in Garden design
I am new to this forum and need urgent help please. I have been trawling online looking for a FREE online garden design website where we can plan our 'new' back garden. We have had the whole area levelled and we would like to play around today designing what we want to show the builder/gardener.  I have tried the BBC Virtual Garden planner but it does not allow curves, walls or anything much really. All we need is an up to date FREE (or cheap)  2D AND 3D planner where we can plan using our exact measurements ( 11 metres wide and 9 metres long from back of garden to house wall). We want to be able to place curved walls, grass, paving, brick sets, and steps and plants and objects such as tables etc. Thank you all.

    Or draw it out on graph paper or plain paper to scale and use tracing paper over it to play with designs. I don't know of any free design software. 
    Remember to add in any drain covers that you may have in the garden. Remember a table with 4 or six chairs needs quite a big space so allow for the chairs to be 'out'. A table with benches takes up less room if you are tight for space.
