With her can-do attitude, love of simple gardens

0:00:020:00:04

-and decades of experience...

-Hello!

0:00:040:00:06

..Charlie Dimmock is one of Britain's best-loved gardeners.

0:00:060:00:09

Looking good, boys.

0:00:090:00:12

But the new kids on the gardening block are the Rich brothers.

0:00:120:00:15

We want to be the brothers

0:00:150:00:17

that change people's perceptions of gardens.

0:00:170:00:19

Winners of multiple medals at the Chelsea Flower Show...

0:00:190:00:22

-Oh, wow.

-Oh, good turn.

-That's amazing, isn't it?

0:00:220:00:24

..the boys have become known for their dramatic outdoor spaces.

0:00:240:00:30

Now these two different generations of gardening

0:00:300:00:33

are going head-to-head.

0:00:330:00:34

I know they've got a gold medal, but I can come up with a few ideas.

0:00:340:00:38

They're meeting frustrated garden owners across the country...

0:00:380:00:42

The photos made it look tiny. It is, isn't it?

0:00:420:00:45

-I'm sure you've seen larger.

-I don't know what to do with it.

0:00:450:00:48

-..and will each pitch them a design based on their needs...

-Wow.

0:00:480:00:52

..and budget.

0:00:520:00:53

-It looks really exciting.

-It doesn't look like it could be our garden.

0:00:530:00:56

-The winner...

-Woo.

0:00:560:00:58

-Woo.

-Yeah.

0:00:580:00:59

..brings their design to life...

0:00:590:01:02

-Hold on, hold on.

-Sweet as a nut.

0:01:020:01:04

..and the loser has to help them build it.

0:01:040:01:07

Oh, I'm getting irritated now with sort of faffing around.

0:01:070:01:10

-This is what happens...

-Does he ever get irritating?

-All the time.

0:01:100:01:14

-..when different styles collide...

-Who chose these?

-One, two, three.

0:01:140:01:19

-This looks like your design.

-Yeah.

-Wa-hey!

0:01:190:01:22

-..to turn garden dreams into reality.

-Wow.

-Wow.

0:01:220:01:26

-Open your eyes.

-Wow.

0:01:260:01:29

It's amazing.

0:01:290:01:31

It's beautiful.

0:01:310:01:32

So, whose garden will Charlie and the Rich brothers,

0:01:380:01:41

be competing over today?

0:01:410:01:44

We've heard from Christine and Clive.

0:01:440:01:46

They're a retired couple, they've just moved into their new home.

0:01:460:01:49

Oh, it looks brand spanking new, as well, doesn't it?

0:01:490:01:51

Christine and Clive hail from Fleet, they met in 1969

0:01:510:01:56

at a social club and have been happily married for 45 years.

0:01:560:02:00

'Clive used to belong'

0:02:010:02:03

to a club called 18+.

0:02:030:02:05

'Well, it was a very, very hot summer,

0:02:050:02:08

'so I suggested that a crowd'

0:02:080:02:10

went up to the open-air theatre in Regent's Park,

0:02:100:02:13

only one person turned up

0:02:130:02:15

'and I've still got the programme upstairs framed'

0:02:150:02:18

with the date on it.

0:02:180:02:20

That was our first date.

0:02:200:02:22

Four decades and five houses and gardens later,

0:02:230:02:26

the couple have decided to scale down.

0:02:260:02:29

'There was a big area in the garden in our last house.

0:02:290:02:32

'We realised that the knees weren't going to particularly improve.

0:02:320:02:37

-'Knees and back.

-And we wanted'

0:02:370:02:40

a flat, easier to manage

0:02:400:02:43

and easier to access garden.

0:02:430:02:45

They moved into their new-built home five months ago

0:02:450:02:48

and as they are the first residents,

0:02:480:02:51

the garden is as the developers left it.

0:02:510:02:54

Their previous garden used to be quite well-stocked -

0:02:540:02:57

it was large, full of things...

0:02:570:02:58

-CHARLIE LAUGHS

-This one's not.

0:02:580:02:59

-So, what a contrast.

-One pot, two pot.

0:02:590:03:04

Nothing.

0:03:040:03:05

The couple are looking for a garden that works

0:03:070:03:10

with their new pace of life.

0:03:100:03:12

Christine likes a garden to potter in. She's definitely a potterer.

0:03:120:03:16

As long as I can grow some tomatoes,

0:03:160:03:18

some runner beans and a few herbs and salad staff - that's fine.

0:03:180:03:23

And we want to be able to relax and have friends round

0:03:230:03:26

and that's where I want to be able to have a snooze

0:03:260:03:28

when it does get sunny.

0:03:280:03:29

These guys love contemporary and they love the idea

0:03:290:03:32

of having a bit more of an adult space with a real wow factor.

0:03:320:03:36

Yeah, I bet you think you've got it sewn up, don't you?

0:03:360:03:39

-I never think that...

-I do contemporary so well.

0:03:390:03:43

It's the openness and the light that we like from this house,

0:03:440:03:48

which was one of the reasons why we bought it.

0:03:480:03:51

What we want out of the garden is for it to be an extension

0:03:510:03:55

of the house.

0:03:550:03:56

But that's not all the team have to contend with.

0:03:560:04:00

We live in quite close proximity to other people's homes.

0:04:000:04:04

And as much as we love them, it would nice to have some privacy.

0:04:040:04:10

But instant privacy in a garden that is so overlooked

0:04:100:04:13

doesn't come cheap.

0:04:130:04:15

We've allowed a budget of £7,000.

0:04:150:04:18

It's quite a lot, but like you said, it's quite a blank canvas,

0:04:180:04:21

so we're going to have to really bring everything.

0:04:210:04:23

We've got a lot of scope, though.

0:04:230:04:25

-I think these guys need a bit of zhoosh with their ideas.

-Yeah.

0:04:250:04:28

-Have you got a lot of zhoosh, have you?

-Oh, tons of it.

0:04:280:04:32

This garden may have a healthy budget,

0:04:320:04:35

But with not much else in there, the team have to give them

0:04:350:04:37

everything and starting from scratch will be costly.

0:04:370:04:41

With a garden challenge in hand, Charlie and the brothers are heading

0:04:430:04:47

to Fleet to find out how Christine and Clive see the garden...

0:04:470:04:51

So, here's the garden.

0:04:520:04:55

..and to assess how the look of their house

0:04:550:04:57

could influence their design.

0:04:570:04:59

It's nice and light in here, isn't it?

0:05:000:05:01

-Very nice, yeah.

-Quite clean, quite modern.

-Yeah, definitely.

