Live Home 3D has a critical limitation in the floors and ceiling on each story are linked. You cannot design two blocks with independent floors. Move one, they all move. That makes it a no-go application for some users. Take a close look at this problem before starting your design.
They have a day money back deal, and I have asked for my money back. Chief Architect Home Designer has a critical fault in the terrain modelling function. It creates anomalies and errors so serious that the tool becomes unusable. I have a Mac and I am a novice at this sort of thing. Automatically generate a materials list or create cut and buy lists.

Not feeling all the maintenance that goes into plants, drought resistant or not? Why not create landscaping that transports your guests to a warm, Italian mountainside? Use boulders, as irregular in shape and size as possible, to create the walls the surround your yard. Exchange the conventional pebbles and mulch for rough asphalt and gravel. Garnish with wrought iron furniture and accessories for the ultimate effect.
If your deck blends in with your house, then trying to find a way to help it stand out might have you stumped. How do you make your inconspicuous deck the focal point? First, plant low growing shrubs and flowers at the nearest point to your deck. You want to keep the view as open as possible here. As you move further away along the house, choose larger and larger foliage. The eyes of visitors will follow the path of least resistance! You have soil that drains well, little time to plan elaborate landscaping and no time for upkeep.
Choose a few low-maintenance shrubs and place them in a repeating pattern until you fill the bed. Sprinkle in a few hardy primrose bushes between patterns to give it a splash of color! The rose bushes will want some attention every so often. But since the majority of your bed will be more independent shrubbery, you save a lot of time in the garden! Landscaping is a great way to highlight what you love best about your deck.
If you have a raised deck with beautiful exposed wood, those are features you want to flaunt! For the most part, you should plant low-growing foliage like hostas. The good thing about having such a high deck, though, is that you can get away with taller landscaping. You can plant a hydrangea or two without blocking the view or making your deck look short. Your deck is little more than a porch, but you like it that way. Trees are an excellent option! Japanese maples are great for giving a small deck an even tighter feel from the inside.
My tip is to leave the view to the yard unobstructed and plant the trees at the corners. If you have a small, elegant deck that is reminiscent of a palace balcony, what should your garden beds grow? If the style of your deck is more plain and regal, then choose simple and dignified foliage. Try planting miniature cedars beside the stairs and at every corner of your deck. Fill the remaining bed with short, quiet flowers to create a balustrade appearance. Hostas are always a nice choice and they need little attention.
You have a runway of a deck. It is where the grill lives, all by itself. The deck hovers over an even tinier strip of the garden bed. How do you go about landscaping that?
Select bushy, showy specimens that fill every cranny of the space. The fuller it looks, the less attention there is on your deck. The subdued, earth tones of your deck will not accept anything too loud in its garden beds. The perfect complement to the gray, brown, beige, or sage green of your deck is modest shrubbery.
And these evergreens are low-maintenance and keep their color year round! What kind of landscaping goes with a futuristic deck? What kind of plant pairs well with metal and glass? Your deck is carrying itself in this. The landscaping you do for this kind of modern design should pale in comparison to the design.
Choose small, mutable shrubs and flowers. You want to select plants that you almost want visitors to overlook. The landscaping you do is only to fill the space and give it a border. The real focus is your gorgeous deck!
Surround your deck with fescue, European beachgrass, or pampas for a tropical vibe. These wispy plants give your deck an airy, windblown appearance. Red verbena is a nice ground cover that fits the beach scene. Scatter in some succulents, like agave, and your tableau is complete!
Spruce up a spacious, uninterrupted deck with a few potted beauties. Petunias and impatiens are a nice domestic touch to a suburban home. Line only the outer edges to preserve the open feel of the deck. The border gardens should run in a similar vein. A few boxwood hedges is all you need to complete the look.
And the good news is they are pretty low maintenance! Low maintenance? Of course, there is! Grab a few bags of lava rock, decorative pebbles, stones, or gravel. Build it up to about chest height and use it to showcase an ornamental tree of your choice. It gives the impression of a larger-than-life potted plant, which is sure to draw the eye! A pond, even a tiny one, is always a nice landscaping idea.
All you need are some large, smooth stones to build up the edges of the pond. Then, plant a few clusters of zebra grass in the rocky embankments to give it a more authentic vibe. As a finishing touch, toss in some water lilies!
