I have a client that is designing a garden and new landscaping in the front yard. She wants to find a program that can import or type in a boundary and has plants to insert at scale. I tried some bargain software a year or so and it didn't work very well. It would be nice if it was cheap or free, but at least it should be user friendly. I keep telling clients they can use a survey for more than building a fence or solving a boundary dispute but have failed to find a software that the average person can be productive with.
I had a friend [not software savvy] who had 2 packages he dumped on me to figure out for him. Neither was cheap or easy to figure out. My task was to figure out how to bring in an image (photo from on site) and bring into the project. I managed through it but it was not at all user friendly in the broadest sense of the word. I think I still have one of the packages with me and will keep my eyes open for it. don't hold your breath though. I don't recall where I last saw it.
