Design your garden layout online

A garden is easier to change on screen than in the soil. Our free landscape designer lets you sketch your plot and arrange trees, beds, paths, lawns and features on a layout grid, so you can see how the space will mature before you commit time, plants and money to it.

Good landscaping is about relationships โ€” sun and shade, height and spacing, movement and rest. Planning the layout first helps you give plants room to grow, place seating where you'll actually use it, and route paths that make sense. It turns a vague wish for "a nicer garden" into a plan you can build in stages.

Place plants & trees

Position greenery with real spacing so plants have room to grow.

Paths & features

Lay out paths, beds, lawns and seating to plan how you'll move and relax.

Try multiple schemes

Rearrange freely and compare different garden ideas in minutes.

Free & easy

No account, no cost โ€” plan gardens of any size in your browser.

From bare plot to finished plan

Start with the boundaries of your yard, then place features where they make sense: a tree for shade, beds along a sunny fence, a path linking the door to the seating area. Because you can move everything freely, it's easy to try two or three completely different schemes and pick the one that feels right.

How to design your landscape

  1. Outline your yard or garden boundaries on the grid.
  2. Add trees, beds and lawns, spacing plants for mature growth.
  3. Route paths and place seating and features where you'll use them.
  4. Adjust for sun, shade and sightlines across the plot.
  5. Save your favourite scheme and build it in stages.
