Your Garden Made Perfect

[covetingthepreciousthings]

Anyone watch this tonight?

Just catching up now, it's the same show as "Your Home Made Perfect" but you guessed it.. a garden makeover this time!

It will be on iplayer to catch up on!

I agree, Titus, I thought £8k would buy more than that.

I can't believe they've gone with the first design.

Then the daughter announces she's pregnant.......

There's two little children that need to play out there - it doesn't look very child friendly.

I thought that too. Lots of slippy surfaces, rocks to bang your head on and no room fir them to even grow anything.

I wasn't super keen on the gravelly bits of the 8k garden, they looked a bit piecemeal.

Wow I thought the first couple would've chosen the 2nd design. The 1st design is more wow so I'm not surprised the teens/20-somethings chose that one!

@BunnyRuddington - I know, I don’t think it will age well whereas the second design would have just looked better and better as it matured. I’m a bit sad I won’t get to see the second one now.

Hawthorn and Hazel ! It’s going to need loads of upkeep to stop it looking like a railway siding ( a flooded one if the rest of the design goes to plan).

Ha a DIY solar fountain/potted feature was already on my list this summer 😁

The wooden bench area of the budget garden in nice but the rest is really underwhelming.

That Ealing garden does look good. It looks really really well done.
I presume the soil underneath was pretty non existent and the decking was to cover all the rubble rather then cart it through the house?
Also it's so shaded that a big lawn wouldn't be possible.

Those galvanized silver troughs on the wall are far too sharp for kids!

Gravel is going to get kicked everywhere 😂
I would've done away with the central gravel strip and brought the grass up to the decking so the kids can run between. A few large planters would've had the same effect.

Saying that I liked the majority of the design - the decking, cedar and hidden sandpit!

Ha ha ha ha ha....

Oh it looks worse than the VR design. I said oh that’s shit to which my husband replied no Titus, that’s £60 grand of shit.

Oh dear, it just looks a messy mess.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks shite?
The pathways are awful.

It looks... slippy.
I think I like it.

*Muddy not messy, but also messy.

@TitusPullo

But have they stuck to the budget though?

That chap has never made a fire in his life.

Sorry ..mean to laugh. That’s the coldest ,wettest, least inspiring, garden ever.

Ahmed needs to get rid of those sharp rocks.

66k !!!

66k of shit!!!

Sure, only 10% over.
That's nothing.
