In this episode, Charlie Dimmock and the Rich brothers Harry and David, are in Hook, Hampshire to save young couple Cat and Joel from the garden from hell! These loved-up newlyweds dream of a family garden for the children that they plan to have; a space full of grass and wildlife friendly flowers, but the trouble is, all they have now is a concrete garden made up of nothing but paving stones! The big issue is, the new build house has a covenant that bans them putting in any deep-rooted plants, because of buried gas pipes. So, Garden Rescue have been called in to answer this gardening SOS! Can Charlie, Harry and David come up with a pair of designs that prove you can still have a dream garden even if you can’t plant trees, big shrubs or any deep-rooted plants? And, amazingly, that’s not the designers' only problem; this empty, existing back yard also has an ugly wire fence overlooking a noisy railway line! If ever a challenge had been laid down to our intrepid garden designers, this is it! The clock is running and the heat is on, literally, as the team battle the blazing summer and a daunting schedule to make Cat and Joel’s dream come true.
