Kevin spent over two years renovating his Georgian cottage in Manchester from the foundations up, but in the process his garden became a building site, and he lost all inspiration and focus. The garden is tired, sloped and rarely used. Kevin now wants a cool, modern entertainment space with plenty of planting, but it must reflect his beautiful period home. Charlie Dimmock and Lee Burkhill have a budget of £4,000 to transform this space, fusing the contemporary with the historical.

Michael and Gloria live in Deeside but spent many years in Africa. They want their bland, overlooked garden to be transformed into an African paradise, full of tropical planting. Gloria dreams of a tranquil water feature, and they would like a covered pergola for entertaining. But most importantly, this garden needs to be wheelchair friendly for their son Christopher, who loves spending time in it. Charlie and Lee have a budget of £6,500 to make the family's dream come true.
