We can help you quickly and affordably visualize your plans for backyard renovations, landscape architecture designs and other outdoor spaces
3D landscape design renderings can completely revolutionize the way you imagine and create outdoor spaces. 2D drawings and plans can be dull, flat and uninspiring. In contrast, the possibilities of visualizing your dream outdoor area in photorealistic 3D images are almost endless. With 3D renderings we can tweak every aspect of your project until the landscape designs for your backyard paradise or outdoor oasis are perfect.
Our expert CGI artists use the latest and best landscape design software to bring your ideas to life and to enable you to make informed decisions about your landscape designs.
Want to see how your outdoor areas will look at night or in different lighting conditions? That’s something we can do easily. Check out the galleries below to see the alternate day-time version of this image.
What are 3D Backyard and Outdoor Rendering Services?
3D backyard and outdoor rendering services are a cutting-edge approach to crafting beautiful outdoor spaces. They are used by landscape architects, homeowners, real estate professionals and marketers for lots of different reasons including:
Being able to visualize a project in 3D makes project planning a lot easier and ensures that all bases are covered
Backyard renderings easily allow creative collaboration between you and your landscape designer or architect, as you can see what your outdoor area, furniture, shrubs etc. will look like in real life before anything is put into the ground
It's hard to market a space that hasn't been built yet. 3D renderings fill that gap and allow marketers and salespeople to accurately showcase what outdoor areas in finished projects will look like.

3d Outdoor Renderings for Horticulturalists
For horticulturalists and landscape designers, 3D visualizations open up a lot of opportunities. Imagine easily trying out different landscaping features, being able to look at terrain elevation from different angles, or seeing how your designs will look like in different lighting conditions, all from your office chair.
Imagine how much easier client buy-in will be when you can get them directly imagining what the finished product of your designs will look like.
How do landscape architects use 3d outdoor design?
Landscape architects use 3D outdoor designs in a number of ways including:
Experimenting with different layouts and materials in their designs quickly, easily and affordably
Saving money by accessing large 3D plant libraries from our visualization tools, rather than having to maintain large stocks of physical plants

As marketing and promotional materials on their websites and social media
The benefits of landscape rendering services for landscape architects
Helping your reputation to grow (pun intended)
Your company and staff can more easily stand out as top industry professionals by using cutting-edge renderings in your workflow. Using this innovative technology demonstrates your commitment to excellence and will clearly set you apart from any competition relying on older methods like flat or 2D designs.
Attract new clients by using eye-catching 3D visuals In Your Marketing
Which do you think a client would rather choose:
The company with a boring website and social media, with washed out, poorly taken photos; or
The company whose website and socials use 3D landscape marketing materials that jump off the page and stick in their memory?
The right 2d and 3D visualizations of your work can captivate potential clients and leave them with a lasting impression that can give you an edge over your competitors.
If you don't have a lot of examples of previous work, renderings can also be used to show what you are capable of, as they look very life-like.
Supercharge your collaborative workflow
3D renderings allow much clearer and more seamless communication with your team, suppliers and clients, as they help everyone involved to quickly get to a shared vision of the final project. This perspective helps to create a more free-flowing, efficient environment where your ideas lead to a final product that exceeds customer expectations.
the Future of Landscape Design
Because we stay at the cutting-edge of our industry, we help our clients stay at the cutting-edge of theirs. One example are VR renderings that allow a client to "walk through" your outdoor designs as if they were actually there as explained below.
As technologies in the real-estate industry evolve you will need to keep up with the trends or you might get left behind! We can help you stay ahead of your competitors.
Virtual Garden Design: One of the Latest Developments in Landscaping
What is VR garden design?
Virtual outdoor spaces use cutting-edge technology to take your designs and landscape architecture to the next level by giving clients an immersive and interactive experience. Imagine sending a client a link to a VR landscape tour and having them stroll through the pool and outdoor area of your new hotel or resort from the other side of the country (or world)!
Why use VR when designing outdoor spaces?
Outdoor virtual reality tours can be set up to allow real-time customization between different plants, trees, objects or materials used in a design. This allows users and clients to become intimately involved and invested in the designs they're experiencing.
With lots of landscape design elements at their finger tips they can easily experiment with different layouts, materials, plants, trees, grasses, flower beds, lighting options and more.
VR renderings allow clients to mix and match different outdoor elements, giving them the ability to fine-tune their designs until they've created their own outdoor masterpiece. The buy-in you can get from this sort of interaction is priceless, and our clients report that VR tours increase their sales by up to 30% - 50%.
Landscape rendering cost benefits
With increasing costs of living, clients are increasingly price conscious. Making the right choices in landscape designs as quickly as possible is therefore crucial to protect your bottom line.
Using our professional landscape design services you can avoid expensive trial and error and inefficient manual processes. One of the best things about landscaping design software is how much it can streamline processes so you can maximize your return on investment.
How to Avoid Costly Mistakes With 3D Landscape Renderings
With 3D backyard and outdoor renderings you can visualize your projects in detail and identify any potential issues in the design process before they become major problems.
