Épisodes
Bordon
Tommy needs an extra helper as the team face one of their most daunting challenges when they embark on their biggest ever deck project - which has to be built on a steep slope. As Alan busies himself with the immediate task in hand, Charlie gets on with the planting and has a few ideas to brighten up the rabbit hutch
Luton
Louise from Luton is packed off to a health farm to allow renovation of her overgrown garden. The team get off to a good start by laying a resin-bonded path but disaster almost strikes when an outbreak of food-poisoning threatens to close the spa and Louise can't understand why her friends won't let her return home.
Chesham
A rain-soaked retirement home garden poses a challenge for the team as they set to work creating a tranquil space in which the residents can relax. They begin by removing the swing from a willow tree, adding paving and pot plants - but with rumours of a royal visit rife, confusion is sure to follow.
Great Harwood
A neglected back garden is transformed with a large natural-looking pond surrounded by trees and wild flowers. Tommy builds a new fence and pond-dipping platforms.
Harrow
The back yard of a terraced house in Harrow is converted into a garden of two halves - an English cottage garden with pergola and roses, but also influences from Romania, the owner's homeland.
Brotherton
In the last episode of the series, the team are challenged to revamp a plot at Lyndale Residential Caravan Site. They set about building a veranda and creating a water feature using copper piping, but the terrible weather and poor soil make progress very difficult leaving them staring defeat in the face.