0:05:010:05:04

-Not a lot is going on, Clive, is there?

-Not a lot.

-A bare canvas.

0:05:040:05:10

-Hmm. Cos you've not been here that long, have you?

-No.

0:05:100:05:13

-So this is quite exciting to you?

-It is very exciting,

0:05:130:05:17

very exciting, but also quite scary having such a flat, blank square.

0:05:170:05:23

-It is very flat.

-Where do you start?

0:05:230:05:25

See, that's my feeling.

0:05:250:05:27

This is a really lovely piece of furniture,

0:05:270:05:29

-the warmth of the wood...

-It is nice.

0:05:290:05:31

Really modern, really contemporary style with the horizontal slats.

0:05:310:05:34

Definitely use this in, like, a screening.

0:05:340:05:36

Or maybe, like, raised beds,

0:05:360:05:37

something like that would give a really nice, contemporary detail.

0:05:370:05:40

I think that the style is a little...

0:05:400:05:42

We would like it a little bit more formal, little bit more structured.

0:05:420:05:45

But one of the things I think would be lovely

0:05:450:05:48

is to have something with a wow factor.

0:05:480:05:50

I feel we need a little shady area, somewhere to sit,

0:05:500:05:53

because it is a south-facing garden.

0:05:530:05:56

But hopefully an area out here where we can eat as well.

0:05:560:05:59

So, I kind of get this...it needs to be quite uncluttered...

0:05:590:06:02

-Yeah.

-..quite modern.

-Mm-hm.

-Everything kind of has a reason,

0:06:020:06:05

cos everything here is kind of located nicely, isn't it?

0:06:050:06:08

So, we're saying formal, contemporary, wow factor,

0:06:100:06:13

socialising area, but to blank out some of the houses a bit

0:06:130:06:17

and a bit to do in the garden.

0:06:170:06:19

-Yeah.

-You've got it in one.

0:06:190:06:21

Well, that's the brief.

0:06:220:06:24

Now it's time for Charlie and the boys to get creative.

0:06:270:06:30

They each have to come up with a design

0:06:320:06:35

for Christine and Clive's garden,

0:06:350:06:37

then pitch it to the couple who will choose a winning design to be built.

0:06:370:06:41

But it's not over for the loser as they'll be at the beck and call

0:06:420:06:45

of the winner, helping them bring their design to life.

0:06:450:06:49

Charlie's passion for flora may appeal to gardener Christine and her

0:06:520:06:57

-love of pottering in the garden.

-This is exciting.

0:06:570:07:00

-Hello.

-Hello, hello.

-Hi.

-Hi, guys.

0:07:010:07:04

But the boys' more modern style could swing it in their favour.

0:07:040:07:08

It's time for the big pitch.

0:07:080:07:11

We realise that we needed to give you a very modern,

0:07:110:07:13

very stylish garden,

0:07:130:07:14

but that definitely draw on quite traditional values.

0:07:140:07:17

So, something that had a balance between the two.

0:07:170:07:19

So, the main features in this garden are the raised beds you can see here

0:07:190:07:23

and they're made up of horizontal slatted wood,

0:07:230:07:26

-similar to some of the features in your living room.

-Yeah.

0:07:260:07:28

So, that's just got a really nice, clean contemporary look.

0:07:280:07:32

You've already got this one patch of area,

0:07:320:07:34

but we wanted to give you one in the middle of the garden,

0:07:340:07:37

so you really feel kind of surrounded by the garden.

0:07:370:07:39

-Oh, wow.

-Right.

0:07:420:07:45

-Oh, I like that.

-Wow.

0:07:450:07:49

My feeling is to keep the garden very simple and structured.

0:07:490:07:53

Now, this area here, this is the socialising area.

0:07:530:07:58

This is a very chunky, simple deck, oak deck,

0:07:580:08:03

so you would step up onto it.

0:08:030:08:06

And this is a canal of water with a feature at the end,

0:08:060:08:10

so it's shallow water,

0:08:100:08:11

we can put dye in it to make it reflective like a mirror...

0:08:110:08:15

-Wow.

-..which can look really wow.

-I've never thought of that.

0:08:150:08:18

The boys' design is very subtle,

0:08:200:08:22

but Charlie's thrown everything at hers and it's going down well.

0:08:220:08:26

But it's not over yet, the boys have answers to the privacy issue...

0:08:260:08:31

We've located four different trees in this garden,

0:08:310:08:34

which we feel will help with the privacy,

0:08:340:08:36

juts by bringing the trees a little bit closer

0:08:360:08:38

so that you can be amongst the trees,

0:08:380:08:40

but when you look out, it completely blocks off the views

0:08:400:08:44

from the upper windows of the houses.

0:08:440:08:46

But Charlie's thought of that too.

0:08:460:08:49

So, to screen out the bits that you don't want to see,

0:08:490:08:53

I've got large shrubs around the perimeter,

0:08:530:08:56

strategically placed and this is just a very straightforward,

0:08:560:09:00

simple pergola

0:09:000:09:02

so that the people behind here can't look in when you're sitting out.

0:09:020:09:07

Both designers have also considered Christine's love of gardening.

0:09:070:09:11

-We've got low topiarised box hedging.

-Oh, right.

0:09:130:09:16

-That's different.

-And that sits on the outside of the raised beds

0:09:160:09:19

and that's great because it softens it.

0:09:190:09:22

-They're relatively easy to maintain as well?

-Really easy.

0:09:220:09:24

Yeah, good fun, you can cut it if you like,

0:09:240:09:26

you can let it grow higher if you like.

0:09:260:09:28

With the planting here...

0:09:280:09:30

Lots and lots of box balls that we then interplant.

0:09:300:09:33

Oh, I like that.

0:09:330:09:35

Now, I've got them random, I quite like that.

0:09:350:09:37

And then this is a raised bed.

0:09:370:09:40

Now, I've left it all for vegetables.

0:09:400:09:42

What looks quite amazing

0:09:420:09:44

is mixing your vegetables with your ornamentals,

0:09:440:09:47

-you can make a really...

-I like that idea.

0:09:470:09:49

Christine and Clive appear impressed,

0:09:490:09:52

but they have some questions.

0:09:520:09:55

So, how high would you say the topiary hedge is?

0:09:550:09:59

-Head height.

-Oh, that high?

-No, I'm just joking.

0:09:590:10:02

-No... Joking.

-About 50cm...

-It would take 20 years.

0:10:020:10:06

It'll be about 40 to 50 centimetres. So, like, knee height.

0:10:080:10:11

-That kind of thing.

-Knee height.

