Taunton
Season 9, Episode 19
Becky and Paul and their two children live on the edge of the picturesque Quantocks near Taunton, Somerset, but are struggling with the strange dog-legged shape of their new-build garden. Charlie Dimmock and Chris Hull use a £6,000 budget to transform its landscaping and introduce a cracked paving patio and bespoke seating area, with a dry stone wall façade. While Chris drives the main garden build, Charlie get to tackle the dog-leg, which Chris has designed to be a fun kids area with a water play area and wooden musical instruments
