Garden Graphics, a developer of design software for the landscape design and design-build sectors, has partnered with Unilock, leaders in the manufacture of interlocking stone products, to launch the DynaScape Paving Edition 3.0 software. Incorporating many of the powerful features and all of the intuitive functionality of the DynaScape Professional Edition, this easy-to-use software was created specifically for the contractor involved primarily in the design and installation of architectural interlocking stone features. Driveways, patios, steps, retaining walls, planters and more can be professionally designed and presented with the new DynaScape Paving Edition. ?EUR??,,????'??The subcontractor plays an increasingly important role as the landscape industry across North America continues to grow,?EUR??,,????'?? says Garden Graphics general manager Everett deJong. ?EUR??,,????'??They too need to have access to the same kinds of professional tools that are available to the full-service contractors.?EUR??,,????'?? The DynaScape Paving Edition includes both design and business features. The design component includes a two-dimensional drafting tool, advanced, easy-to-use CAD functionality, Unilock hatch patterns and construction details, and an automated labelling feature to help the contractor produce a professional drawing as a value-added sales tool. After the job is sold, the construction crews then have access to accurate and detailed working drawings. The automated materials take-off feature, when combined with QuotewriterTM, the powerful estimating module, provides the contractor with an effective method of costing, pricing and tracking each project. ?EUR??,,????'??The days of ?EUR??,,????'??we make it, you buy it?EUR??,,????'??? are long gone,?EUR??,,????'?? says Unilock?EUR??,,????'???s director of marketing Ray Rodenburgh. ?EUR??,,????'??Today?EUR??,,????'???s marketplace is all about establishing and maintaining long-term customer/supplier relationships. Working with Garden Graphics to develop this software package on behalf of our customers, so that they too can provide their own clients with a value-added service, is just one way in which we can maintain a good relationship with all our clients and at the same time bring a new level of professionalism to the interlocking contractor marketplace.?EUR??,,????'?? Rodenburgh notes that Unilock considered a number of different software alternatives on behalf of their contractor clients. ?EUR??,,????'??The DynaScape product gave us everything we were looking for on behalf of the hundreds of small contractors that represent a large portion of our client base,?EUR??,,????'?? he said. ?EUR??,,????'??It is affordable, produces a professional-looking product to help contractors sell the job, it helps contractors to better understand their costs and above all, is very easy to learn.?EUR??,,????'?? The DynaScape Paving Edition 3.0 comes with a step-by-step video tutorial. Even the novice can be designing, quoting and selling driveway and patio installations in no time. This is the second successful software partnership undertaken by Garden Graphics. In 2002, the company launched the DynaScape Outdoor Lighting Edition in cooperation with Nightscaping, the industry leader that pioneered the low-voltage landscape lighting revolution. Both the Paving Edition and the Outdoor Lighting Edition or, the full version DynaScape Professional Edition can be purchased directly from Garden Graphics at www.gardengraphics.com. Garden Graphics software is used by leading landscape companies across North America and their DynaScape Professional Edition has been incorporated into the landscape programs of universities and community colleges across Canada.