0:10:110:10:14

Paving slabs - they're an absolute pain to cut around.

0:10:140:10:18

So, if possible, it would be great if that could be changed into

0:10:180:10:21

a dedicated path without grass between...

0:10:210:10:24

We can do that. Yes, that saves the budget even more,

0:10:240:10:27

so we can spend it elsewhere.

0:10:270:10:30

The pitch is over.

0:10:310:10:34

Now it's up to Christine and Clive.

0:10:340:10:37

And this, I would never have thought of having a long water feature.

0:10:370:10:41

Very clever.

0:10:410:10:43

Which obviously elongates the garden, so that's a very clever...

0:10:430:10:46

A concern is the positioning of this pergola,

0:10:460:10:49

because that would, in fact, not create very much shade.

0:10:490:10:53

We can perhaps turn it round the other way?

0:10:530:10:55

-I thought this was genius...

-Stunning.

0:10:550:10:57

..in terms of bringing these trees nearer to the house...

0:10:570:11:00

-Exactly, rather than around the edge.

-..to create privacy.

0:11:000:11:04

-And I love this way of doing the raised beds...

-Yeah.

0:11:040:11:08

-..partly with the boxed...

-But is there going to be enough...?

0:11:080:11:11

-That seating area you can move...

-Yeah.

0:11:110:11:15

-..in terms of where the shade is.

-Yeah.

0:11:150:11:17

The couple want a garden with the wow factor.

0:11:170:11:20

So, which design has it?

0:11:200:11:22

-Really difficult decision, how on earth do we decide?

-Yeah.

0:11:220:11:27

Will they go for the boys' formal, subtle design with extra patio,

0:11:270:11:31

raised beds and trees for privacy?

0:11:310:11:34

Or Charlie's chunky oak deck,

0:11:340:11:37

contemporary water feature and topiary balls?

0:11:370:11:39

So, so difficult, love them both. Really love them both.

0:11:410:11:45

But at the end of the day, the one we have chosen is...

0:11:450:11:49

-Ah, Charlie...

-Nice. Well done.

0:11:520:11:54

-Good, I get to do a water feature, yes! Your favourite.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:11:540:12:01

But Christine and Clive want to tweak Charlie's design.

0:12:010:12:04

-We need to tweak the path a bit so...

-And the pergola.

0:12:040:12:08

And the pergola - that's just twist it round sun-wise.

0:12:080:12:13

-But, yes...

-But thank you both.

0:12:130:12:15

And we get to see more of you, Charlie.

0:12:150:12:17

-And the boys, I can't do it on my own.

-And the boys, yes.

0:12:170:12:21

Great. You make a great team.

0:12:210:12:23

It's an early start for the team in Fleet.

0:12:320:12:35

Charlie's away ordering some of the large plants that Clive and

0:12:370:12:40

Christine's seven grand budget has enabled her to buy.

0:12:400:12:44

So, it's down to project manager Kate and landscapers

0:12:460:12:49

Scott, Adam and Mark to get on with the prep.

0:12:490:12:51

Just marking out - no problems, just solutions.

0:12:530:12:57

There's an awful lot of landscaping to do,

0:12:570:12:59

so Charlie's made sure there's a digger on site to shoulder

0:12:590:13:02

the heavy work...if they can get it into the garden.

0:13:020:13:06

HE SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY

0:13:080:13:11

To give the clients the wow factor they were looking for,

0:13:110:13:15

Charlie has jam-packed her design with features.

0:13:150:13:18

So, while Scott cracks on with digging out the water feature,

0:13:200:13:24

Adam assembles a subframe for the rectangular deck.

0:13:240:13:27

And we've got lovely hardwood.

0:13:290:13:31

It's called balau, and it's really beautiful.

0:13:310:13:33

Lovely red tinge.

0:13:330:13:35

Because the plot is a rectangular shape,

0:13:350:13:37

the boys don't have to create a bespoke deck.

0:13:370:13:40

Charlie has ordered a kit of parts, so it should be an easier job.

0:13:400:13:45

Oh, look at that. You've got lovely lines from the timbers.

0:13:450:13:49

-OK.

-Yeah, that's fine.

-Down.

0:13:490:13:52

-Beautiful.

-Lovely, lovely.

0:13:520:13:54

Charlie's water feature really caught Christine and Clive's eye.

0:13:560:13:59

Situated towards the rear of the garden,

0:13:590:14:02

this will be a real focal point.

0:14:020:14:04

Charlie's opted to build a traditional rill

0:14:060:14:09

but is planning to add a fountain at one end to create movement.

0:14:090:14:13

It's really crucial to get your levels right

0:14:130:14:15

when you're building a rill,

0:14:150:14:17

otherwise the water will be all tipsy.

0:14:170:14:19

And it's a big one - 1m wide and 4m long.

0:14:200:14:25

-Superb.

-We are there or thereabouts, all the way around.

0:14:290:14:33

The next step is to reinforce the edges

0:14:340:14:37

to keep the earth back.

0:14:370:14:39

Because the hole will eventually be lined,

0:14:390:14:41

it's fine to use cheaper breeze blocks.

0:14:410:14:43

-Yeah, just...

-Lovely, lovely.

0:14:430:14:46

Out front, Charlie and the boys have just arrived.

0:14:500:14:53

With such a heavy workload, they're just in the nick of time.

0:14:530:14:56

This garden is a very simple design.

0:14:560:14:58

It's all about blocks and squares and rectangles.

0:14:580:15:03

What kind of planting?

0:15:030:15:04

-We've got lots of box balls...

-Oh, nice.

0:15:040:15:06

..to go, and I don't know whether to arrange them

0:15:060:15:08

in a dunk, dunk, dunk,

0:15:080:15:10

-or random...

-Ah.

-Ooh!

-..with the rectangles.

0:15:100:15:12

I like doing that. Can we do that bit?

0:15:120:15:14

You want to do the box balls?

0:15:140:15:16

-Yeah.

-OK, so you're doing the water feature.

-Yeah.

0:15:160:15:19

You're going to do the path and you're going to do some planting.

0:15:190:15:22

-Lovely.

-Brilliant.

0:15:220:15:23

-I'm going to do some decking. Sun's out.

-Yeah.

0:15:230:15:26

-What can go wrong?

-Unless you add more things to our list.

0:15:260:15:29

THEY LAUGH

0:15:290:15:31

Whilst the boys consider the water feature,

0:15:330:15:36

Charlie is onto the deck.

0:15:360:15:38

But before any boards can go down,

0:15:380:15:40

the framework needs to be put in place.

0:15:400:15:44

-Do you want to just lift it across?

