am looking for a way to help see my landscaping and gardening come together before I start planting and landscaping. Any ideas of websites or tools that let you put in a design of your house and fencing and start from there?

    If your outdoor inspiration needs a little help, here is the tool you need.

    Use Lowe’s Landscape and Garden Planner to help build the yard of your dreams. With our design tool, garden and landscape planning are as easy as clicking and dragging.

    There is a good free online tutorial at on how to plan a landscape, that includes some good tools like a landscape goals assessment, how to find suitable plants, and how to develop a plot plan. The downside is that you still develop the plot plan on paper, but it walks you through the steps in an easy to follow way. There is also a great list of 1,000 plants that you can search by color, size or sun/shade needs, and much more.

    There are many, many pieces of design software on the market today. From professional versoins costing thousands of dollars to free versions. So I think the best thing to do is give you a couple of links and chech out the free software from google.

    It’s better to use multiple websites and make your own decisions on the problem. I think it will help you more.
