landscaping website- plan generator??

Question

I am trying to design my back yard, but my imagination is only taking me so far and graph paper gives me a headache. Anyone know of a preferrably free web site that will alow me to input yard measurements so I can "play" with the options I have?

Here's a free interactive landscaping website from Better Homes & Gardens. You'll have register to log on to their website (You don't need to buy anything or subscribe to their magazine).

"Plan-a-Garden lets you design anything from a patio-side container garden to your whole yard. Use your mouse to "drag-and-drop" more than 150 trees, shrubs, and flowers. Add dozens of structures like buildings, sheds, fences, decks -- even a pond."
