Beautiful design software for Landscape Architects.
Landscape Architects deserve better tools.
For decades, Landscape Architects have relied on general-purpose CAD and BIM software. Tools built for buildings, not landscapes. Critical workflows like grading and planting design remain frustratingly manual.
LandArchTools exists to change that. We're building purpose-built software that speaks the language of Landscape Architecture. Tools that understand slopes, drainage, planting, and the unique challenges of designing the earth.
Our mission is to give Landscape Architects the intelligent, specialised software they need to design with confidence, passion, and speed.
Design software should feel expressive.
It should be as intuitive and enjoyable as your favourite pencil. Every gesture should feel considered, every response immediate.
Design software should think alongside you.
Grades, areas, and drainage paths should be calculated continuously, never relegated to a separate "analysis" step.
Design software should stay out of your way.
The best tools disappear. You should spend your time thinking about the design, not wrestling the software into doing what you want.
Software for every stage of landscape design
From terrain analysis to planting design, we're building a comprehensive suite of tools purpose-built for Landscape Architects.

"The tools that we inherited from Architecture are not fit for purpose, they're hardly a fit for Architecture. My life mission is to build the software no one else is willing to build for the industry I love."
Built by a Landscape Architect, for Landscape Architects.
I'm Thomas Chapman, a Landscape Architect with over a decade of experience in the profession. After years of working with general CAD software and cobbling together workarounds, I got frustrated by the lack of tools designed specifically for Landscape Architects and decided to build them myself.
My goal is to build software for Landscape Architects that feels as natural as using a pen and brings the excitement back to digital craftsmanship. This is just the beginning.
