The 2009 ASHS Annual Conference

Computer-Aided Landscaping is becoming more popular with landscape companies across America.  Consumers enjoy the realistic images.  There are three parts to this particular software.  Pro Landscaping Image Editor, Planner, and Proposal are all separate software applications, but all three work together sharing information.  An overview will focus on Pro Landscape Image Editor.  This module produces a photo-realistic, ground level view landscape.  The landscape shows plant material after one year’s growth, five year’s growth, or even 10 year’s growth.  This software shows not only the plants, but also turf, hardscapes, landscape lighting, and what it will look like at night, along with text callouts to the elements in the landscape.  Advantages and disadvantages of this software will be discussed.