-No.

0:15:440:15:46

The boys have dug a trench in the lines of the subframe,

0:15:460:15:50

so it will sit in the lawn,

0:15:500:15:52

and have added a membrane to stop weeds coming through the gaps.

0:15:520:15:56

Now it's ready for Charlie and Scott.

0:15:590:16:02

Look at that decking. Ooh.

0:16:020:16:05

We've got a slight fall on there,

0:16:050:16:07

so it disperses the water off the edge of the boards.

0:16:070:16:09

-Because the boards aren't grooved.

-They're not. They're flat hardwood.

0:16:090:16:12

They're flat, which will look really smart.

0:16:120:16:15

This is going to be very instant, isn't it?

0:16:150:16:17

It's going to come through very quickly, yeah.

0:16:170:16:19

-Bomp, bomp, bomp.

-Instant dance floor.

0:16:190:16:22

SHE LAUGHS

0:16:220:16:25

The channel for the water rill has been dug and lined with sand,

0:16:250:16:29

so it's ready for the liner.

0:16:290:16:30

-Oh, it smells.

-Smells lovely. Takes us back to the surfing days.

0:16:300:16:34

HE LAUGHS

0:16:340:16:37

But Charlie has had an idea on how

0:16:370:16:39

she can make this garden feel personal to Christine and Clive.

0:16:390:16:43

The rill has been designed to have a fountain at one end,

0:16:430:16:46

so they've been on a shopping trip.

0:16:460:16:49

Oh, look at that. Look at that handsome beast.

0:16:490:16:52

..queen of water features.

0:16:520:16:54

The queen of water features. I heard my name. OK.

0:16:540:16:57

So, I have to say, that is pretty full-on, isn't it?

0:16:570:17:00

-Yeah.

-So, I would put it about there.

0:17:000:17:03

-CHRISTINE:

-To go into the...

-So, that...that... So, you see...

0:17:030:17:06

-Yeah.

-..from there, but also from your decking.

0:17:060:17:09

-Yeah, yeah.

-So, from both ways.

-Yeah.

0:17:090:17:11

And you'll see the water dropping.

0:17:110:17:13

-Yes.

-Oh, what a good idea.

-We need to fill it up first, don't we?

0:17:130:17:16

-DAVID:

-Well, we need to put a liner in it first.

0:17:160:17:18

-Stop distracting us, you two.

-Yeah, we need to get on.

0:17:180:17:21

Meanwhile, Adam and Scott are putting edging in for a path.

0:17:220:17:25

That's it. Good work. Lovely.

0:17:260:17:29

Charlie has created two paths to link the different features

0:17:290:17:32

to the existing patio,

0:17:320:17:33

creating a journey around the garden.

0:17:330:17:36

Clive wasn't keen on slabs, so she's using gravel.

0:17:360:17:40

Over at the water feature,

0:17:430:17:44

the boys need to crack on with fixing the liner.

0:17:440:17:47

Beautiful.

0:17:470:17:49

The trickiest bits are the corners,

0:17:500:17:52

so they're tiding them up like the corners of a bedsheet.

0:17:520:17:56

Yeah, this is good here as well. Just pulling it a little bit.

0:17:560:17:59

Final adjustments to make it nice and neat

0:17:590:18:02

can be done when it's full of water.

0:18:020:18:04

-This is coming on well, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-It's good.

-Cracking on.

0:18:110:18:14

The timber edging is down,

0:18:140:18:17

but there seems to be a difference of opinion.

0:18:170:18:19

We also put the timber heads along

0:18:190:18:21

with some nice membrane in the bottom.

0:18:210:18:23

Mem... No. No, no, no. Not membrane in the bottom.

0:18:230:18:26

-You've got to have membrane in the bottom.

-Why?

-No.

0:18:260:18:28

-Stop the weeds coming up.

-No, but it comes up.

-No.

0:18:280:18:31

Looks like Charlie needs the clients' input again.

0:18:310:18:36

Clive!

0:18:360:18:37

-So, you've got me to change the paving.

-Yes.

-I just...

0:18:370:18:41

-THEY LAUGH

-All right. Tools out.

0:18:410:18:43

-Not that we're ganging up against the boys...

-Tools out.

0:18:430:18:46

-..but... So, this is the gravel path.

-Yes.

0:18:460:18:48

The boys would like to put membrane down.

0:18:480:18:51

-Oh. Mm.

-But when you walk on it on gravel,

0:18:510:18:54

it comes up through and all that black will come to the surface.

0:18:540:18:57

You might have to pull out the odd weed.

0:18:570:18:59

-But is that the guarantee that you're able to offer?

-No.

0:18:590:19:02

So, Clive, no pressure. Is it membrane or no membrane?

0:19:030:19:08

So, if we can just put down weedkiller

0:19:080:19:10

and that's going to resolve the problem, yes.

0:19:100:19:13

-Right answer. Good.

-Excellent.

-Sorry, guys.

-Sorted.

0:19:130:19:15

Excellent. Thank you, Clive.

0:19:150:19:17

-We'll get back to work, then.

-Might as well pack up tools, then, lads.

0:19:170:19:20

-We're going home.

-I'm sorry about that, guys.

0:19:200:19:22

-HE GRUNTS

-I'll take the small one, shall I?

0:19:220:19:25

Why does it always seem to work that way?

0:19:250:19:27

It's all timing, David. It's all timing.

0:19:270:19:29

All right, well, that's the way to attack there.

0:19:290:19:32

Over at the deck, Charlie and Scott have made up

0:19:350:19:39

and are ready to lay the first decking boards.

0:19:390:19:42

-So, the first one has got to be spot on, hasn't it?

-It has, yes.

0:19:420:19:46

Charlie opted for a smooth, luxurious hardwood deck.

0:19:460:19:50

Hailing from Asia,

0:19:500:19:51

it adds that little touch of exotic glamour to the garden.

0:19:510:19:55

People worry about decking that hasn't got grooves in

0:19:550:19:57

because it'll be slippery,

0:19:570:19:59

but this has an antifungal property to it,

0:19:590:20:02

so it means it doesn't get slippery as long as you oil it once a year.

0:20:020:20:06

Although a hardwood deck is more expensive than softwood,

0:20:070:20:11

it weathers well and could potentially have

0:20:110:20:13

up to double the life span.

0:20:130:20:15

Using hardwood screws,

0:20:170:20:19

Scott leaves a 4mm gap to allow for any swelling of the boards.

0:20:190:20:23

-Sure that's in the right place?

-It is in the right place, thank you.

0:20:230:20:27

I'm just teasing!

