We are an Australian developer of landscape design software for landscape professionals. Applications and tools include:
gCADPlus

We have an emphasis on our designers being able to create sustainable designs by including tools to select species appropriate for the site and rate the design for sustainability. gCADPlus features an in-built database, but also works with a free ‘roll your own’ plant database. Comprehensive support is provided via ‘how to’ movies on YouTube, online help, and face to face support if required. gCADPlus is quality landscape software created especially for Australian landscapers. gCADPlus runs on Macs and Windows – it is free to try.

SppDb
A personal plant database application designed to work with landscape design software programs such as gCADPlus and GardenCAD. Store information about those plants that you actually know and work with within your local design setting. Use SppDb’s simple interface and search tools as a ‘memory jogger’ to find species that solve a particular landscape design problem. Add new species and update SppDb as you become familiar with their characteristics and growth patterns to build your intellectual property. Easily export and import data to and from landscape design CAD software such as gCADPlus and GardenCAD, companion landscape design applications.
SketchUp
It is possible to export an image from our CAD software tools, gCADPlus and GardenCAD, and import it to Sketchup, a free 3D modeling application. You can learn about SketchUp here using an online course we developed several years ago.
