Some ideas on how to get rid of that awful slope once and for all. Proportions are pretty much accurate.

Google Sketchup would be the perfect garden planner if there were only more specific components you could download. As it stands, whatever you do it tends to become a bit generic. Plus some of the components you download are extremely high-polygon and render extremely slowly. Or perhaps it’s just Sketchup that is extremely crappy at a high polycount. I should probably stick to 2D illustrations of plants in Sketchup anyway.

I should really take the time to accurately model the entire garden some day. Just need to learn how to use Sketchup a little better. Doing slopes (or in other words surfaces that are in the same place as and connect to surfaces on another plane) for instance nearly drove me insane. As does the automatic "healing" when you draw or copy something on top or adjacent to something else.
