As I've used DynaSCAPE throughout the years, I've only come across a few things that were mildly frustrating.

The software is good and the customer service has been great as well. I would consider it the best, or certainly the top tier, of what is available.

When I have a question I contact our sales manager and either he will help resolve the issue or he sends my issue to the support department and they are pretty quick to help with the issue.

Excellent extension into supporting programs, colour, sketch up, etc. Fantastic customer support.

Great company to work with. Very responsive to tech support.

The Best Professional CAD software for the Landscape Industry.

An advantage to our business is that time spent on revisions is greatly decreased, which helps with time management.

Good integration with SketchUp and a fantastic 3D library. Tied into Manage360 for quick and accurate estimating - a system that allows you to properly recover overhead.

The ease of use and the finished product. I can quickly put together a plan and have the confidence knowing I can present a high quality plan to the client.

Just because a program automates some processes, if you aren't paying attention, it could get you in trouble if you don't realize a glitch in the system.

I like that landscape designs can be colored and are very impressive looking to clients. I also love that the designs can be imported into Dynascape Manage and automatically create a proposal.

Back yards are more expensive and should be for a reason. We had a hard time estimating this before.

The plans I design always come out looking crisp and clean. There are so many great things about this software, I highly recommend it.

One feature I like most about the software is the measuring tools. It's very quick and easy to calculate square footages on patios and walkways for estimating purposes.

My favorite part, and what impresses others the most, is the aesthetic of the final product, particularly with DynascapeColor.

The plant symbols are good and make the drawings look tailored to the landscaping. We only use Manage 360 for pricing and estimation purposes, it works well and the kits are a huge time saver.

Job tracking is dreadful. Not at all flexible and very confusing.

Great piece of software with a helpful support team.

Dynascape has helped me to provide my clients and installers with clear, well-labeled, and aesthetically pleasing designs to both help sell and install my designs.

Once you have used the software for awhile and have gotten past the steep learning curve it's a great software. There are tons of figures in the library that are already scale to your plan.

Best landscape design software, large learning curve + high entry level cost.

Cannot easily integrate pictures through M360 to generate plant photos automatically.

I like the integration of a comprehensive plant database and auto generation of plant lists. The color add-on is also very beneficial for presentations.

When a revision is necessary being able to quickly make that change and print a new sheet is so nice and I am thankful for having that capability.

It still relies on technology that was first used in the early 2000s. There is no intuitive interface, and it shows it age with the inability to seamlessly edit or modify any of the layers.

It’s very easy to build templates and pallets of plants to shorten design internally. The title block we built and the symbol combinations are clean and east to use.

I find it very odd that the plants are listed alphabetically by botanical name but listed as the common name.

Once I learned the program, I soon realized the advantages to creating my Landscape Projects with the program and started producing all my drawings on Dynascape in my Landscape Design Practice.

The software is easy to use, and integrates accuracy with graphic quality for an end result that is presentation worthy to the average person.

Drawing with the product is painful compared to others. It's not very intuitive if you are coming from other programs.

There is a learning curve, yes, but I believe it is well worth your time and the financial investment to get this software and test it out for yourself.

Need to be able to do templates yourself and not wait on the company to do them and pay them a lot of money.

Manage 360 is a great program for estimating and managing projects. Its integration with Dynascape Design is time-saving, which is nice too.

Actual functionality is limited in some regards and it is actually the programs ability to integrate with sketchup that is it's strongest feature.

Manage has helped us capture all of our expenses, overhead and profit in our proposals. Prior to having it, we were leaving a lot of money on the table and did not even know it.

You can use the program fairly fast to produce nice presentation plans. To me the graphics are important cuz it looks like a hand drawing as much as anything can.

The only this that Dynascape is missing is a 3D function similar to Sketchup.

Poor functionality in some tools (take off tools that cannot interpret outlines without cutting and pasting the polygon to the side and measuring it as a separate entity).

This software is very easy to use and learn. It is the easiest to navigate and the cleanest looking for the customers.

I have been a user for about 15 years. I absolutely love the ability to create precision drawings that are easily integrated into  the field for actual construction.

Over all, I do really like the product. It's relatively easy to use compared to AutoCad and its tailored to the type of landscape architecture projects I like to do.

Dynascape is a good entry software, and is adequately priced. I learned it at seneca college and consider myself proficient enough in it that I enjoy using it.

Trying to tackle learning the software alone was very difficult for me. It wasn't until after learning from her that the  videos made sense and I can utilize them now when I'm stuck on a feature.

It is very user friendly and helps me quickly create creative designs.

You can tell it has been built on to itself as new features have become available which can leave it feeling disjointed.

Totally worth the money if you can afford it. Great product and know many people who are using this.

Their training is great (with multiple ways to get trained), their support team is great and LMN is always looking for ways to improve their product.

Customer service, support, and proactive approach is outstanding.

The Time App is worth its weight in gold and has become an easy way to communicate with our team leads through pictures and notes. Invoicing is almost seamless when combined with QBO.

LMN is a great product made by a great company that is innovative and has been largely successful in the industry that it serves.

Their staff know the ins and outs of landscape construction, snow clearing, and maintenance. They offer amazing training videos and seminars and are active in the landscaping community.

The building a budget is an awesome piece to have to help you understand your numbers and help recover your overhead and make sure jobs are bid correctly. The pros really end there though.

It makes running operations so difficult. I could go on and on this missed opportunity.

The budget process is clear in the software, which generates profitable estimates. The navigation of the software is good, and the payroll and estimate sync options to QuickBooks are beneficial.

Over the years the program has become progressively worse. The features get harder to use and the functions are not accurate.

LMN has increased our business and enabled me to send out more bids in less time. The Customer Service is unbeatable.

This software guides the user to develop consistent pricing that is profitable for THEIR company. It helps them have confidence that the quotes they produce will be profitable if they win the job.

In short, it makes them run better businesses and helps them be as profitable as they can be.

Powerful Landscape software that works great with QuickBooks.

The CRM and estimating piece of the software is very easy to use and really helps.

Once implemented completely we will be able to operate more efficiently with less admin staff and a better knowledge of our profit margins on all our customers.

They are open to hearing new ideas and improvement. The company is invested in sharing useful information to the industry.

We're really happy with the overall experience with LMN, thank you.

It is so easy to use and I can create bids in 30 minutes- where it used to take me 2-3 hours on a spreadsheet.

Some of the reports are hard to customize to our needs.

How simple it is to build an estimate once everything is saved into the program.

Overall, the program is intuitive and easy to use. Quoting is made easy with templates and product catalogs customized easily for your business.

Great support team and many technical seminars all over country.

It has become very difficult to navigate. If it weren't my busy season, I would switch.

It is an all inclusive software, which all aspects included in one price. Live support is amazing.

LMN is the best software out there for landscaping companies. Not only is the system awesome, their team is fantastic and cares a lot about helping landscapers succeed.

Ease of use, set up items, labor, etc. All budgeting can be done through the software.

All of the features they offer and the fact they have all the training you need to be successful. Easy to follow tutorials.

Main problems would be getting foremen to use the timekeeping part correctly, and clocking in to the right tasks in a timely manner.
