3D Landscape Design for Outdoor Projects: How It Works

December 8, 2022

Are you re-designing a garden? Putting in a new backyard? How about completely overhauling an existing outdoor feature? Whatever the project, it can be hard to imagine what everything might look like once it’s complete.  What if we told you there was a way to see your idea come to life before any work was done? Today, all those things are possible (and more) with 3D landscape design

We can take all the risk out of construction and know the following:  

  • The materials that contractors are going to need  
  • Where everything will go  
  • What the finished product will look like  
  • How a design would fit in with existing colours & surroundings  

So let’s explore how it works!

What Is 3D Landscape Rendering?  

A 3D landscape rendering will replicate the space you want to modify in a digital 3D format. From there, it’s possible to add different landscaping and plant elements, such as:  

  • Trees  
  • Plants  
  • Shrubs  
  • Walkways  
  • Flower beds  
  • Vegetable patches  
  • Patios  
  • Borders  
  • Outdoor furniture  
  • Decks  
  • Pergolas  
  • Gazebos  
  • + so much more!  

After the appropriate selections have been made, the client and landscaper can work together to build a beautiful arrangement that satisfies the client’s budget, time constraints, material choices and vision of what they want the space to look like.  

Benefits of 3D Garden Design  

The most significant benefit of opting for a pre-construction 3D landscape rendering is that you get a clearer sense of what the project will look like before the money is spent.   

It’s a big endeavour to remodel a garden or install a new patio. A professional contractor will understand this and want to do everything possible to help you feel sure of your decision while at the same time offering beneficial solutions to any problems that might arise.   

Sometimes a certain stone, wood colour, texture or pattern can look great in store or in a catalogue, but the moment you put it against the backdrop of your house, a fence or some other yard element, it suddenly looks out of place and unorthodox. By replicating your ideas in a 3D digital environment, it’s possible to mitigate such problems beforehand and avoid the major costs and headaches that can go with returning certain products or even having to refurbish a newly finished space shortly after completion.
