PROJECT SHOWCASE
ARC in Southport
At MJ Landscapes & Maintenance, we take pride in delivering high-quality landscaping solutions that not only enhance the beauty of the space but also cater to the specific needs of our clients. The ARC in Southport project was an exciting opportunity for us to showcase our expertise in creating functional and visually stunning landscapes. This project involved transforming both the lower ground garden beds and the top podium gardens with a modern, yet practical design.
Key Features of the ARC Landscaping Project
This landscaping project was a comprehensive transformation, incorporating a variety of elements that were carefully chosen to suit the design goals of the property. We worked hard to create an inviting outdoor space that blends aesthetic appeal with practical functionality, while also addressing the site’s specific needs.

Ex-Ground Livistona Palms
To add a touch of tropical flair to the space, we installed five ex-ground Livistona palms. These beautiful palms help create a natural, relaxed atmosphere and offer shade, perfect for a low-maintenance garden.

Artificial Grass Installation
We also included artificial grass, which is ideal for a busy commercial property like ARC. This durable and low-maintenance solution provides a fresh green look all year round without the upkeep of traditional turf.

Vertical Trellis System
The vertical trellis system we installed adds structure to the design and allows climbing plants to flourish, providing vertical greenery that enhances the space’s overall aesthetic.
Lower Ground and Podium Gardens
Both the lower ground and top podium gardens were installed to create a layered look, making use of the property’s natural features. These garden beds are filled with low-maintenance plants and feature a layout that maximises both space and beauty.

Drainage and Soil Installation
We took great care in installing proper drainage systems and high-quality soil to ensure the longevity and health of the plants. This step is crucial to prevent water logging and create an environment where the plants can thrive.

Concrete Border Edging
To finish off the garden beds, we installed concrete border edging. This not only helps define the garden areas but also gives the landscape a clean, structured look.

Turf and Planting Services
Finally, we laid new turf in strategic locations, alongside planting a variety of vibrant plants that add texture and colour to the landscape. Each plant was selected for its compatibility with the local climate and its ability to complement the other design elements.
Overcoming Project Challenges: Smart Access for Palm Installation
The challenge with installing the Ex-Ground Livistona Palms was tight access and the busy road nearby. The solution? We craned them in from a neighbouring property, avoiding road closures and ensuring a smooth installation. The video will explain it in more detail.
