HOME OUTSIDE®: Landscape Design for Everyone
***As featured in The New York Times, Fox News, USA Today, Gardenista, and more***
“Home Outside allows you to create intricate and varied landscapes. And when you’re finished designing your yard or indulging in a little dreamscaping, you can e-mail results to friend.” –Kate Murphy, The New York Times
“I can’t imagine a designer who wouldn’t want to have this on their phone or tablet. I’ve tried this app … it’s a great tool for a ‘quickie’ design that you can show clients and then refine as you like.” –Jane Berger, Garden Design Online
Home Outside® is a landscape design app with all the tools you need to mock up your property, create new designs, and share them with friends and family.
Ideal for homeowners who want to try out fresh ideas for their yard. Useful for landscape professionals to share designs with clients and contractors. Also perfect for children and adults alike to exercise their imagination and creativity!
Use Home Outside to select and place over 700 beautiful hand-drawn elements including trees, gardens, pools, patios, hammocks, driveways, houses and sheds, solar panels, and just about anything you might want for your property.
Features include:
• Sample designs to inspire or get you started
• Simple tap-and-drag functionality
• Twenty-nine palettes (700+ elements) to create your landscape design layout
• Resize, Rotate, Undo/Redo, Duplicate, Flip, Group
• Rotate elements with “Snap to 90” or turn off to rotate more precisely
• Snap to grid (elements stick to a re-sizable grid of guidelines, turn on/off in Settings)
• Rulers (visible at edges of design; zoom in to the single unit; user selects feet/meters; can be turned on/off)
• Choose from 15 different background colors
• Sketch Tool (allows users to draw garden beds and other free-form shapes with an eraser and brushes of different colors, widths and opacity)
• Map Tool (This mapping tool based on Google Maps allows you to outline your property and import the map image with measurements into the app as a layer.)
• North arrow (appears with Map Tool)
• Site Analysis palettes to mark the locations of your site’s utilities and light and moisture conditions
• Notes (allows users to tag elements in their designs with typed comments or descriptions)
• Light/Dark mode (changes Note tags and North arrow from white to black for visibility against light backgrounds.)
• Animated Figures (a palette of animated elements—a person, dog, cat, bird, and car—that move through your design on a looped or repeating path, adjustable speed, play and stop animation)
• Import a Photo as a layer (useful for importing a digital image of your property plan)
• Create different Layers of elements in your design. Add, delete, rename layers, make each layer visible/invisible, lock/unlock for editing, and reorder layer position.
• In-app Design Primer by Julie Moir Messervy
• Designs automatically save to the app’s Designs gallery
• Email an editable design so friends can edit one another’s designs and email them back and forth

3.1.5
2015-04-23
This update fixes a bug that affected users who paid $14.99 to unlock all in-app purchases. Those users can now access all of the in-app purchase tools and palettes. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We have improved the rotation function so that elements stick slightly every 90 degrees, making them easier to level. We’ve added a grid of guidelines that can be turned on/off, so users can line up elements accurately. It is now possible to lock your layers to prevent inadvertently selecting elements. The palette menu is condensed to make it easier to find the element you’re seeking. Enjoy a number of new free elements as well: lighting, fences, walls, and more. We replaced the Specialty Elements & Tools in-app purchase bundle with the Palette Plus Tools bundle ($9.99). The Holiday palette is now free.
IN-APP PURCHASES:
Palette Plus Tools ($9.99) includes:
•Sketch Tool (allows users to draw garden beds and other free-form shapes with an eraser and brushes of different colors, widths and opacity)
•Map Tool (This highly accurate mapping tool based on Google Maps allows you to drop pins at the corners of your property and import the map image with measurements into the app as a background.)
•Snap to grid (elements snap to guidelines, can be turned on/off in Settings)
•Rulers (visible at edges of design; can be turned on or off; user selects feet or meters)
•North arrow (appears with Map Tool)
•Notes (allows users to tag elements in their designs with typed comments or descriptions)
•Animated Figures (a palette of animated elements—a person, dog, cat, bird, and car—that move through your design)
Events Palettes ($2.99) includes three new palettes—Event, Wedding, and Party—with 50 functional, beautiful, and fun elements for planning your special event (indoors or out). Also included is a Counting Tool to help you keep track of the number of seats you’ve placed for your guests. From the tents and tables to the chafing dishes and disco ball, these brand-new palettes let you plan the perfect celebration.
Plants Palettes ($2.99) includes four specialty plant palettes: Shrub, Perennial, Grass, and Container.

