This is a great option for creating landscape plans. It fills the niche market where you don't want to by AutoCAD and create everything from scratch, but you need something more than off the shelf garden design software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I had only dabbled in AutoCAD before using Dynascape and found it very easy to learn. The library is full of great plant symbols and furniture to create a beautiful plan. The training is great, from the book, and dvd, to you tub videos and live. Once you get to a point that you can make custom objects, you're flying. Adding Color makes for an amazing presentation document and way cleaner than coloring by hand. I was so excited when they rolled out the Sketchup plugin and modeling library. #### Cons I would love to see quicker roll out of modern and updated outdoor living features and paver/stone products. Our drawings do need to reflect the trends. --- ### Simple is Best - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Marty A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall it has been good. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Estimating software is great and simple. Dynascape Design as well and is a good transition software if you are drawing on napkins etc. It is a 'dumbed down' version on CAD and much easier to learn. #### Cons It does have it's inefficiencies and negatives as far as using for larger projects and multiple page printing in which you may look at a more complex drawing software. #### Reasons for choosing DynaSCAPE We already have Dynascape 360 and couldn't justify the transition given that 360 is set-up already and working well for our needs. --- ### Dynascape review - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Janine B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall good. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It is Landscape specific software which is what I want and need. Scaling site/survey plans into the software. Export/import Autocad function is essential to collaborating with architects. #### Cons Symbols/ Figures that need to be added: Trampoline figure, Septic bed layer for drawing dimensions(Also Arch accessory label in Figures for septic), Water meter symbol, Electrical outlet symbol, Gas hookup symbol (for bbq, firetables etc), Sliding barn style door Rectangular pools with bathing ledge ; ie fiberglass pools Rectangular pools with various stair options Modern firetables in figures including 2D – round, square and rectangular…. Dekko style Better pergolas- modern styles in figures including 2D Kitchens components for 2D Generally, updates to all 2D figures to add more modern designs (ie 2D arbours, sheds, pergolas,gates); Very outdated styles. Better Fence symbols; amend Fence_B to look similar to autocad style with “x” evenly spaced along line. The existing Fence_A looks like too much like property line. Hatch patterns: add a selection of Techobloc pavers that insert accurate/to-scale in the drawing. This would make paver layout documentation much easier to create. Techobloc hatch patterns Techobloc Pavers symbols Rinox as well Enhancements: When rotating a drawing, can there be an option for text leader line to remain horizontal? Text labels don't rotate with the drawing when rotated. Have a Newsletter giving tips and tricks based on common questions Dynascape colour /pattern options are very limited; stone, accessories etc. --- ### Great Design & Estimating Software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Len H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. DynaSCAPE Design and Sketch3D are excellent tools that help us sell large projects because is look professional and helps client visualize our ideas. The estimating system along with Change Orders has made us better at estimating accurately and more profitable as a company. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Hand drawn look and feel of printed designs always look professional via proper line weights and figures. Excellent symbol libraries specific to landscape design. 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. A Change Order system that is critical to collecting project extras that often are left on the table. #### Cons The interface is dated and somewhat clunky, but it works. Not great for very large projects. Horticopia plant pictures are not great or useful. #### Reasons for choosing DynaSCAPE I have worked with DynaSCAPE since its inception (1998) and the goal was to build a landscape design tool that looked more like it was hand drawn and less like it was computer generated. That's been its appeal since. As the estimating pieces evolved they became one of the best in the industry. --- ### Dynascape Review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Seth M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Architecture & Planning - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall Dynascape has been a great tool for me to sell Landscape projects. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I like the plant libraries and export functions for quantifying and bidding. I also like the look of finished color drawing without having to spend hours coloring. I also like the ease of adding shadows in Color to give the 2D plan depth. I also like how the software works with SketchUp. #### Cons I wish the software was more customizable for individual users as far as shortcuts and custom libraries for plants and symbols. I know you can create your own symbols and shortcuts but it is a cumbersome and complicated process compared with other design software. I also really wish you were able to add and subtract nodes on lines and polygons and combine and extract shapes more easily. And while the color line fill in mode is great, it only recognizes the correct area to fill in about 10% of the time, making hand tracing of shapes before going to Color necessary, which takes a good amount of time on a large plan. I also do not understand why you can't show dimensions on color plans. It would also be great to fix the building tool so you don't have to worry about what length line you start on so the building will actually close properly. It would also be nice to have more and updated construction details for landscape products in the industry, or be able to import them for construction details instead of having to draw them. #### Reasons for choosing DynaSCAPE I am already comfortable with Dynascape and use it for speed. I do still use Vectorworks as well. --- ### Long time User - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: David M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The most impactful features are the great symbols and ease of the layers already set up and ready to be used. The detail that can be incorporated into my plans provides an excellent tool for my clients to understand and see our design intent. I also like the integration of the color as well as the 3D capabilities. Along with the program itself I have been most appreciative of the excellent support and customer service I have received through the many years of use. #### Cons Most of the designers in our office use AutoCad and I am integrating Dynascape and trying to get your program as our primary design tool. The biggest limitation I have come across through the years has been the limitations of using more fonts in labeling. I have brought