Planting Area linetype request

Does anyone have a custom linetype that reflects planting areas? Or perhaps a code or explanation of how to modify the zig zag linetype to appear to be more random and organic (I've tried a few modifications to the code but have been wildly unsuccessful)? Currently I am just using revcloud with variance but it is a bit cartoony and not very efficient. I am working with AutoCAD LT fyi.  Please see the attached image to get a sense of what I hope to recreate (or anything similar). If you have any other landscape linetypes to share it would be much appreciated!

If you're running LT 2024 which supports lisp you can try WobblyPLine.lsp on this thread:

@jackWUWEQ Linetypes in AutoCAD/LT can only be uniform

You need random and custom-shaped too: you'll have to manually draw those shrubs.

 

Or you can purchase less abstract looking content like these and others online

Thanks! that definitely gets a similar effect I am looking for...and will use it for now, but I am really looking for a linetype.  Maybe a way to alter the ZIG ZAG linetype to appear more random? I have a lot of planting areas in my plans and am trying to avoid running a lisp and modifying each individual line. I am hoping I can find or create something that can be scaled based on plan size and the line adjusted without creating 10000 vertices to move or having to run the lsp again for each line if the planting area shifts a few inches.
