Design over a Photo or in Realistic 3D

Import a digital photograph of your house and design the surrounding landscape.

Or, if you would rather create a fully 3D house, you can do that too using the large library of doors, windows, siding, and roofing that are included.

These two methods of visualizing your landscape design will guarantee that you are able to realize your landscaping ideas.

Design Over a Photo

No Experience Required

Realtime Landscaping Plus was designed from the ground up to be easy to use for anyone. Unlike other landscaping software, no prior landscape design or CAD experience is required.

The software includes a printed quick-start guide and built-in user manual. Have a question about a feature? Simply press F1.

Whether you’re a homeowner or professional designer, our comprehensive user guides, free technical support, and online tutorials will help you design the perfect landscape.

User Friendly Landscaping Software
Design Single and Multi-story Houses
Home designs are easy to replicate in Realtime Landscaping Plus.

Add a New or Existing House

Use the House Wizard to drop in a pre-built house, or create your own.

Add houses simply by drawing their outline: the walls, trim, and even the roof are all created automatically. Easily add single and multi-story houses to your landscape design.

Add doors, windows, porch lights, change the siding and roofing materials, select between gable and hip roof styles – all with just a few mouse clicks. Only the exterior of houses are modeled — not the interior. This makes houses much easier to build and edit than traditional home design programs, and helps you focus on designing the landscape.

Easily simulate house interiors using window “facades”.
