draw your own is extremely cumbersome, using a clumsily designed and rather archaic 3D-Custom builder, which you must swap into and out of. In addition, the selection of styles for hard-landscaping surfaces is very limited, meaning you can only render a vague idea of the actual finish you are looking for. Finally, on the hard-landscaping front, the photo-importing tool (one of the main features that swung me in favour of this product) is terribly difficult to use.

On the plant side, it goes from bad to worse. The plants that are in the selection are badly drawn to a large extent, and one feature that is absolute fluff with no basis in reality is the plant ager. This feature ages all trees almost identically up to the age of 20 years, which is pointless. Even the most extreme novice is surely aware that a black oak will be considerably larger than an English Hawthorn as time progresses? More importantly though, the plants have no Latin names - which is quite shocking in any garden design programme. The English names are Americann-English, which varies wildly from real English (yes, I know it's an American product, but to launch it in the UK or Europe without taking account of this is lazy, money-grabbing marketing) It is for this very reason that Latin nomenclature is used!!!! The English list is not even alphabetical! In addition, the 'artists renditions' of many of tha plants are quite inaccurate.

I have read a few good reviews of this item on this page, and can only assume thay have been paid to write them. This is most definitely the worst piece of software I have ever purchased, and I will take it back to the shop I bought it from as soon as I can to try and argue for a refund. DON'T BUY IT!!!!!

"Worthless", Afer 12 hours and about 35 crashes, I have a cartoon-like "landscape" that only vaguely resembles my property and isn't even useful for proportions. I was hard pressed to find a single feature that behaved as advertized.

THis software was worse than useless because it took the whole day to figure out how badly I was cheated.

"What a misleading package", I just wanted it to plan some landscaping. I am an experienced software user, and have been active in the software development industry for 15 years. Just want you to know that so you can understand that I am not a novice user.

However, this is the 1st product that has me completely stumped. I doubt that I'll be able to get my money back but I will try. This has been a complete waste of time. The pictures on the package are the most misleading I have seen on a software box.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Terrible Landscape Software", Please do not believe the hired reviewers of this software that gave it any praise. I am a landscaper and this software is useless for the do-it-your-self or for any serious designer. The plant selection is extremely limited despite the claim of the large number of plants. The plants symbols are so far off in appearance, size and color that it is laughable. I tried entering at least 50 popular landscape plants and found 2 or 3 in the database. I am only hoping that I can return this junk after I have opened it.

"It does everything I wanted of it and more", I read the reviews and saw that while most reviews were negative, a few loved it. How could that be? So I bought it thinking it might just take some effort and should be ok. My gamble paid off, it really is very nice!

Be sure to go to the product website at ..... and pick up the latest patch, it fixes problems and adds features. Some complained about not being able to search for a plant by name, the patch includes "search by plant name" to address it. That website also contains an online user forum with plenty of good information. Next check out the Punch! Alternatives website. It contains great user objects, resources and information to make the most of the product.

I've been using a floorplan trace and have reproduced my home exactly. The walk around is beautiful. There's a Photoview feature that some may find useful. I thought I'd use it before I bought it, but it proved unecessary because the regular design looked good enough.

If you expect to load it on your computer and have a design in an hour or two, you'll be disapointed. If you go in willing to invest some time, you'll love it.

"Not for the average designer", Plant data base is not accessable by choosing the name of an item - you choose from pictures which are dragged on to your plan and only then can you find out it's name. Also not enough choice in materials i.e. gravel, rocks, paving, outdoor garden features like pergolas, sunhouses etc. The house design is not easy to use for amateurs - not easy to construct - I am still trying to find out how to apply a flat roof to part of a house design and to build walls which actually go to the apex of the roof. I have used better and easier to use programmes 10 years ago when the technology is not what it should be today. Not recommended at all - a complete waste of money.

"Don't waste your money", I spent way too much time trying to get this program to do what I wanted it to. The 3D walkaround isn't nearly as good as Sierra's LandDesigner. Every time you put the CD in it launches the installer which can get annoying. In the course of using the product I found several bugs, one of which I couldn't find a workaround (unexpectedly resizing the right side of the lot which would then foul up every object on that side). All in all I feel like it was a waste of money.

"It's a great product!", I just moved in a new house and was looking for a landscape design program. I have used many other landscape design products and this is one of the best; I do have professional experience with various drafting software. I had no problems using the interface; it is intuitive and easy to use. The final image on the 3d rendered version of your plan is of good quality, good enough to get a good idea the end result. It does not show the seasonal changes of your selected plants, but it does have a plant age slider which shows the plants in your garden growing to it's full height, which is excellent for planting trees. It is a fun program to use. Keep in mind that it is not a professional CAD(Computer Aided Design) program, but it is designed for ease of use, as easy as a drafting program can get. Just keep in mind that all the fancy features other programs offer is no good if you cannot use the program due to a large learning curve or bad interface.
