What program do you use to help plan a garden/driveway and house renovation?

I cant picture things easily, so being able to play around with layouts and things helps me a lot - but something easy to use would be good!

Are you thinking a 3D CAD type thing thatcwill work to actual measurments because you can knock up a 2D sketch on MS Paint if you are just trying to visulise something.

I used sketchup free version.

Theres somewhat of a learning curve with it but in time you can draw pretty amazing things. A garden plot should be a simple enough and easy place to start too.

Theres a cloud based free version (which they hide in a sub menu) or you can download the last old version which ran on a PC on many websites. It s not readily compatible with the latest cloud version but it has a lot less restrictions than the latest version too, so pros and cons.

If your interested and can t find the links I can dig them out and post here.

Theres also an app which you can download th models you’ve drawn and saved too so really handy. You can take measurements off the app drawings too which I find invaluable when a tradesman asked me “how long is that xxxx” so I fire up the model on my phone and find out
