WEEK 12:
BACKYARD
Ricky and Haydn, two "exceptionally good-looking" novices, took on the challenge of landscaping their backyard themselves after their previous teams pulled out. Despite their lack of experience, they managed to create a stunning outdoor space that impressed the judges. The large lawn area, perfect for backyard cricket and footy, was a standout feature, as was the impressive pool, swing set, and unique Grafico palm tree tiles. While the judges acknowledged that the space could have benefited from the finishing touches of a professional team, they were overall impressed with the boys' creativity, effort, and the overall aesthetic appeal of their backyard.