this up a couple of times when I have been utilizing your support and was told this may be looked at in the future. I am new designer in an office where continuity of plans and presentation materials are critical and I have not been able to replicate even close the fonts available in AutoCad to make my plans look like the remainder of the company. I did relay that this would be an item to be looked at in the future. As a very long time user of your design software I would suggest that this is looked at to become high on the priority list. The font limitations have been discussed in each office I have worked in during my use of Dynascape. A second issue I have not been able to correct is new to my new office is the inability to get consistent prints of my plans. I have contacted support and have not been able to resolve the issue. I am thinking this is more on my end but I can go to a peer's computer and get great print outs and mine will not always print the detail in hatchings or patterns incorporated into the plan. Our printer has been checked with no issues to be found and I feel this could be a setting on my individual work station. #### Reasons for choosing DynaSCAPE I have used the software primarily due to the many features of your templates set up with the program, detail and great looking hates and symbols. #### Reasons for switching to DynaSCAPE The firm I worked for used Dynascape as their primary design tool and I enjoyed the experience. --- ### Cysilia's Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Cysilia S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall I really like the software - I tried a couple different software's when I decided to switch from hand drawn to a computer program and I ended up on Dynascape. I am really happy with my choice. I am now at my second company with the software and my designs only begin to look better and better. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love the ease of design. It has a learning curve - getting used to the controls, and the styles in the program - but I really value how easy my revisions are, how professional my designs look with the software, and how all of my designs look similar - same fonts, styles, title blocks. #### Cons The learning curve is definitely steep - especially from someone who was trained to hand draw everything, but it was worth while learning. I do NOT enjoy the Dynascape Color. I do not enjoy the overall aesthetic of it, and find it really difficult to ensure that my 2D is *perfect* before I bring it into the color. Layering properly, connecting all lines, all of those things make Dynascape color difficult to me. I have not experimented with it much, I truly prefer the aesthetic of black and white, so lack of experience and trial and error might be why I feel this way. #### Reasons for choosing DynaSCAPE Dynascape drawings just look much more professional. I also liked that it was CAD based and I could import DWG files and build right from them. I work for a lot of builders - so that feature was very important to me. #### Reasons for switching to DynaSCAPE Dynascape drawings just look much more professional.

Our experience with DynaScape so far has been great! 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. We have only had the 1 big issue with the 1 image file that wasn't compatible with Design Color and just 2 minor questions about the program/licenses. There has been nothing to complain about when using DynaScape. My team loves it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros What I liked most about this software is that it was easy for my Jr Landscape Designer, who had never used Dynascape before, do a whole drawing and colour within a week and a half. #### Cons There is nothing I don't like about this program. It provides beautiful rendered drawings and our clients are always surprised by how detailed the drawings actually are. We did have a small hiccup within a week of having the product but the support line was so fast to catch what our issue was. It was to do with a file we downloaded on google and input into the design color program. Nothing to do specifically with DynaScape itself. #### Reasons for choosing DynaSCAPE We chose DynaScape because it was the program I learned a while back while in school so I wanted to be able to implement it into my company. So far it has been the right choice because my team enjoys working with DynaScape and they love seeing their own finished product. --- ### Great CAD derived software for landscape designers or landscape architects. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ann B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Architecture & Planning - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I couldn't be nearly as effective in my profession. The drawings I can create using Dynascape are instrumental in communicating and selling to clients, plus communicating with contractors. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I appreciate the pre-programmed templates and figures that work well with my designs. This saved a tremendous amount of time when getting started. Thank goodness it can import and export CAD, so I can communicate with engineers and architects, and avoid unnecessary duplication of effort. #### Cons I wish they would develop a library of standard engineering / landscape architecture lines and symbols. #### Reasons for choosing DynaSCAPE Dynascape was much better suited for landscape design. --- ### Dynascape is a great product - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Architecture & Planning - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have always had a good experience with Dynascape and have been a customer for 10+ years. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy to use, lots of features, produces high quality end products for clients. #### Cons It’s a great product but somewhat cost prohibitive for small operations that are only design based, as opposed to design-build, or that operate on a seasonal basis. #### Reasons for switching to DynaSCAPE This was a much more comprehensive product with a better colour rendering system. It was also easier to use than AutoCAD in the long run. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 207 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/field-service/dynascape-profile/reviews/) ## DynaSCAPE Popular Comparisons [Aspire vs DynaSCAPE](https://www.softwareadvice.com/field-service/aspire-profile/vs/dynascape/)[Jobber vs DynaSCAPE](https://www.softwareadvice.com/field-service/dynascape-profile/vs/jobber/)[Housecall Pro vs DynaSCAPE](https://www.softwareadvice.com/field-service/dynascape-profile/vs/housecall/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/field-service/dynascape-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Landscape Software [Housecall Pro](https://www.softwareadvice.com/construction/housecall-profile/) **4.7** (2749) Recently recommended **499** times [FieldAware](https://www.softwareadvice.com/recycling/fieldaware-profile/) **3.5** (74) Recently recommended **112** times [Service Fusion](https://www.softwareadvice.com/scheduling/service-fusion-profile/) **4.3** (308) Recently recommended **84** times [Simpro](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cafm/simpro-enterprise-profile/) **3.9** (151) Recently recommended **82** times Stuck Between Options?
