Southport Flower Show 2008
“Liverpool success Story” – designed by Arthur Ange & Constructed by Abel Landscapes
This year the theme for Southport Flower show was “Liverpool” due to Liverpool being the capital of culture this year. Therefore we decided to call our garden “The Liverpool Success Story”.
Wildlife Pond
The small wildlife pond was designed in the shapes of a human liver and with it being water this represented the pool. Liverpool first derived its name because the first people who settled here settled by a pool which came off the river Mersey.
Circular Patio
For the middle part of the name, we designed and constructed a circle feature out of Marshalls Eclipse Granite in the shape of a football, this represents the success that football has brought to the City of Liverpool.
Flower bed
For the last part of the name we designed and constructed a flower book which tells the story about the success of Liverpool.
This garden was awarded a Silver Medal and Durmuid Gavin really loved our unique design of the 3D Football circle feature.

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.”
