Stockport
Season 7, Episode 35
Ben and Ruth call on the services of Charlie Dimmock and Lee Burkhill to redesign their garden in Stockport, Greater Manchester, into something more chic. At present it's a bit dated with too much concrete - and too many level changes for it to be safe for their baby daughter Eve. The couple are imagining a wild, natural garden with prairie style planting and some opportunities for growing their own vegetables. They have a budget of £2,500 available to realise their dreams
