Landscape configurators
Modern landscape design requires combining nature and technology, so projects require not just drawings, but interactive solutions. An online landscape configurator allows you to transform abstract ideas into realistic visualizations. Using a program for modeling a site, site and local area, you can easily imagine a three-dimensional model of an object or work out a 2D plan in detail, optimize space and experiment with landscaping elements in real time. In the era of digital transformation, such technologies are becoming a reliable foundation for successful projects in the field of landscape design, as they reduce timeframes and minimize errors in the implementation process.
If you want to create unique spaces that inspire and surprise, show clients the most realistic projects even before they are implemented, we recommend ordering a landscape configurator. Our team develops new-generation 3D or 2D online configurators: interactive, fast, adapted to specific business tasks. The site modeling program can be built into the site or used as a separate service - to visualize projects, simplify communication with customers and automate routine processes.
What is an online landscape design constructor?
Landscape configurators are programs that allow you to interactively create and change space: lawns and garden plots, lighting, small architectural forms and recreation areas. 3D and 2D online plot configurator provides a comprehensive approach to planning.
- 2D configurator is a tool for creating a flat site plan. It is ideal for precise positioning of objects, working with dimensions, zoning and the drawing part of the project. It is convenient to think through the structure, make calculations and draw up a plan-scheme.
- 3D landscape configurator allows you to create a three-dimensional visualization close to reality. The user can rotate the model, look at the site from different angles, change materials, relief height, add plants, buildings and immediately see how it will look. The program for 3D landscape modeling will become a powerful tool for presentation and decision-making.
Both projections are often combined in one solution, allowing you to switch to 2D for precision and 3D for clarity. Such configurators work directly in the browser and can be easily integrated into a website, a developer platform, an application for architects or even an online sales system.
Possibilities of the program for site modeling
Modern 3D and 2D landscape configurators combine design, client interaction and technical calculations in one interface. Let's consider the functions that are most often implemented in such systems.
Realistic visualization
The user can switch between a 3D volume model and a precise 2D scheme in the program. The 3D projection displays materials, textures, lighting, heights, perspectives – everything that is important for the perception of space. In 2D mode, it is convenient to work with the layout, dimensions and technical parameters.
Flexible customization of elements
The online landscape design constructor allows you to place ready-made objects and customize each of them: change the size, color, materials, level of detail.
Working with levels and zones
The online site and playground configurator supports a multi-level structure, allowing you to highlight functional zones (rest, maintenance, play), set elevation differences, types of surfaces and infrastructure objects, and work with layers (lighting, landscaping, irrigation).
Automation of calculations
The landscape configurator helps to pre-calculate the cost of the project: lawn area, number of tiles and plants, cable length, cost of materials and installation. This simplifies the preparation of the estimate and reduces the number of errors in planning.
Integration with other systems
The landscape modeling program is easily integrated into your website, CRM, ERP or supplier catalog. Synchronization with feedback forms, personal accounts and analytics systems is also available.
Collaboration Interface
The configurator can implement a teamwork mode: the configurator, customer and technical specialist will be able to view the project, leave comments, edit elements or download intermediate versions.
Cross-platform and accessibility
Development of 3D configurators in modern frameworks with WebGL support allows working in any browser without additional installations. Adaptive layout ensures correct operation on smartphones, tablets and desktops.
What are the benefits of 2D and 3D landscape modeling in the configurator?
The online landscape configurator opens up a completely new format of interaction with the project, changes the approach to sales, planning, communication and provides tangible benefits to all market participants.
- Accelerated approval and design
2D and 3D landscape modeling in the configurator allows you to demonstrate various solutions to the client in real time, make edits without re-visualization and move on to project implementation faster.
- Increased trust and sales
Interactive interaction with the layout gives the customer a sense of control and transparency. He himself participates in the creation process, gets a more complete picture of the project, and therefore makes a decision on the order faster.
- Integration with internal systems
The landscape configurator can be embedded into a corporate website, integrated with a CRM or ERP system, ensuring end-to-end automation of processes: from data collection to generation of design documentation or estimates.
- Reducing the workload on staff
Part of the work related to the preparation of primary project materials is performed automatically or by the client, and managers only control the process.
- Versatility and scalability
Landscape modeling in the program opens up opportunities for processing a larger number of projects without increasing the staff. In addition, the online configurator can be used simultaneously by several branches of the company. The tool is relevant for different types of objects or target segments (residential development, parks, shopping malls, etc.).
- Reducing operating costs
Automation of processes and 2d/3d modeling of sites and houses directly by the client reduces the likelihood of errors, rework, financial losses and misunderstandings. Accurate calculation of materials reduces non-targeted expenses and optimizes logistics.