0:20:270:20:28

And with Charlie being at the helm,

0:20:280:20:30

she has a word of caution for everyone.

0:20:300:20:33

Right. You do all know there's no walking on this deck

0:20:350:20:37

once it's down?

0:20:370:20:38

-The dance floor, isn't it?

-Dragon wagon's talking!

0:20:400:20:43

She's a tough boss, Charlie, but a caring one too.

0:20:440:20:48

The sun has been belting down all day, so she's being mother hen.

0:20:480:20:54

We have got hats for the boys.

0:20:540:20:56

Do you want to see the boys in their hats?

0:20:560:20:58

So, Scott's hat is very dapper.

0:20:580:21:00

-Oh, cheers, Mum.

-That looks much better.

0:21:040:21:07

-Have you got some sunblock for my neck as well?

-Yes.

0:21:070:21:10

And where's the other little boy?

0:21:100:21:12

With the flower facing? Damn. Why is Harry getting the good one?

0:21:120:21:15

Good. Covers your ears, the back of your neck.

0:21:150:21:18

Actually reminds me of Nan a little bit.

0:21:180:21:21

Cooking on gas here.

0:21:250:21:27

Christine loves to potter in the garden.

0:21:300:21:33

Right, let's get the sleeper, Harry. Come on.

0:21:340:21:36

So she doesn't have to bend down all the time,

0:21:360:21:39

Charlie has designed three raised beds.

0:21:390:21:42

One runs parallel to the water feature.

0:21:420:21:44

-That's the path.

-That's the path, that is, mate.

0:21:440:21:46

Oh, is that actually the path?

0:21:460:21:48

So, we're going outside that far edge, basically.

0:21:480:21:50

Should have looked at Charlie's design.

0:21:500:21:53

THEY LAUGH

0:21:530:21:55

Are you changing my design already, Harry?

0:21:550:21:57

-Yeah. By mistake, though.

-THEY LAUGH

0:21:570:22:00

The bed will be around 70cm high

0:22:000:22:03

and 1m wide -

0:22:030:22:05

a nice sensible height that's easier on the back.

0:22:050:22:08

I'll leave you boys to it. You know what you're doing.

0:22:100:22:14

The boys start with the base,

0:22:140:22:16

making sure it's good and solid and then building it up.

0:22:160:22:20

OK, hold on, then.

0:22:200:22:21

Yeah, it's good there, mate. That's lovely.

0:22:210:22:24

Beautiful.

0:22:310:22:33

Charlie has designed the beds to be just a metre wide,

0:22:380:22:42

which also makes them easier to maintain.

0:22:420:22:45

And the 1m bit is the key bit.

0:22:450:22:48

You don't want to have your veg bed too wide

0:22:480:22:49

and you can't reach the middle.

0:22:490:22:51

Another great thing about raised beds

0:22:510:22:53

is it's good for the back.

0:22:530:22:54

You're not reaching or bending over, kneeling down.

0:22:540:22:56

It's really manageable.

0:22:560:22:57

All you need to do is refresh your soil with some good manure

0:22:570:23:00

about once a year and the veg will love it.

0:23:000:23:02

But there are still two more to do,

0:23:020:23:04

and with the deck and the water feature not yet finished,

0:23:040:23:07

the hard landscaping seems to be taking forever.

0:23:070:23:11

So hot.

0:23:130:23:15

Can't complain.

0:23:150:23:17

Are we halfway yet?

0:23:260:23:28

-Not quite.

-SHE MOCKINGLY SOBS

0:23:280:23:31

Charlie is getting frustrated, and there's more bad news.

0:23:310:23:34

The boys are struggling with the raised beds.

0:23:340:23:37

So, can you look down that side and just see if that's kind of flush

0:23:370:23:40

with that, so we get it square?

0:23:400:23:41

No. They must've come...

0:23:410:23:43

The sleepers don't seem to be quite right.

0:23:430:23:46

I mean, it's timber, at the end of the day.

0:23:480:23:50

-Yeah, and you can't account for timber...

-It's not the way...

0:23:500:23:53

There's going to be some movement in it.

0:23:530:23:55

I'll leave me little gap at the back end.

0:23:550:23:56

-Stop slowing him down, you.

-HE LAUGHS

0:23:560:23:59

Sorry. Goodness me.

0:23:590:24:00

What we're finding is that some of these timbers are either warped

0:24:000:24:04

kind of basically banana-like, that way,

0:24:040:24:08

so it just means you've got to screw them in together.

0:24:080:24:11

And between the two, there's going to be three high,

0:24:110:24:13

so what we're going to have to do on the inside,

0:24:130:24:16

bracket them and then pull them together and screw them in.

0:24:160:24:18

At least the decking is nearly finished.

0:24:200:24:23

Last board! Only 28 screws to go!

0:24:230:24:29

SHE LAUGHS

0:24:290:24:31

Last two screws.

0:24:320:24:34

Yes. Until we start the pergola.

0:24:340:24:37

Yay! Woo!

0:24:400:24:43

And the last deck board is down.

0:24:430:24:46

The boys have conquered the raised beds

0:24:520:24:54

and have moved back to the rill.

0:24:540:24:56

Snug.

0:24:560:24:57

Charlie has chosen limestone coping stones,

0:24:570:25:01

and the boys are laying them an inch over the edge.

0:25:010:25:04

So, what it does is it covers the lining

0:25:040:25:06

so you see this lovely reflection of the stone texture

0:25:060:25:08

instead of this,

0:25:080:25:10

so it's a really smart way of finishing the water feature.

0:25:100:25:13

Charlie has positioned the rill

0:25:130:25:15

so it's in plain view from the kitchen.

0:25:150:25:17

The ideal spot for any water feature

0:25:170:25:20

is a site where the wind doesn't blow and it isn't too hot.

0:25:200:25:23

A water feature like this obviously does require

0:25:230:25:26

a bit more maintenance, but it's not too bad.

0:25:260:25:28

At maybe the height of summer, full sun,

0:25:280:25:30

you'd be looking at maybe topping up an inch a week at the most,

0:25:300:25:33

so it doesn't require too much of your time.

0:25:330:25:35

Charlie's still on landscaping duties.

0:25:370:25:40

So that the deck is shaded on days like today,

0:25:400:25:43

she and Adam are adding a pergola.

0:25:430:25:44

Great thing about putting a pergola in

0:25:470:25:49

is it adds the height,

0:25:490:25:50

but it also means you can grow more plants.

0:25:500:25:52

So, you can have trailing plants and climbing plants.

0:25:520:25:55

-So, this is a kit one, isn't it, this pergola?

