Enscape is a rendering tool that can be used with SketchUp to create realistic renders of 3D models. Enscape has a library of objects that can be used to easily include realistic vegetation, lighting and furniture.
I use Enscape mostly for visualising and communicating interior detail, however recently I used the 3D rendering app to set out our Cotswold garden. The choice of vegetation within the app and the detail you achieve in the final renders, makes it really easy to create convincing renders that include realistic sun and shade positions.
