Ground Force Your Garden
Totally floored
Regular Ground Force viewers won’t fail to have noticed Tommy’s penchant for decking. Unsurprising really as it’s one of the most versatile and affordable flooring solutions available. See Laying Decking for a step-by-step guide on getting it right. You can also create some stunning effects with gravel and paving, so check out Laying a Patio and Ground-Breaking Gravel.
Hide and chic
Screens are perfect for creating distinct zones in your garden, or shielding unsightly areas such as bins, sheds or barbeques. Bamboo or willow make great instant screens, or check out Living Fence for ideas on using hedging and hurdle fencing.
Get planting
And here’s the fun bit. For instant impact go for plants that are already established. Architectural plants are great for creating focus in a garden: see Plant It Up! for big planting ideas and Topiary Garden for impressive sculptured pieces. Bedding plants are great for adding a splash of colour, but make it a single splash rather than a riot. And for ideas on planting borders see Creating a Border and Bright Borders.
And finally…
Crack open a bottle of bubbly. You deserve it!

Hi Alison, Ground Force hung up their shovels 3 years ago, it does say so in my post above yours.
Also when it was being made you had to apply to the programme makers, not here on a public forum.
This forum is run by UKTV style gardens, they only show the programmes, they don't make them.
