In each episode Matt James visits a home located in the city, which usually contains a dilapidated and/or tiny garden area that needs major renovation.
The space is surveyed and Matt develops a design for the garden in keeping with the homeowner's usually modest budget.
In order to get the most out of their money, the home owners usually invite friends and family to help with manual labour.
This can include breaking concrete, removing bricks and stone, tearing up grass and topsoil, or even completely removing existing soil in favor of soil that will be more suitable for sustaining plant life.
