Battle Fronts

Con and Theresa's dream is to have a front yard where his daughters can play in a safe environment and they can all have fun. Valda wants a driveway for her car and somewhere to relax surrounded by greenery. Can the teams transform their lawns from dull to delightful?

Carla and her boys have been living in the area for 23 years and 8 years ago Lena and Vatch moved next door. Both families hit it off straight away and now they've got even more in common - both their front yards are in desperate need of a makeover. The teams turn both front yards from baron to lush with extras surprises for both families.

Martin and his wife Katie want a low maintenance garden. Although torrential rain made the job difficult, the team still managed to transform boring into beautiful. Janelle and Tim's house is the epitome of an Australian native cottage and their new garden should reflect the same.

Kerryn is embarrassed by her yard when visitors come over and wants somewhere nice to spend time with the girls. Jacqueline and Jason often differ in opinion on their front yard. Jacqueline seems to know what she's talking about when it comes to the garden, but by the time she gets to fixing it, Jason has come in with a bull dozer and taken everything out.

Michelle has had several Gardening Companies come and design a new garden none have returned as she feels the garden is too small a job for them. Pauline doesn't want to spend a lot of time maintaining the garden, so the planting is simple, easy to look after and water-wise.

Alan and Catherine are looking for the privacy they need to sit on their balcony, read the papers and generally relax in the sun, surrounded by lush greenery. Danny and Sarah have renovated their property but the front yard needs attention. The family enjoy sitting out on the veranda and lounging in the front yard while the children play on their bikes.

Diane is very much into meditation and Feng Shui and would like the house to have positive feng shui. For her, a low maintenance, succulent garden with a dramatic feature at the centre is perfect. And for Toula and Nick Pooullos, it's a design based on smooth flowing lines and a series of circular mounded garden beds surrounded by crushed white gravel.

Jill and Collin would like a garden that gives a safe and inviting welcome to her clients and provide a place for them to enjoy a quiet moment or two. Brett and Maree like to entertain and want a friendly sitting area as well as a space for the kids to play.
