What You Will Learn?

  • In this lesson I will walk you through the steps of how to create and develop a 3D model of your dream garden within Google Sketchup. .
  • The lesson will require you to know the basics of Sketchup so some knowledge of the program would be great! .
  • If you are not familiar with Google Sketchup please check out my lessons on the Fundamentals of Sketchup and my 30 Minute SketchUp lesson below :) and my Lesson on Bathroom design in SketchUp..
  • This lesson is broken down into 3 main steps, .
  • This lesson should cover all the steps you need to develop a garden that you love. Your design can then be exported into images to show landscapers and gardeners to get the work completed..
  • I really encourage you to play around in Sketchup with different materials and layouts. It may take a bit of time and tweaking before you are happy with the way your garden looks. Again looking at inspiration can really help you focus on the direction you want to take your garden design..
  • We will use the 3D Warehouse within this lesson to allow us to quickly grab elements we want to use in our design..
  • I hope you enjoy the lesson, if you could contribute to the project section and share your garden that would be great..
  • Please leave me any feedback and follow me for more lessons..
