SketchUp’s Layout for use in garden design
LayOut for SketchUp is a fantastic somewhat intuitive program that can be used very successfully for landscape and garden design.
It has a much less complicated user interface than other CAD programs that are used in garden design. This is fantastic in a lot of instances; however, it is also a lot more limited than other packages like VectorwWorks. There are not as many time saving tools built into the software.