-It is, yeah.

0:25:550:25:58

We're making life simple, supposedly.

0:25:580:26:01

-Supposedly, yeah.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:26:010:26:03

Just got to get everything the right height first

0:26:030:26:05

-and then we'll be all right.

-OK.

0:26:050:26:06

On the hottest summer days, shade is essential in the garden,

0:26:110:26:15

so it pays to know the position of the sun in relation to your plot,

0:26:150:26:19

particularly if you're planning a seating area for morning coffee

0:26:190:26:22

or a dining area for afternoon or evening get-togethers.

0:26:220:26:26

Trees or tall shrubs offer natural shade

0:26:280:26:31

but need to have a wide and dense canopy to be effective.

0:26:310:26:36

Wooden pergolas or pagodas have the natural feel of a tree,

0:26:360:26:40

and come in shapes and sizes to fit any style of garden.

0:26:400:26:45

But the frame only offers partial shade,

0:26:450:26:48

so consider the growth rate of what you climb up it

0:26:480:26:51

if you're going to rely on it for protection.

0:26:510:26:53

If your taste is contemporary,

0:26:550:26:57

than nothing beats a dramatic sail shade for the wow factor.

0:26:570:27:01

They come in all colours but will need regular cleaning

0:27:010:27:05

if you want to maintain that boutique hotel look.

0:27:050:27:08

In Fleet, Adam is screwing the post for Charlie's pergola

0:27:110:27:15

into the subframe just to get the positioning spot on.

0:27:150:27:19

He'll then add postcrete to the hole so it's solid as a rock.

0:27:190:27:23

-I'll get the screw started.

-Yeah, cos I've just moved that totally.

0:27:230:27:26

-Right. You tell me when you think we're about there.

-Hold on, hold on.

0:27:300:27:33

-Give a girl a chance. Good.

-Yeah?

-Go, quick.

0:27:330:27:37

At last, the back of the hard landscaping has been broken,

0:27:420:27:46

so Charlie wastes no time in getting the brothers

0:27:460:27:49

straight onto planting trees.

0:27:490:27:51

-Oh, yes.

-Loving the size of these.

-So...

0:27:510:27:54

-Wow.

-Oh! Ooh!

0:27:540:27:57

-So, we have our lovely hawthorn.

-Yeah.

0:27:570:27:59

-And prunus serrula.

-Crimson cloud.

-Crimson cloud.

-She's mine.

0:27:590:28:02

I'm thinking over there.

0:28:020:28:05

-For Dave.

-What's this? What's this?

0:28:050:28:07

-Prunus serrula.

-Oh, that will be lovely.

0:28:070:28:11

Christina and Clive's garden is overlooked on three sides.

0:28:110:28:16

-Put the Chinese sorbus here.

-Yeah.

0:28:160:28:19

Yeah, because it'll block that house out.

0:28:190:28:21

So, Charlie is planting ornamental trees

0:28:210:28:23

that won't grow too big

0:28:230:28:25

and will also add some much needed shade to the garden.

0:28:250:28:28

Bring the alder forward a bit.

0:28:280:28:30

Alder forward!

0:28:320:28:34

Quite a lot. Don't be shy.

0:28:350:28:38

-Happy with that.

-Nice.

-Cool.

0:28:400:28:43

One of the big selling points of Charlie's design

0:28:430:28:46

were the billowing clouds of box that she proposed

0:28:460:28:49

for the left-hand border,

0:28:490:28:50

and it's time they made an appearance.

0:28:500:28:53

So, we've got very large ones.

0:28:540:28:57

I've got this one that I'm going to leave shaggy,

0:28:570:28:59

so we've got a couple of shaggy ones

0:28:590:29:01

because I like the different textures.

0:29:010:29:03

You can buy various shapes and sizes of topiary off the shelf,

0:29:030:29:07

but if there's a specific shape you like,

0:29:070:29:09

you can have great fun creating your own.

0:29:090:29:12

People get quite confused about how far you need to cut them back.

0:29:120:29:16

You don't need any fancy clippers.

0:29:160:29:19

You can quite happily use

0:29:190:29:22

a good pair of scissors or sequiturs,

0:29:220:29:25

and just follow the shape and just sort of press on it

0:29:250:29:28

and you just know that that's far enough back

0:29:280:29:30

because there's some resistance.

0:29:300:29:32

The boys were itching to get their hands on the balls,

0:29:320:29:35

but Charlie wants the trees planted first.

0:29:350:29:39

Get them in.

0:29:390:29:41

Harry is planting a golden alder.

0:29:420:29:45

With beautiful autumn and winter colour,

0:29:450:29:47

it can reach up to 12m high.

0:29:470:29:50

Alders are one of my favourite trees

0:29:500:29:51

because sometimes the simplest things look the best.

0:29:510:29:55

-That works, doesn't it?

-That's nice.

-It looks textured.

0:29:570:29:59

What about my hawthorn? Do you like it?

0:29:590:30:01

Yeah, that's a good-looking tree.

0:30:010:30:03

So, it's closely related to the native hawthorn,

0:30:030:30:05

but it's the fancier version with the lovely strong, pink flowers.

0:30:050:30:09

-It's great, isn't it?

-It is pretty strong. Pretty bold.

0:30:090:30:12

Charlie is also adding some large shrubs

0:30:140:30:17

that will be easier for Christine and Clive to manage than perennials

0:30:170:30:20

and will provide some year-round interest.

0:30:200:30:23

Going to try and cover this wall up a bit with these evergreens,

0:30:240:30:27

so, you know, we've got this viburnum tinus...

0:30:270:30:30

Yeah. And this guy, this pittosporum, is my favourite.

0:30:300:30:32

-Yeah?

-It's gorgeous. Got a lovely, simple leaf, isn't it?

0:30:320:30:35

See, I like the garrya elliptica.

0:30:350:30:37

Evergreen. It gets those great big long tassels on it. Tassel tree.

0:30:370:30:40

-Oh, sounds horrific.

-Horrific?

-HE LAUGHS

0:30:400:30:44

-No accounting for taste.

-Look at that!

0:30:440:30:46

Simple dark stem. Lovely green leaf. No variegation.

0:30:460:30:50

You need educating, you boys do. You so do.

0:30:500:30:54

With the trees in,

0:31:000:31:01

the brothers have got their wish and are onto the box balls.

0:31:010:31:05

-Oh, give me...

-Like a glove.

0:31:050:31:07

Give me a hand getting this one in, Harry,

0:31:070:31:09

and then I'll...we can both fill them in.

