In the modern world, where every square metre counts, having a well-appointed outdoor space has become a priority for many. Whether it’s for relaxing, entertaining friends or simply enjoying the fine weather, a well-designed garden can make all the difference. But what if there was an easy, accessible way to visualize your ideas before implementing them? That’s where our 3D garden design software comes in, allowing you to explore various virtual models. Let’s find out how this simulator can transform yourlandscaping experience.
Why use 3D design software?
3D software provides a realistic image of what your garden might look like once all the work has been completed. Not only does this give you a clear vision, it also allows you to experiment with different layouts at no extra cost.
Save time and money
By using a realistic simulator, you can plan thoroughly before you even start work. This reduces the risk of costly mistakes and optimizes the process. You can include every detail, from plant types to paving materials, and see immediately how they interact.
Ease of use
Modern software is generally very intuitive, offering simple user interfaces that don’t require advanced technical skills. You don’t need to be an expert to create a design that perfectly matches your desires.

Steps to create your ideal garden with our software
Start with a sketch
The first step is often to get a general idea of what you want. Make a note of essential elements such as planting areas, seating areas and paths. Next, launch the 3D software and start with an empty template or a pre-existing model close to your vision.
Add the basic elements
Start by drawing the main contours: lawns, paths, terraces. Then add essential equipment such as benches, pergolas and barbecues. Our realistic simulator lets you easily drag and drop these elements into your virtual space.
Personalize with plants and accessories
The choice of plants is crucial to any landscaping project. Thanks to our extensive library, you can choose from a multitude of trees, shrubs, flowers and even exotic plants. You can also try out our decorative accessories to add a unique touch to your garden.
Advantages of a virtual model for large-scale projects
When considering major redevelopments, it’s essential to have a clear overview. Virtual models enable you to assess the impact of changes on the whole site. This becomes particularly crucial when several parties need to work together, such as landscapers, gardeners and other contractors.
Improved coordination
By providing a precise model, everyone knows exactly where and when to intervene. This avoids misunderstandings and ensures that the project runs smoothly.
Adaptability during the project
Plans can be changed as and when required, depending on discoveries or new ideas. With our 3D software, you can quickly modify the design and anticipate the consequences, which is not always possible with paper plans.
How to integrate technology into your deck design
Your terrace can also benefit from this digital revolution. Whether it’s a question of choosing the right furniture, judiciously positioning light points or planning shaded areas, our design tool offers a wealth of possibilities.
Test various configurations
With customizable options, try out different configurations to find the one that maximizes space and comfort. The 3D visualization lets you see immediately whether certain layouts will create obstacles or, on the contrary, promote fluid circulation.
Set the mood
Whether you prefer a cosy ambience with soft armchairs and string lights, or a more minimalist atmosphere with clean lines and modern materials, create a simulation and see how it blends with the rest of your garden.
Global inspiration and current trends
To refresh and energize this precious space, draw on the latest international trends in garden design andlandscaping. Influences range from serene Mediterranean style to Zen-like Japanese elegance, lush English gardens or verdant urban rooftops.
Adopt specific themes
Some prefer themed areas, transforming their garden into a personalized sanctuary. Why not create your own Mediterranean corner with olive trees and lavender? Or opt for a Zen setting with pebbles, bamboo and a soothing little fountain?
sustainable and eco-responsible
One of today’s hottest trends is the emphasis on sustainability. Use drought-resistant local plants, integrate composters and water collectors, and opt for recycled materials for garden furniture. These eco-friendly solutions will help preserve the planet while enhancing your exterior.
Turn your ideas into reality
Once you’ve designed your perfect model with our realistic simulator, it’s time to make it real! The transition from digital vision to reality requires careful planning and a certain amount of flexibility. Start with permanent structures and work your way down to smaller details.
Step by step
Simplify the process by breaking down your project into small, achievable steps. This will also make it easier to manage your budget, allowing you to prioritize certain parts of the garden or terrace according to your means and the time available.
