Poplar (2004)
The team create a new garden for east London resident Susanne, who wants to connect her land to her sister's property next door. They develop a circular theme with a round patio and seating made from an old fireplace hearth, as well as adding eye-catching plants and water features. But they only have two days to finish the task before Susanne's sister returns, and there are three skiploads of crazy paving to get rid of before they can start.
Castle Donington
The green-fingered team comes to the aid of a woman in Castle Donington who wants to create a new garden for her grandmother, with an easy walking surface, a pond and raised beds for plants, as well as a gazebo to do the crossword in.
Croydon
The team come to the aid of a preachers family who want to transform their garden. Unable to proceed with the children's original idea of paving half the garden, Tommy Walsh comes up with an alternative plan - creating a sunken plot complete with large stone water feature.
Kingswinford
The team erect a summerhouse with a verandah and create a mini knot-garden surrounded by cottage-style brick paving for a family man who has packed his wife and kids off to a holiday camp.
Ilford
The team create a wheelchair-friendly garden, including raised beds and ponds, for an Essex woman with brittle bone syndrome. Her close friend had thought about paving the plot, but this proves too ambitious a plan for their tight schedule. Instead, they build a ramp from the existing deck and lay a gravel path on special matting designed to make it safe for a wheelchair.
