“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 email results to friend.” –Kate Murphy, The New York Times

“The app gives you drag and drop tools to create a garden design idiosyncratic to your garden [and] allows you to choose hardscape materials, design paths and patios, and arrange furniture in your outdoor space.” –Dalilah Arja, Gardenista

“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

Garden design

Loving this little app and have been planning my garden for our new home. It has loads of features but I’d love it to get more additions for the garden. I’d like to be able to change the shape of the paving and lawns and shapes and maybe draw in some features myself. I’m having lots of fun though doing garden plans with this app and I’m looking forward to it becoming more popular and gaining more features. Metric measurements will be awesome. Thank you.

Missing a fundamental option

I’d like to be able to change the settings to metric rather than imperial measurements. Not having this option makes it harder and less enjoyable to use.

Good solid free and helpful app

Does what is advertised, ideal for planning out a base model for outdoor areas and unlike most other apps it’s actually usable in its free form, highly recommend

Way too basic

Full of promises but so basic not worth paying for. A handful of tools, difficult to unjust and a smattering of plants. Waste of money.

No Stars

This app only gives me a green screen. They have stolen my money!

Don’t waste your money.

For an app that you need to pay for, there isn’t many options or items to choose from. Very basic, I would expect this to be free or much cheaper. Don’t waste your money on this app.

Great little program

This is a great little app. It’s very user friendly and intuitive, and I was able to redesign my backyard within a hour or so of downloading it. I’ve tried several other apps but they were generally much less user friendly or overly complex. This app strikes a great balance between simplicity and effectiveness. As one reviewer noted many apps don’t really deliver but this one does. It’s one of the most useful apps I’ve downloaded.

Terrific time saver!

Is rare nowadays to download an application that does everything it says it will - and more! This is a terrific little app and I've found it invaluable in planning out the stables and outdoor living areas, fencing etc for my new country property. It's helped me to visualise and spot problems before I actually start the process for real. It's helped me to accurately judge how many fence posts I need per fence, positioning of gates etc. Can't recommend it more highly! Thanks for a true time saving application that has made a real world job so much easier.

Love it!

Would love a new update with some new plants and new trees to choose from Love it!

Very basic

Very basic. Rotating and adjusting object sizes is annoying and fickle. Apple Pencil is not supported. Basic shapes with not much variety. App crashes when I attempt to “Save as photo”. Regret buying.
