Better Homes and Gardens Landscaping and Deck Designer

Your yard has always been good to you, giving you space to play with your
kids, barbecue, and even sun-bathe on those lazy summer days. But now you're
ready to bring some creative elegance and flair to your outdoor living. And you
don't want to spend a mint just to have a landscape designer or consultant tell
you what you want. If you know what you want, but you just need a little help
turning that vision into reality, the Better Homes and Gardens Landscaping and
Deck Designer software package is just for you.






Design your new deck with Home Designer's tools that let you visualize and
design with realistic 3D models.



Better Homes and Gardens, the number one home and garden publisher, has
partnered with leading software designer Chief Architect to bring you the
Landscaping and Deck Designer. This program can help you transform your yard
space into the landscape of your dreams, at a fraction of the cost of what a
professional would charge. Using the software's fun, intuitive, and easy-to-use
tools, you'll quickly be on the way toward becoming the envy of your
neighborhood as your backyard barbecues in the sun turn into elegant moon-lit
affairs on your new deck.



With the Landscaping and Deck Designer, you don't need any design experience to
plan your new landscaping, deck or patio areas. In a few easy steps, you'll be
able to take care of site planning and cost estimating. The software will give
you everything you need, from conception to planning to pricing.



With a huge library of over 1,200 plants at your disposal, you won't have to be
stuck with the same old options the local home and garden shop offers. You can
create beautiful landscaping with trees, shrubs, water features, and flowers of
your own choosing. You can even import your digital photos and add your own
custom landscaping features to your plans. To keep those plants thriving, you'll
want to install a sprinkler system. The "sprinkler designer" feature can help
you lay out sprinkler zones for optimal watering. A "furniture" feature allows
you to project a wide variety of backdrops, objects, images, and textures onto
your designs. It's never been easier to select the right patio furniture for
your new deck or out by the swimming pool.



As you plan your new outdoor living area, the software can project 3D models of
your plot and perimeter designs, giving you realistic images of what your
designs will look like. A "terrain" feature can help you build fences and
driveways, and the software will help you choose the best materials for the
pathways you design through your gardens. You'll even have a special "fence
tool" at your finger tips that will help you to choose from several different
custom fence and gate styles.

In short, with the Landscaping and Deck Designer software at your fingertips,
you can say good-bye to all those cookie-cutter yards that populate new
developments. You can finally say hello to an outdoor living area that not only
reflects your dreams and visions, but that also reflects how your outdoor area
should be experienced, day in and day out, for years to come.