T-bone Mckensley,
Great Utility
I’ve really enjoyed this app, especially now that I’m getting better at using it. It’s addictive!
Two things I would love to see that would be great value-adds and not too much development cost is the ability to stretch an object horizontally or vertically to slightly change its shape. Also would like more images to pick from. The object resizing works great, but sometimes I want to keep the width but extend the length, and I haven’t seen that ability. I would also like to rescale everything so that, for instance, the property shown is 150 ft long and 120 ft wide, instead of 180 ft long and 150 ft wide. I’m just having a hard time dialing that in, so I don’t know how big all my objects really need to be, or I have to account mentally for some conversion factor as I size my objects. There was some kind of scale thing when I first uploaded and blueprint of my property, but I can’t figure out how to get back to it, and I’m worried that all my objects would not adjust with it anyway. That’s why I think ithe option would be cool to rescale the whole thing. Otherwise it’s perfect!

Captain Oh No,
See my vision
I have been in the landscape industry for over 30 years now. I have used many different design programs during this time. To include expensive cad based programs.
This is a good basic and easy to use design app. Some clients can not see the vision of the landscape I’m trying to sell them. When this happens, I find this app very useful to share that vision.
There is a little learning curve to be efficient using this design app. Some may not even experience this curve. I can complete a design in about 20 to 30 minutes and either print it out or email it to my client.
I’m hoping they continue to add new objects as this will only make it that much better and easier to use. I would recommend this app to anyone who would be in a position to create new landscapes.

kjhsdgfjhhdbvg,
Decent but needs more features
This app is OK for general use for basic purposes however I feel like it relies too heavily on the drawing portion of the app to make up for its lack of features such as additional shapes and plant types and the ability to stretch an item such as a fence or Rockwall to a certain length. I also feel the interface could use a little bit of work like when I tap on an item and then go back it takes me to the main menu instead of back where I was previously. I would also like to see this app automatically update across devices.
incoherentDream,
Simple but awesome!
I’ve been able to use this simple little app for so much!! I used it to help set up where we wanted our pool built in our backyard to how to set up furniture on our patio once the pool was built. Next I’ll use it for the front yard as we plan to pull up our landscaping there and start over. It doesn’t have a whole lot of options, so it won’t be perfect but I’ve always been able to make it work. I prefer it’s simplicity and top down view to the more complicated and 3D looks of other apps.
Wts0004,
Good app
I like the app, and I’ve yet to find another app worth using as a way to manage my 36+ acres, but as other reviewers have noted, the app would benefit from adding the ability to draw shapes and structures of specific dimensions rather than choosing from pre-proportioned blocks and being able to draw fencing by converting lines into fences rather than the clumsy fence blocks provided.
I still give it 5 stars because it IS a good looking and functioning app. Perhaps I should give it 4 stars, but I’ve yet to find any other comparable app.

C_DUB79,
Great app. Nothing like it as good.
Which is my 5 star rating. Would love to be able to size things accordingly and not rely on preformed sizes. Also would love an update with new things. (More furniture. HardscApes. Etc. Maybe an outdoor shower ) hahaha. I like the feature where we can upload photos but finding good matches for the over all aesthetic takes time. Over all I love it. I’m about to re do my entire yard front and back and this was really helpful to see if the idea would work.
TS227713,
Could use improvement
Coming from a landscape designer’s perspective, the app could use a lot of work. The designs shown in the apps description are aesthetically pleasing however, from the limited time I have spent with it, it is almost impossible to create a drawing that is to scale. You can only use pre- determined objects for creating your basic site map. You can adjust the structures, but not easily create a house outline for example. You cannot snap the lines to the grid as in most AutoCAD programs to create straight polygonal lines. If this function alone were added I feel the app would be improved greatly.
BobbieJ 999,
Very good for beginners
I had very little experience but needed to make a diagram of our garden club’s plans for a garden at an island center of a state highway. DOT had specific requirements for the plans. I was able to complete the layout according to their specific guidelines using this app. Spent one evening playing with it while watching TV and I was ready to go. Not hard to use. Plan looks very professional and the other club members were impressed
ipatka,
Exactly what I was looking for
I have an oddly shaped house and lot. I love that I was able to take a snapshot of the house on google maps and use the exact dimensions to plan everything out. The built in materials and building blocks made it easy to visualize what we’re trying to accomplish.
Minor bug, I think you can only ‘sketch’ on one layer. I would like to be able to sketch on each layer for when the built in shapes aren’t enough.

soccorro,
Awesome App!
We viewed a sale house with 4 acres with a realtor last weekend. Afterwards, I used the “platt” map and arial photo of the property and property lines as the background in Home Outside:Landscape. Such fun! After I layered all the buildings and tree, plant, pond features and CHANGES that I wanted over the map and photo, I deleted the map/photo and now have a GREAT landscaping plan. (Although, were probably not buying the property ...it was a great way to process and see the possibilities.)
