Best landscape design apps in 2026
To see new plants on your own yard before digging, iScape and PRO Landscape Home place trees, shrubs and flowers on a photo of your home. To draw the garden to scale and walk around it in 3D, there are Home Design 3D Outdoor&Garden and Planner 5D. All four are free to download, with more on a subscription. Details below.
How we picked: a landscape design app does one of two things, puts plants on a photo of your real yard, or builds a scaled plan you can view in 3D. We checked each app’s own store description for which it does, and for what is free and what needs a subscription.
Designing on a photo of your yard
iScape overlays virtual flowerbeds, trees and shrubs on photos of your home, so you see the design before digging, and lets you share it with a landscaper; its pro subscription adds proposals for landscape businesses. PRO Landscape Home starts from a picture of your house, comes free with plants and landscape materials, sorts plants by climate zone and shows each plant’s colour, mature size and soil needs.
Planning a garden to scale in 3D
Home Design 3D Outdoor&Garden lets you draw the garden plan in 2D with the exact dimensions of your fences and view it instantly in 3D, with garden furniture, trees, flowers, pools and greenhouses; premium features come with a subscription. Planner 5D has a Garden Planner next to its room planner; it is free with a limited catalogue, with a subscription for premium features. To measure the plot first, see land area measure apps.
