What you need is 3D landscape software so you can visualize into detail what your ideas will look like in real life.
Getting disapointed is very easy because visualizing your ideas is quit difficult. Not to speak about the money it can cost you when you have bought that beautiful tree, dug a huge hole and then when it finally is placed realizing that it takes all the light out of your sitting area and your kitchen.
These are the kind of mistakes that are very common and can easily be prevented when you buy some proper 3d landscape software. In the end it will save you time, money and a lot of disappointment. The cost of 3d landscape software can vary from thousands of dollars for professional 3d landscape software to absolutely free in the case of open source software.

What does 3d landscape software do?
With most 3d landscape software you are able to plan your garden with the shape and design of your home and garden and suited for your climate. The expensive software make it possible to use scans of your home and the surroundings of your home to create a realistic picture. Other software let you choose from some possible home designs so you still have to visualize your own home into the picture.
You can select from thousands of trees, plants, and flowers to make the 3D visualisation much easier with 3d landscape software. You can even watch them grow by changing their age, or see what they'll look like through the seasons.
Watch out for the steep learning curve

Some are intuitive and have easy instructions while other can take you a long time if you want to understand how to use the software. It can be complicated to create the ideas you have in your head with the computer software.
