PRO Landscape – Complete, Professional and Mobile!

PRO Landscape offers a robust set of design tools that will meet the needs of any designer and give them the power to easily and effectively design and bid a project; and most importantly communicate those design ideas to the customer in terms they can understand.  Whether designing for residential or commercial, PRO Landscape has the tools available to meet your needs:

Realistic Photo Imaging:  A design, sales, and communication tool that provides customers with a photo realistic presentation of the proposed project.  PRO Landscape allows the designer to create visual designs a customer can easily understand.

Companion Mobile App:  PRO Landscape includes a free mobile app for your iPad or Android tablet that allows the designer to create, present and quote designs right out in the field.  You can also transfer designs between the tablet and desktop/laptop version of PRO Landscape, giving you the option of when and where you want to design.

Easy-to-Use CAD:  PRO Landscape creates professional 2D site plans that accurately represent the installation of plantings, sprinkler systems, hardscapes, and more.  Landscape-friendly terminology makes this the easiest-to-use and the easiest-to-learn CAD available for the landscape designer.

Customer Proposals:  Only PRO Landscape generates an accurate bid for the client directly from either a photo imaging or CAD design.  This eliminates errors and duplicated efforts.  You can produce not only the quote itself, but a complete, professional looking proposal that includes a cover sheet, quotation, materials list, plant detail information and much more.

3D Rendering: Create 3D renderings from any design project.  Easily convert a photo image to 3D and show your customers the proposed landscape project from any angle.  The user can also instantly transform any 2D CAD drawing to 3D with a single click.

Night & Holiday Lighting: PRO Landscape also includes night and holiday lighting design capabilities.  The lighting features allow the designer to place landscape or holiday lights and automatically illuminate the design.
