High Quality Plants

Realtime Landscaping Photo includes over 4000 high-resolution pictures of real plants including trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, tropical, and more.

The high level of detail is surprising, especially when creating full-screen presentations or printing.

The Plant Growth tool helps predict what your landscape will look like in the future. Plants are dynamically shrunk or enlarged based on their age and growth characteristics. While only an estimate, it’s a great way to help determine spacing and other size considerations when designing your landscape.