For example, 3D renderings could help you identify an awkward slope or places where tree roots might grow into drainage areas in a way that wouldn't be possible with 2D plans. Seeing this sort of issue early can help both you and your clients save time, money and heartache by allowing you to resolve the issues ASAP.
Backyard renovation renderings for home owners
It's not just landscape designers and real estate professionals who can benefit from our renderings. Home owners or owner-builders who are embarking on a new build or backyard renovation can also utilize our services to help them create their dream outdoor space.
3D visualization tools can help you see every aspect of your planned design in detail, from textures, to space, to color palettes. The type of immersive approach possible with 3D rendering tools helps you visualize and make informed decisions on layout, materials, plant choices and more which will help you get to create a better end product, quicker and more cost-effectively.
How 3D technology enhances garden planning for Home Owners
Gone are the old-school days of landscape planning by sketching your design ideas onto paper and having to muddle through from there. Our professional landscape visualization tools and services can be a huge help with your designs and landscape planning. Here are just a few of the ways our services can be of assistance:
A wide array of 3d yard features at your disposal
Many people come to us with pre-existing blueprints or mock ups and that's fine. But what if you have a vision but are unsure how to realize it? Our 3D yard design experts have a huge range of design elements at their disposal. Things like:
Realistic topography and terrain options
Different types of grasses
Different types of ground cover, eg. pebbles, sand etc.
Swimming pools and water features
Pathways
Outdoor furniture
Sprinkler systems; and
Plenty more landscaping elements and design options for your project
Using these features we can help you construct the perfect outdoor space. Or alternatively, if you need something that's completely custom we're fine with that too.
Comprehensive plant/fauna libraries
We have extensive plant libraries as part of our professional landscape design software suite. This library includes hundreds of thousands of plants and trees, from exotic species to native ones. This give you lots of design options to choose from, and you can trust that no matter what plants you would like to include in your custom landscape and designs they will be available in our plant library and we’ll be able to show you how they would look in your garden. Because of this, crafting the perfect custom landscape has never been easier.
Backyard rendering to save money
Would you save money if you could? We think the answer to that question is probably yes! Backyard renovation renderings are a smart investment that streamlines the design phase. It helps you pinpoint issues and make smart replacement decisions before ever breaking ground. By allowing you to visualize your project in 2D and 3D (with rendered ground plans and 3D renderings), you can make informed decisions about your project and avoid expensive and possibly irreversible mistakes.
The connection between outdoor design and property value
There is a strong correlation between property value and landscaping.
Would you prefer a property with a beautiful outdoor area, or one surrounded by a dirt patch? Which would you pay more for?
A creatively designed landscape layout not only improves the aesthetic appeal of a property, but can also increase its value buy improving the desirability of the property overall to buyers. Landscape design is therefore a critical part of selling any property, can make the sales process friction-less and your buyer’s more eager to close!
Do-It-Yourself (DIY) vs. Professional 3D Landscape Design
We often get contacted by people who are considering the DIY approach. Although our prices are very affordable, some people initially decide to try and do it themselves. We usually find these people come back to us a couple of weeks later after realizing how hard it is to learn serious landscape design software!
While trying to DIY your landscape design may seem to offer flexibility and the appearance of cost savings, the learning curve is steep, and figuring out the software will cost you a lot of time (and potentially stress) in order to build up the skills needed to make high quality 3D renderings.
Professional landscape artists have thousands upon thousands of hours experience which is hard to replicate. For a small price, you can put our experience to work for you in order to create something amazing, rather than pulling your hair out trying to learn how to personally create your designs from scratch.
What is the Best landscape design software?
As you might have guessed from the info above, in our experience, the best landscape design software is the one that you pay somebody else to drive for you!
Then all you have to do is open the files we send you with a simple click on your PC or laptop browser, ios or other mobile device, android tablet or wherever you'd like to view them.
Factors affecting landscape rendering cost
There are a number of factors we need to consider when it comes to bringing your dream outdoor space to life with our landscaping software. In general, our pricing starts from $199 per outdoor view, but below are the other factors we consider:
Complexity of the landscape design you're looking for
What features do you need in your garden design? Simple garden landscapes from professional blueprints are on the lower end of the cost spectrum. A classical Greek garden or Zen garden with a lot of features that require completely custom 2d and 3D views will be more expensive for example.
Output quality required
What kind of output do you need from our landscape design tool? The size and resolution of the file outputs don't always but may change the final price.
Basic 2d and 3d layouts or Virtual Reality design?
If you need a basic 2D (ground plan) or 3D rendering your costs will be lower. VR renderings take a lot more of our designers’ time and require more powerful software tools and hardware, so they're more expensive.
Project size
Larger projects with lots of plants, trees or a more complex garden layout are typically more expensive, as the exterior spaces require more 3d objects, more computer resources and more time to create. This increases overall project cost.
Number of revisions required
We include 2 - 3 revisions in each project for free. If you would like or need more revisions it can push the final price up.
