ᐅ Garden Planning for Sloped Sites – Experiences and Tips

Hello everyone,

I need a garden planner that can also display a sloped terrain in 3D.

Does anyone have a recommendation? Unfortunately, Gardena does not support 3D or sloped terrain.

Thanks!

Best regards

I am very interested in that as well. Our plot slopes down on two sides, so the planning is not that easy. We want to first see what the options might look like.

What exactly do you want to visualize or plan with the planner?

Buy soft pencils and large sheets of translucent tracing paper. Draw the contour lines and use different sheets for different elevations.
This makes it easy to work and visualize.
A program that allows you to capture the topography of your property and edit it in 3D costs a lot of money and requires many hours of learning. Dataflor offers something like this in their software.
Free programs from OBI, Gardena, garden planners, etc., struggle to accurately represent uneven topography.

Thanks for the assessment! I’m afraid the paper method will also take quite a bit of time.

The entire planning process takes time. Developing ideas on paper always helps me organize my thoughts much better. This allows me to be faster in creative processes.
