Southport Flower Show 2006
This garden was designed and constructed in just 10 working days by the Abel Landscapes team.
The theme for this year’s show was water, so we decided to incorporate a large water feature with cascades and waterfalls. We also constructed a water wheel which was powered by the water falling out of the rock feature.
In one area of the garden, we constructed a hexagonal gazebo with a thatched roof which created a panoramic view of the garden. This was built on top of a rockery with steps leading onto it.
In the main garden area, we installed a circle feature which also gives a wonderful view of the garden. It has created a relaxing place to sit while enjoying the flow of water cascading down to the bottom pool.
At the very bottom of the garden, we created a still water feature where the water lilies like to be. To add a little something extra to our project we installed a natural stone patio in the shape of a “W” standing for water and a lawn in the shape of a “W” also signifying water.
This garden was awarded a silver gilt medal.

What Our Customers Say
“Absolutely fantastic! We needed a way to stop water running underneath a poorly designed automatic door threshold into our Property. Abel Landscapes came up for a site-visit and advised on the best, affordable and wheelchair friendly drainage channel, making sure the water runs off down the street rather than into our building. A time amd date convenient to us was agreed. When the workmen came I was very impressed to witness a throrough and professional pre-job brief -all too often have I had it happen that after everything was agreed on site-visit, then the workmen turn up and ask “so what needs doing here?” not having been briefed about the job at all- not so with Abel Landscapes: they were briefed not only with everything that was agreed on during site visit but also the technical aspects and details of execution of the job. It was a joy to hear a proper job brief. Then the work itself was carried out swiftly and extraordinarily neatly. The finished job looks so good and un-intrusive I had to point out to staff that it’s already been done and they were impressed how well it fitted with the look of the front of our building. Most importantly though: it works! The drainage channel keeps the water away from our building and we can finally replace the sodden moss-ridden carpet. Thank you Abel Landscapes! 5 stars all round from communication over design to execution -oh, and reasonable price – I cannot recommend them enough! I would use them again in a heartbeat.”