- Competitive advantage
Implementing cutting-edge IT solutions sets your company apart in the market, positioning you as a technology leader and a modern service provider willing to invest in development and service.
What companies need an online landscape configurator
3D and 2D landscape configurators are widely used in a variety of segments – from retail B2C promotion to complex B2B projects for developers, manufacturers or design studios.
- Developers and construction companies use the interactive configurator to demonstrate the improvement of residential complexes and cottage towns to potential buyers. The online configurator of a summer cottage allows a future resident to model their own territory, choose the type of landscaping, covering, park, additional zones. Designing sports grounds and children's playgrounds in the program increases involvement and simplifies the sales process.
- Landscape design studios are implementing landscape modeling programs to pre-develop concepts and present to clients. With real-time visualization, configurators can instantly demonstrate alternatives and make changes to the project quickly.
- Manufacturers of landscaping elements integrate landscape configurators into their websites so that buyers can see how an object (tiles, borders, lighting) will look in a specific space. This simplifies the choice, increases the number of requests and helps make decisions without the involvement of a manager.
- Online stores, marketplaces and eCommerce platforms offering products for exterior and landscaping of local areas, design of playgrounds and outdoor sports complexes use the configurator as an element of the online trading platform. It becomes a virtual space where the client independently creates a landscape project, choosing elements from the available range. After the configuration is complete, the system can automatically calculate the cost, and all selected items are transferred to the basket for further ordering.
Stages of developing a landscape modeling program
Creating an online configurator for landscape design is a structured process, in which it is important to take into account both technical aspects and business aspects. The AVADA MEDIA team includes experienced business analysts, UX/UI designers, developers and QA testers who can ensure a full cycle of project implementation, step-by-step and fully controlled.
Analysis of tasks and business requirements
At the start of development, we deeply study the specifics of your activity, user roles, expected load, element types and scenarios. Together with the customer, we formulate requirements, discuss the need and possibility of integrations, the logic of work and the program interface. The result of the first stage of creating a program for modeling a house and a plot is a clear technical task, which stipulates all the details of the project.
Design and prototyping
We form the architecture of the configurator: we develop user scenarios, navigation, controls, object types. We create an interactive prototype - a conditional demo version of the interface without full functionality, which will allow testing the UX, coordinating navigation and usage logic before the start of development.
UI design
Based on the approved prototype, we create a full-fledged interface design that matches the corporate style of the company or is designed in a neutral, universal color scheme with a well-thought-out color palette, typography, and icons. We pay special attention to the convenience, intuitiveness, and adaptability of the interface for comfortable work in the program on any device.
Development of software logic for the configurator
This stage is dedicated to writing the code for the program. Developers implement the configurator logic: 2D/3D visualization modules, editing tools, control panel, project saving mechanisms, automatic calculations, etc. The following technologies are used: React, WebGL, Three.js, Node.js, and if necessary, CMS or eCommerce frameworks are connected to manage content, authorization, orders. The goal is to create a stable, scalable and interactive tool.
Testing
We perform comprehensive testing of functionality and performance, adaptability and UX. Based on the testing results, we optimize scene loading, rendering, user action processing, and eliminate errors.
Integration and implementation
The final stage, at which the ready-made landscape configurator is built into the client's website, platform or application. If necessary, we synchronize it with internal systems, product catalogs, shopping cart or personal account. We perform the final setup and launch it into operation.
Training and support
If necessary, we consult employees or prepare training materials for the team. After implementation, technical support, functionality updates or scaling for new tasks are available.

-
How long does it take for staff to master 3D modeling of plots and houses in the configurator?
We develop the most intuitive interface, understandable for all users. We provide instructions, video tutorials or conduct short training for employees before launching the online configurator.
-
Is it possible to prohibit changes after a project has been approved?
The program allows you to implement user roles and project statuses so that after approval you can block further editing of the layout. This will help to avoid accidental changes and maintain control over the final version.
-
Is it possible to collect data on user actions within the configurator for subsequent analysis?
The configurator can integrate an analytics system that will record clicks, selected elements, session time, and failure points for further optimization of UX and marketing.
-
Is it possible to add new elements, zones or materials to the online garden plot configurator later?
Yes, the landscape configurator is designed with scalability in mind. New objects can be added to the system even after launch – via the built-in admin panel, by importing in XML/JSON formats, through integration with your existing database or external API.
-
Is it possible to export a project from the configurator to other formats?
It is possible to implement the ability to export projects to popular formats – for example, PDF plans, high-resolution images or 3D models for subsequent work in professional CAD programs. This expands the possibilities for using data outside the configurator.
-
Is it possible to integrate a home exterior configurator with a product catalog or supplier database?
Yes, if necessary, we set up integration with your catalogs or supplier databases so that users can select real materials and elements with up-to-date characteristics and prices.
