About this Broadcast
Sheffield
Season 8, Episode 34
A Sheffield couple call upon Charlie Dimmock and Flo Headlam to help them with their bland, fake grass-clad back garden. Karen and Kathryn love to spend time outdoors - walking, reading, sunbathing, eating, playing with their dog - but desire a space less reminiscent of a football pitch. They have their hearts set on a garden with a forest feel, with informal, wandering paths and a log cabin vibe. They'd like trees to make them feel more enclosed, a barbecue zone and a quiet, restful spot for reading. They have a healthy budget of £6,500 but even so, Flo and Charlie have their work cut out
