Sketchup http://www.sketchup.com/download. It's free and lets you print etc. Though it's not dedicated to landscaping it's still probably the best and certainly more flexible than the dedicated ones. You can make your own textures etc and there are plenty of ready made components/models in the sketchup warehouse.
Can take a while to get familiar with it though.
Cheers

I agree with LC. I find sketchup a great help.
