 +Landscape design software is used by Landscape architects, landscape designers and garden designers to create planting, softworks, groundworks and hardworks (see definitions below) plans before constructing a landscape.
 +
 +There are two levels of software available, amateur and professional. The former is usually aimed at simple visualisation of a garden design whilst the latter provides tools that allow stylistic representations of a design to be accurately labelled and dimensioned for contractors to interpret and land authorities or local government to sight and approve or otherwise. Since the advent of the personal computer, several software packages have come into existence the main professional software being CS Design Software'​s CS Artisan, Idea Spectrum'​s Realtime Landscaping Architect, LANDWorksCAD,​ LandCADD, Landmark, PRO Landscape, Structure Studio'​s VizTerra, VisionScape'​s VirtualProperty Architect, and Visual Impact'​s Earthscapes.
 +
 +Professional landscape design software requires detailed information to be output for contract documentation,​ which will usually constitute drawings, specifications and reports (schedules/​bills of quantity). The more sophisticated landscape design software solutions automate the process of generating reports (schedules/​bills of quantity) from intelligent data in the drawing; such intelligence is usually contained within labels (annotations) which include, in the case of planting, automatic calculation routines to determine the number of individual plants based on plant spacings (centres) per area or length. When labelled areas or lengths are modified (stretched or shrunk), associated labels are recalculated at the same time as reports (schedules/​bills of quantity) contained in or associated with the same drawing.

 +- Images of Plants and Objects
 +- Print Shopping Lists
 +- Print Design
 +- Visualize Plant Growth
 +- Outdoor Lighting
 +- Irrigation Design
 +- Outdoor Furniture
 +- Reports/​Schedules/​Bills of Quantity
 +- Labels/​Annotation
 +- Photorealistic Design Presentations
 +- Generating Quotes, Invoices, Reports, Plant Information
  
 The most advanced software for irrigation on the market today are not very accessible to the general public, constituted by the majority of technicians who deal with the design of irrigation systems. Most of the time these are excessively expensive, with an interface very complicated and difficult to use. They typically have a laborious input handling, and provide impractical results in real installation management of the irrigation system. The majority of irrigation software study the approximate solution: considering only the equations of continuity and motion and not the third equation that characterizes the operation of the emitters. Moreover, these applications calculate only the continuous head losses (due to friction of the fluid against the walls of the pipes and which determine variations of pressure along the various constituent parts of the plant) and do not consider the localized head losses (which strongly affect the pressure variations along the laterals) determined by the presence of numerous emitters that cause continuous enlargements and constrictions of the passage section of the water. The most advanced software for irrigation on the market today are not very accessible to the general public, constituted by the majority of technicians who deal with the design of irrigation systems.
