Winter Special

Hello everyone!

I think landscape design is a great holiday gift, so I am offering a winter special of 20% off any full landscape design package purchased as a gift. Please tell your friends as this is a decent savings off the full price for one of my designs.

I hope you have a great and fun Thanksgiving as well as a wonderful holiday season!

Thanks!