0:31:090:31:11

But towards the rear of the garden,

0:31:110:31:13

there's a problem with the water feature.

0:31:130:31:16

Is that heavy, that water feature?

0:31:160:31:18

It's not really, but when it's full of water,

0:31:180:31:21

it will be heavy.

0:31:210:31:22

So, it will hold them down. I'll see what height it is.

0:31:220:31:25

Scott has realised that when the water is turned off,

0:31:250:31:28

the fountain will be too light and could float away.

0:31:280:31:31

Is that good for the saw?

0:31:370:31:39

-If it's someone else's saw...

-Yeah, it's fine.

0:31:390:31:41

..it's not a problem, but as it's mine...

0:31:410:31:43

SHE LAUGHS

0:31:430:31:46

So he places its base on top of some breeze blocks

0:31:460:31:49

so it sits just above the water line.

0:31:490:31:52

He'll then weigh it down to keep it firmly in place.

0:31:520:31:56

In order to get the fountain to work,

0:31:590:32:01

there's a new addition to the team.

0:32:010:32:03

Electrician Kieran is not only wiring up the water feature,

0:32:030:32:07

he's also been tasked with putting in a new lighting scheme.

0:32:070:32:11

Christine and Clive were so taken with Charlie's planting plans,

0:32:110:32:14

they insisted on some night-time illumination.

0:32:140:32:18

Lighting can bring a whole new dimension to a garden.

0:32:240:32:28

Designer Karena Batstone knows how to add some night-time drama

0:32:280:32:32

to an outdoor space.

0:32:320:32:34

During the day, you have no choice what's lit in a garden.

0:32:340:32:37

Everything is lit.

0:32:370:32:39

But at night, you have the opportunity

0:32:390:32:41

to do something really exciting.

0:32:410:32:44

The trick is to be subtle with your lighting.

0:32:440:32:46

Think about the effect you want and where to position your lights.

0:32:460:32:50

I like to use spike-mounted spotlights in the beds

0:32:530:32:56

because you can move them around.

0:32:560:32:58

If you use the fitting very close to the base of a wall,

0:33:000:33:03

you'll pick up the texture of the wall.

0:33:030:33:06

But don't forget about the practical issues

0:33:060:33:08

and plan ahead if you can.

0:33:080:33:12

If you're constructing a new garden,

0:33:120:33:14

you need to think about where to put all the conduits,

0:33:140:33:17

because you don't want to put down all your paving and discover

0:33:170:33:20

that you've got some trailing lead going in an awkward place.

0:33:200:33:24

So, it's very well worth planning garden lighting

0:33:240:33:28

right from the start.

0:33:280:33:31

If electric lights aren't practical, there are alternatives.

0:33:310:33:35

Using your outdoor sockets,

0:33:350:33:37

you can create an atmosphere for different occasions.

0:33:370:33:41

So, a party, for instance, get the string lights out.

0:33:410:33:46

And the other thing I would say is don't forget about candlelight.

0:33:460:33:52

I think the nicest way to light a dining table is with candlelight.

0:33:520:33:57

Back in Fleet, with the weight problem of the fountain sorted...

0:34:020:34:06

That's better.

0:34:060:34:08

..it just needs to be slotted into place.

0:34:080:34:11

Still looks good from there, doesn't it?

0:34:110:34:14

Happy with the water feature,

0:34:140:34:16

Charlie is keen that momentum doesn't start flagging.

0:34:160:34:20

-So, you need to square that off of...

-Yeah, no problem.

0:34:200:34:22

And what, there's a path on through there, is there?

0:34:220:34:24

-There's a metre bed...

-Yeah.

-..metre path...

0:34:240:34:27

-Yeah.

-..so we'll timber-edge it.

-Perfect.

0:34:270:34:30

By then, those raised beds will be...

0:34:300:34:32

And then that's flowerbed and raised bed.

0:34:320:34:35

And she's powering on with planting up the raised veg bed.

0:34:390:34:43

And I'm just enriching it with some well-rotted farmyard manure.

0:34:430:34:50

It does make it nice and easy having them raised.

0:34:500:34:52

These ones on there.

0:34:540:34:56

And that one is going to be there.

0:34:590:35:02

Peas...here.

0:35:030:35:08

Charlie is planning to add some height

0:35:080:35:10

by growing peas up wooden supports.

0:35:100:35:12

So, I'm just going to do that with them, really.

0:35:120:35:14

Pretty sure I might change it all in a minute.

0:35:190:35:21

We've got a couple of tomatoes here.

0:35:210:35:23

These are ones, a variety called roma,

0:35:230:35:25

which are great for outside.

0:35:250:35:27

And then we've got a couple of sweet peppers.

0:35:270:35:30

Adding simple net will help keep birds or insects

0:35:310:35:34

from eating your new crops, but Charlie has got another tip.

0:35:340:35:37

You could also plant in here garlic and chives

0:35:370:35:41

cos garlic and chives are really good companion planting

0:35:410:35:43

because they attract lots of hover flies

0:35:430:35:46

which then eat things like the aphids

0:35:460:35:48

that would eat your vegetables.

0:35:480:35:50

That's one raised bed planted up. Just two more to go.

0:35:500:35:54

The day is passing by quickly,

0:35:570:35:59

and although some of the team are planting,

0:35:590:36:01

the hard landscaping just goes on and on.

0:36:010:36:04

David's adding a 10cm top layer of white chippings

0:36:070:36:11

to the path.

0:36:110:36:12

And Charlie has asked the landscapers

0:36:190:36:22

to extend the old patio by two rows

0:36:220:36:24

so Christine and Clive can have a proper eating area

0:36:240:36:28

just outside their kitchen.

0:36:280:36:29

That size is sweet. That's flush on that corner there like that.

0:36:310:36:35

Finally, the big moment. Time to turn the water fountain on.

0:36:430:36:48

Should look pretty cool at night.

0:36:570:36:59

The guys are on the home stretch, which means one thing...

0:36:590:37:04

Is there one more box ball there?

0:37:040:37:06

One here.

0:37:060:37:07

..it's all hands on deck for the planting.

0:37:070:37:10

Should look quite nice about there. Oops.

0:37:110:37:14

And David is starting to regret taking on the box balls.

0:37:140:37:18

Thank you.

0:37:200:37:21

Charlie wanted to immerse Christine in her plants...

0:37:210:37:25

Smells good. This will be a really lovely scented little area.

0:37:250:37:30

..so as well as draping the pergola with climbers,

0:37:300:37:33

she's placed two of the raised beds alongside the decking.

0:37:330:37:36

We've got jasmine, salvias, lavender.

