Gillian and Mark are retired teachers who have moved to their forever home, a Victorian house in Oxford. But the garden is causing problems: a patio covered with matting and a broken pathway are just some of the issues, not to mention it's boring. They want a Victorian cottage garden in keeping with the house and a new patio. The garden must be wildlife friendly with a quiet place for them to do their crosswords. Can Charlie and the Rich brothers deliver all this for just £3,500?

In Ellesmere Port, the back of James's house looks more like a building site than a garden. He is desperate for a garden makeover and wants a Cornish coastal haven inspired by coastal trips to the seaside when he was a kid. It also needs to be safe space for his dog Boosh and two nieces who are regular visitors. Working with a budget of £4,500, designers Charlie Dimmock and Lee Burkhill go head to head to produce a design that will fulfil James's brief and win him over.
