Ground Force - Season 11

1. Poplar

Aired: 3/1/2004

The team create a new garden for east London resident Susanne, who wants to connect her land to her sister's property next door. They develop a circular theme with a round patio and seating made from an old fireplace hearth, as well as adding eye-catching plants and water features. But they only have two days to finish the task before Susanne's sister returns, and there are three skiploads of crazy paving to get rid of before they can start.

2. Castle Donington

The green-fingered team comes to the aid of a woman in Castle Donington who wants to create a new garden for her grandmother, with an easy walking surface, a pond and raised beds for plants, as well as a gazebo to do the crossword in.

3. Croydon

The team come to the aid of a preachers family who want to transform their garden. Unable to proceed with the children's original idea of paving half the garden, Tommy Walsh comes up with an alternative plan - creating a sunken plot complete with large stone water feature.

4. Kingswinford

The team erect a summerhouse with a verandah and create a mini knot-garden surrounded by cottage-style brick paving for a family man who has packed his wife and kids off to a holiday camp.

5. Ilford

The team create a wheelchair-friendly garden, including raised beds and ponds, for an Essex woman with brittle bone syndrome. Her close friend had thought about paving the plot, but this proves too ambitious a plan for their tight schedule. Instead, they build a ramp from the existing deck and lay a gravel path on special matting designed to make it safe for a wheelchair.

6. Beckenham Kent

The green-fingered gurus travel to Beckenham in Kent to help teenage twins surprise their hard-working mother with a garden makeover. The boys have a bit of spare time now that they've finished their GCSEs and with the team's help create a shapely path, decking and an arboretum, and renovate the tumbledown gazebo.

7. Bacup

Aired: 6/23/2004

The team come to the aid of a woman from Bacup who has fostered more than 70 children, all under the age of two. Janet Hill has always wanted a garden she can sit in with the babies, so while she's away Charlie and Tommy step in. But while they make short work of the planting, paving, pergolas and water features, the project hits a snag when a sewer pipe is damaged.

8. Molesey Surrey

Charlie Dimmock and Tommy Walsh create a garden for a lock-keeper in Molesey, Surrey, on the bank of the River Thames. While the oblivious owner is away on a health and safety course, the team builds a shady, secluded area with decking and a small water feature, as well as using a new process to lay cobbled paving in record time. However, while the rush to meet the usual two-day deadline, lock-keeper Steve is not in any hurry to come back.
