Sierra's Complete LandDesigner is a suite of programs that can be used to plan, design and maintain landscaping, decks, and gardens. LandDesigner is actually five complete programs that can be installed individually or as an integrated group. The programs are:

LandDesigner 3D: Create new landscapes from the ground up, redesign an existing yard from photos or add new plants and features. Over 4,000 flowers, trees, shrubs, ground cover, and other features are available to use in your designs. The program also allows you to show elevations, seasonal changes and shadows. "Wizards" and templates, as well as photo-realistic 3D virtual strolls called "WalkAbouts" are available and can be saved for replay.

Photo LandDesigner: Import photos from disks, scans or digital cameras and design landscapes with easy drag and drop features.

3D Deck: This program allows you to design and build single and multi-level decks with step-by-step guidance. Experiment with different styles, add railings, walls, stairs and other special features, including openings for hot tubs and landscaping. Decks can be viewed from any angle and can be exported into LandDesigner 3D. Users can also place furniture, plants and other objects on their completed decks. Construction costs are calculated and building materials are tracked as you design. A special "How To" guide for advice and tutorials on construction techniques is available at any time.

Garden Encyclopedia: A color photo reference tool and searchable database of over 3,000 perennials, annuals and other plants that offers care tips, climate suggestions and even audio Latin pronunciation for plant names. Multimedia videos are also available to demonstrate the art of gardening.

Garden Planner: A scheduling tool for planning your garden tasks. Customizable garden calendar and planner with automated reminders. ~ Tara Hernandez, All Game Guide
