Which free option fits

One photo and one question (what could this look like?): the 3 free designs here, or Neighborbrite's free tier, will answer it.

Feedback rather than a picture: the advice tool. Quantities for a build: the calculators. A scale model of the yard without paying: SketchUp Free, if you have the time to learn it.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free, or a trial?

The 3 free designs do not expire and do not turn into a subscription. Nothing is charged unless you choose a paid plan.

Why are the free designs watermarked?

They are previews: watermarked and at lower resolution. The paid plan removes both.

Is there a free tool for the whole yard, front and back?

The same 3 free designs work on any part of the property. The landscape design page covers front yards, side yards and slopes.
