Overall

Overall I liked the DynaSCAPE program the best. It has a lot to offer, it may cost a lot of money but in the end it will pay itself off. It can do a lot more than the VizTerra and Realtime. I would choose the Realtime program next because it is very comparable to the DynaSCAPE program, it does not quit offer as much as DynaSCAPE. It is also not as expensive as DynaSCAPE. The VizTerra is a nice program to start out with but as the business grows, it does not compare to DynaSCAPE and Realtime. It does however compare with them as being a 3-D program and having many different tools to use.

VizTerra Program

VizTerra landscape design program can be found HERE

Just as with both DynaSCAPE and Realtime, Viz Terra is a virtual 3-D Landscape program. While the customer watches the designer create their design, they can switch any plant at a click of a button. It is easy switch everything around. Everything is also viewed as a lot site plan just as in DynaSCAPE. VizTerra is very comparable with DynaSCAPE. VizTerra can create terrain, with many different hills and embankments adding a real life aspect to the design. It is also very easy to add hardscapes, and lighting to the design with setting any time of day to the design. It has a lot of different light tools, and pool tools but not a lot of plants which is not a good thing. However a good thing about the program is that you can make 3-D presentations without having internet connection. VizTerra is a great program to use it is not very known throughout the landscape industry. VizTerrra does not have one set payment, it charges members of the program a fee monthly or yearly, for a month it is $95.00 or for a year it is $995.00. It is less than DynaSCAPE but more than Realtime.


With time it may grow and become just as big as DynaSCAPE and Realtime.

DynaSCAPE

The DynaSCAPE program can be found HERE

After looking through many different other reviews, I have come to found that DynaSCAPE is one of the best design programs on the market. The program makes everything stand out and look real, it makes the producers look very professional. Designers can make their designs look hand real, but at the same time they can send them through the internet in a click of a button. With DynaSCAPE you are able to create your own plant list and choose from over 9,000 plants. The program has many different designing techniques like Realtime, from decks, lawns, landscapes, patios, and walkways. However you are able to calculate areas and add dimensions. Just as in Realtime you are able to add photos too your program and create the landscape off of the picture. It has great hardscape designs also. You are able to copy and scan different lot types without having to re-do them. The program costs $2,995 it may cost a lot of many but it does a lot of work for you without using a lot of your time. The designs can sell themselves and eventually pay off the cost of the program. DynaSCAPE program is a great design program for anyone in the landscape industry.

There are many different types of landscape design programs out on the market. One of the best and well known program is called Realtime Landscape Architect. There are four different types of Realtime Landscape design programs but overall the architect one is the best. It may however not be the cheapest on the market, costing over $350.00. It has the photo feature where you can upload a picture and design off of the picture. That is always a nice feature to have so you know exactly what the after landscape will look like. Realtime Landscape Architect not only has great graphics but it comes with 3-D graphics. It has many different features too it and everything looks real. People could use the design program to design houses, decks, fences, landscapes, lawns, gardens and so much more. The plant list could be put together better and overlooked, there are many plants to choose from, however many are misspelled.Over all the rating of the program is a 3 star, but it is still a very popular program.