0:37:390:37:42

We're going for, like, a blue, grey, silver effect

0:37:420:37:46

that's going to slightly flop over and soften the raised borders.

0:37:460:37:51

This area is in full sun,

0:37:510:37:53

so Charlie has gone for drought-tolerant plants.

0:37:530:37:56

And being in a raised bed,

0:37:560:37:58

they'll be easy for Christine to maintain.

0:37:580:38:01

So, silver foliage plants are really quite tolerant of drought,

0:38:010:38:06

but once they're established,

0:38:060:38:08

they will put up with really intense sun

0:38:080:38:10

and really dry conditions,

0:38:100:38:12

which actually makes the aromatic ones

0:38:120:38:15

smell even stronger.

0:38:150:38:17

The team are now at full throttle

0:38:170:38:19

with just the last bit of planting to do.

0:38:190:38:22

Got some salvias. Fandabadoozy!

0:38:240:38:28

-Like that.

-Yeah, perfect.

0:38:280:38:30

Yeah, it really works.

0:38:310:38:32

Yeah, I think it's absolutely amazing how much has been done.

0:38:380:38:42

I mean, just, this is a completely different garden, isn't it?

0:38:420:38:44

I think your brother is throwing

0:38:440:38:46

the toys out of his pram at this precise moment.

0:38:460:38:48

I was just getting it out of the bed.

0:38:480:38:49

-How did that bearded iris get over there?

-This one?

0:38:490:38:52

-Yeah.

-It was there.

-It wasn't there. Doesn't matter.

0:38:520:38:54

-Looks gorgeous.

-Where's it supposed to be?

-It's fine.

0:38:540:38:57

-There was no space for it, so we wondered where...

-That's fine.

0:38:570:38:59

-Uh-oh.

-HE LAUGHS

0:39:010:39:04

Think it looks great there, mate.

0:39:040:39:06

The main bed is finished.

0:39:090:39:11

I'm out of here.

0:39:110:39:14

No more planting.

0:39:140:39:15

A quick tidy and the garden is done.

0:39:170:39:21

Once just a flat square of grass,

0:39:250:39:28

this garden was completely overlooked

0:39:280:39:30

and lacked character and features.

0:39:300:39:32

Now it's been brought to life with a £7,000 makeover.

0:39:350:39:41

At the heart of Charlie's design was a beautiful hardwood deck.

0:39:410:39:45

Sleek and stylish with a hint of red, it cost £1,400,

0:39:450:39:50

but it should last for years.

0:39:500:39:53

A pergola not only brings a little privacy

0:39:530:39:56

when relaxing on the deck

0:39:560:39:57

but adds much-needed height to the garden,

0:39:570:40:01

underneath with scented plants like salvias and jasmine

0:40:010:40:04

excite the senses.

0:40:040:40:06

The tranquil water rill with its chrome fountain

0:40:090:40:13

adds a relaxing sound to the garden.

0:40:130:40:15

The quirky box balls add structure and form.

0:40:200:40:24

They look great all year round

0:40:240:40:26

and will be easy for Christine and Clive to maintain.

0:40:260:40:29

Being a south-facing garden,

0:40:340:40:37

Charlie has given the couple a shady woodland area.

0:40:370:40:40

Once they grow to their full eight-metre height,

0:40:420:40:45

a hawthorn and prunus serrula

0:40:450:40:48

will screen the garden from the neighbours.

0:40:480:40:50

And the boys have built three raised beds.

0:40:540:40:57

Made from tanalised timber,

0:40:570:40:59

they're ideal for growing plants and vegetables

0:40:590:41:02

and are low-maintenance.

0:41:020:41:03

..the step over.

0:41:120:41:13

Christine and Clive dreamed of a garden that had the wow factor,

0:41:130:41:18

so has Charlie delivered?

0:41:180:41:20

I'm just going to sort of position you like that.

0:41:200:41:22

Oh, about to open their eyes.

0:41:220:41:25

-And you're allowed to open your eyes.

-Wow.

0:41:250:41:28

-Wow!

-Look at that.

0:41:280:41:31

Loads of wows. That's good.

0:41:310:41:34

-I love that, in particular.

-Fantastic!

0:41:340:41:37

Just to say, you can't walk on the paving, Clive.

0:41:370:41:39

-Right, OK.

-So, come this way.

-Super.

0:41:390:41:42

-Wow.

-Absolutely super.

0:41:420:41:44

So, we're very pleased with the deck,

0:41:440:41:46

because it does look top-notch.

0:41:460:41:47

-Oh, it looks beautiful.

-Oh, doesn't that look smashing?

0:41:470:41:51

-And I love the plants.

-Yeah. Yeah.

0:41:510:41:53

And of course, this is sufficient space where we can even dance.

0:41:530:41:56

Oh, OK. Hello. Let the gentleman lead.

0:41:560:41:59

-THEY LAUGH

-Woo!

0:41:590:42:03

Look at him. Mr Strictly.

0:42:030:42:05

Seven!

0:42:050:42:07

What a charmer.

0:42:070:42:09

-I just think this is beautiful.

-The sound is very tranquil.

0:42:090:42:11

-Yeah, it is.

-Isn't that lovely?

-It is. Absolutely super.

0:42:110:42:15

So, you've got lots of watering to do.

0:42:150:42:17

So, this is going to be so scented.

0:42:170:42:19

If you tread on that paving, I will kill you.

0:42:190:42:21

-SHE LAUGHS

-I'm so nice to the clients!

0:42:210:42:25

That is one of Christine's favourite things,

0:42:250:42:28

and I know that that has a lovely smell as well.

0:42:280:42:30

-I'm glad you love it.

-I love...absolutely love it.

0:42:300:42:33

-Good. Thank you.

-Super.

0:42:330:42:35

And all your....well, everybody's hard work.

0:42:350:42:38

It was a lot of hard work.

0:42:380:42:39

-Yay!

-HARRY:

-Where did that go?

-LAUGHTER

0:42:430:42:46

-CHRISTINE:

-Thanks, guys.

0:42:460:42:47

-Brilliant. Thank you, everybody.

-DAVID:

-Cheers!

0:42:470:42:49

Well done, everybody.

0:42:490:42:52

The garden more than exceeds our expectations.

0:42:520:42:54

It's fantastic. Amazing, yeah.

0:42:540:42:57

Christine and Clive seem happy,

0:42:570:43:00

but do they think their cash was well spent?

0:43:000:43:03

Yes, I do. We're going to be looking out at this for a very long time.

0:43:030:43:06

And we've got this as a result, which is amazing.

0:43:060:43:10
