Landscape Plans

Landscape Plan Maker for Landscapers

Landscape proposals win on the drawing. SiteBuildHub Draft's landscape layout tool lets you sketch the yard — lawn areas, planting beds, trees, paths, and patios — on a scaled grid, measure the areas that drive your sod, mulch, and paver quantities, and export a plan the client can picture.

Sketch the yard plan

The landscape plan template starts with a yard boundary, a planting bed, trees, a path, and a lawn label. Reshape the beds with the polygon tool to match your design, drop circles for trees and shrubs, and run the path where it belongs.

Labels carry the plant and material callouts — '3× dogwood', 'mulch bed', 'paver path' — so the plan reads like a proposal, not a doodle.

  • Lawn areas with square footage
  • Planting beds as measured polygons
  • Trees and shrubs as labeled circles
  • Paths, patios, and edging runs
  • Material callouts and notes

Quantities straight from the plan

Select any bed, lawn, or patio shape and read its area — that's sod by the square foot, mulch by coverage, and pavers by area before waste. Select a path or edging line for its length. The drawing becomes the takeoff.

When the client trims the budget, resize a bed or drop a feature and the new quantities are one click away. The plan and the price always match.

A better proposal in the same visit

Because it runs in the browser with nothing to install, you can rough out the yard plan on a laptop during the consultation. Clients respond to seeing their yard take shape live — and a signed proposal with a plan attached is far less likely to shift scope mid-job.

For grading, drainage, or retaining work that needs engineering, bring in the appropriate licensed professional; this tool covers the planning and proposal drawing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I calculate sod and mulch areas from the plan?

Yes. Draw lawns and beds as shapes and select them to read square footage. That feeds directly into sod, mulch, and soil quantities.

Is this landscape design software with plant databases?

No — it's a fast layout and proposal drawing tool. You label plants and materials with text callouts, which most residential proposals need more than a plant encyclopedia.

Can I draw curved beds?

Use the polygon tool with several short segments for organic bed shapes, or circles for round beds and tree canopies. It reads clearly at proposal scale.

Can clients view the plan?

Export a PNG or PDF and send it with your proposal. The Business plan adds client links for sharing drawings directly.
