The message
from "Keith Hampson" contains these words: I have just bought a new house and have a plain back garden, can anyone recommend some software I can use to design how I want my garden to look on my pc. A piece of hardboard cut to shape and covered with either green baize or that sticky-backed Fablon-type of baize, a small amount of soil-coloured baize for beds, cardboard items cut to scale, and ask about model plants in a model railway group. Move them all about until you think you're satisfied, then view them from base level. I have never seen a decent garden design program for PC. I've not seen one which copes with slopes or irregular humps/depresions, either. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

Regards Keith The whole trouble with using pen and paper alone is that you finish up with a design that looks good from a helicopter. I've seen a lot of gardens like that. My tip is to first decide where you want your garden to look best from and mark out proposed shubs borders etc with sticks and see what it looks like. then transfer to paper. Colin |
