Tommy is titillating
Charlie is charming
Will is wonderful
and
Kirsty is captivating
but ALAN is Alluring, affectionate and a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
He is a comic, a character and extremely clever. He is also a very proficient at what he does. I have a large garden, but unfortunately could not afford the cost to try to have the team dress it for me.

I always wondered how the makeovers were paid for. So it is the garden owner who pays for everything is it? I thought that the BBC would contribute as surely they are getting a very cheap show in prime time!!

Didn't they ditch Ground Force? I thought they were only having a couple of programmes during the day such as Garden Rivals & Model Gardens.
I must admit, I miss the lot of them especially Alan - he's great. He & Tommy bounced off each other with such humour they really made the programme work.

I love Ground Force but go crazy at the idea that it's never my garden that's getting the going over. Why can't Will persuade the team to come to Ireland with its forty shades of green (i.e. green weeds!!). How about it. Are you up to the challenge?? I bet not. The gardens here are too big maybe!! What about it??

I don't think they've done Groundforce for ages. I did like it, it was definitely the best makeover show.

WE,VE COMPLETED THE INSIDE AND FIND OURSELVES STRUGGLING WITH THE FUNDS AND IDEAS TO START THE GARDEN AND TO DEFINE ITS BOUNDARIES. I HOPE THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED, I DONT THINK THAT THE TEAM WOULD HAVE COME UP AGAINST A GARDEN LIKE OURS BEFORE, VERY STRANGE.

Please help, we have a 125 foot garden we have completed about 1/6th of it. We have lived here 5 years and never have had the time or money to complete it, it's starting to get depressing.

I have built a pond which our fish love with a rockery water fall (nearly all of the rocks were found in the bush which frames the garden) Tongue , i'm starting to suffer with my hands and back and i'm getting tired of starting and stopping, please help us, we live in Redditch, Worcestershire, that may put you off because of the clay, but i'm sure that you are up for the challenge (and a challenge it will be Tommy). Tea, coffee, beer, water not a problem.

Many thanks, wondering willow. xx

Hello ground force, I have been eager to try the ground force quiz, but unless I have it wrong I can not find it in this section. Please would you point me in the right direction. Thank you Lubybell.

Hi all

We have just moved into a house in Northamptonshire and have a 3 tiered garden that needs some imagination, especially on the bottom tier, which runs down to a stream and spinney, and is fairly steeply sloped.

We have very good access at both front and rear of the property with a large private drive and double gates leading to the rear of the garden.

If you are looking to do a make over, we would love you to pick us!... we have no idea what to do with this garden!!!

Kind regards

Scott & Judy

Please, Please help, my garden is a nightmare my husband dug it all up about a year ago with all good intentions.
He works very long hours getting up at 2am in the morning and working 6 days a week. He watches Ground Force regular to get ideas but I don't think he knows where to start or how! You make it look so easy! I would love to help and see his face when he see's his garden transformed into his dream he will probably cry! At my wits end.

Hello all, I am sorry to tell you but "Groundforce" hung up their tools in 2005 (it does say so on this website) The website you are reading also belongs to UKTV, they only show the programmes, they do not make them.

But do have a look around this website for lots of useful information.

Good luck

Martin
