Summary: Very buggy and frustrating
Review: My husband spends hours trying to get a simple layout completed. His biggest complaint is that every few minutes an error message appears and then the software closes by itself. This causes him to lose all his work since his last save. I bought this for him thinking it would be a great tool, but I didn't realize the frustration it would put him through. We used a similar software to design the interior of our house. It cost less than this one and worked so much better.

Review: Not user friendly! Look elsewhere. Continues to lock-up with windows XP. The packaging is deceiving. Refused to honor rebate (no leeway for mail time).

Summary: Incompatable with Windows XP Professional
Review: Program crashes with Windows XP Professional. Other reviews indicate frequent crashes with other systems as well. You can spend a lot of time learning the program and entering your specific plan, only to go "KABAM!" Really a shame, since there seemed to be so much potential.

Review: Spend the cash and buy Design Imaging Group, Inc software. www.designimaginggroup.com. It is expensive, powerful and works flawlessly. You cannot get good landscape design software cheaply. I have tried them all. Good luck.

Summary: Not what I had hoped for...
Review: The product is good for very simple ideas; however, more detailed ideas such as raised flower beds, various fencing, and plants are not located in the software or are not available. I would have liked more flexibility with designes which would allow me to draw over structures to have a more accurate picture of an item. I also did not care for the fact that I could not print anything from the software.

Summary: Won't see the CD Rom
Review: The program seems to have the right idea, but it crashes all the time and now I can't even get it to recognize the Data CD Rom while I'm running it. Real waste of time and disappointment.

Review: The program started lagging for me real bad after getting only a few things built. I'm using a 450 pentium with 256 meg ram and a 16 meg voodoo video card. The package came with a decent users manual and a small tutorial to get me started but don't expect to import a picture of your house and yard and start throwing shrubs and flowers into it. You'll have to cut sections of walls from a photo of your house, and remove obstacles such as tree limbs hanging in the photo and resize them to fit sections of walls on the house that you made inside the program. The complete yard will have to be constructed from scratch inside the program unless you want to use one of theirs. I was also surprised not to find the standard privacy fence and chain link fence in the fence section among other things. I keep going back to it and trying to give it another chance but the lag just kills me. On the upside. The program comes with a 90 day money back guarantee if your not satisfied.

Review: This is an extremely poor program with lots of bugs. The program often does not work, items added to your landscape often do not show up in all types of views, some "jump around" and become unattached to where you placed them. Often it is impossible to delete items that have been improperly placed. This product is NOT ready for sale. It needs a lot more work to remove all the bugs. This is an extremely fustrating and time consuming adventure, with very poor results. Further, the advertised "see your landscape in different seasons" doesn't work. I expected my deciduous trees to change colors and lose leaves. This didn't happen. I couldn't calculate my light for winter planting. I'm going to have to start over with other software.
