Commenting on his garden before the makeover, he added: “It was a right mess. Flags were stuck out and we didn’t have time to fix it.”
The transformation was “amazing”, says James, who is keen to tune in himself to see how the expert team achieved the finished result.
"I didn’t the progress stage by stage, just the beginning and the end. I want to see the middle bits and how they did it. I’ve been waiting 12 months.
