FunTranscript
00:00:00to think that you could landscape a tall backyard in a week.
00:00:02It's landscape week, we've got lots to do.
00:00:04Big space, big space means a lot of things that need to be done,
00:00:07which means a lot of money.
00:00:08I keep just saying, any money you win is going to go into your landscape.
00:00:11Has anyone gone through the block and not won a room?
00:00:15Yep.
00:00:16We have not had a win yet.
00:00:18Thank you for pointing that out.
00:00:19We are going out with a bang.
00:00:22Even though some put plans in motion weeks ago,
00:00:25building a winning dales for the backyard hasn't been a bed of roses.
00:00:29This is meant to be a fun week.
00:00:31There's been compliance issues.
00:00:33The fireplace is not compliant.
00:00:36Concrete slab between the pool and the deck was too steep.
00:00:39This may have to be ripped up.
00:00:42This slab cost me 20 grand.
00:00:44Budget strains.
00:00:45Hold off until we work out how much we care for.
00:00:48Redone it.
00:00:50We're going to make the most idyllic, beautiful Japanese Zen garden.
00:00:53A lot of time and money.
00:00:55Neither of those we have.
00:00:56I'm not doing what everyone else is doing.
00:00:58I will do what I want to do.
00:01:00And it wouldn't be Backyard Week without a gift from the gods.
00:01:04And now it's officially landscaping week.
00:01:06Tonight.
00:01:06Step right up, step right up.
00:01:08The greatest show on earth.
00:01:10It's the final push to Backyard Reveals.
00:01:13And there's no time for clowning around.
00:01:16Do you reckon we're getting it done?
00:01:17Fine, done.
00:01:18A lot to do.
00:01:19A lot to do?
00:01:20Yeah.
00:01:21Go next door.
00:01:21That's a lot to do.
00:01:23But how will it all end?
00:01:28Joining the Ringmasters tonight is special guest and landscape guru, Dave Franklin.
00:01:33You're going to have a fantastic garden here and it's going to be hard to beat.
00:01:36But not everyone is on the bandwagon.
00:01:38I don't really like what I'm looking at.
00:01:39What is the purpose of that?
00:01:43I think this is a massive, massive error.
00:01:47It could be the only thing that turns a buyer off.
00:01:49And big secrets are revealed.
00:01:52But that's not all.
00:01:53Oh my gosh.
00:01:55Massive.
00:01:56Absolutely massive.
00:01:57Wide to our faces.
00:01:59Oh, you're going down in the last week, I tell you.
00:02:02Oh, dead.
00:02:24Too much to do, I suppose.
00:02:25It is the biggest week of them all.
00:02:32It's landscaping week.
00:02:33Yep, you heard it right.
00:02:35This week is the biggest week of them all.
00:02:37Because with each backyard measuring over a thousand square metres, it's literally the
00:02:41biggest area our blockheads have had to finish this season.
00:02:45Essentially from the back doors of the rumpus.
00:02:48Rumpus and the back bedroom.
00:02:49Back.
00:02:50So that includes pool area.
00:02:52Cold plunge and hot plunge.
00:02:53Paving around it.
00:02:54Pool cabana.
00:02:56What's it called?
00:02:57Well, we're not sure if it's a cabana or a cabana.
00:03:03Cabana.
00:03:04Cabana.
00:03:05It's definitely cabana.
00:03:06Cabana.
00:03:09In Adelaide, a cabana is a meat stick.
00:03:15And for those who know Matt.
00:03:17No.
00:03:18Everyone's got a big sausage in their backyard.
00:03:21Oh, we just call it a pool house.
00:03:24Straight to the pool house, dawg.
00:03:25Yeah.
00:03:26Pool room.
00:03:26It's very us, isn't it?
00:03:28Pool house.
00:03:29And you can bet your bottom dollar our teams have a long list of features going in their
00:03:33backyards to help stand out from the rest and win ten grand for their front yard next week.
00:03:39Look at that.
00:03:44Matt and I believe Landscaping Week is probably one of the most important weeks.
00:03:49And if you win Landscaping Week, you've got a really good crack at taking over the competition.
00:03:5324 hours to go.
00:03:58We will be using every single minute of those 24 hours.
00:04:01We've never done a pool cabana.
00:04:02We've never built a cellar.
00:04:04We've never landscaped to this scale.
00:04:07Hardest week by a country mile.
00:04:09Predominantly because of the big setback we had when we had to pull up the concrete slab.
00:04:13Ah, yes, that was a massive concrete slab that joined the feature deck stairs to the pool area.
00:04:20Ten mil over a hundred mil.
00:04:22That's like five times the limit.
00:04:23Like, it's steep.
00:04:24This may have to be ripped up.
00:04:30Yeah, the concrete skate ramp that had to be deleted really lost us about two days.
00:04:35Or probably more because by the time that we had to, like, put the new retaining wall in,
00:04:39that only happened yesterday.
00:04:40Like, putting this retaining wall in, and Colin goes,
00:04:43Get rid of this retaining wall.
00:04:45And I want to put grass.
00:04:46It comes over.
00:04:47He's not joking.
00:04:48Are you not joking?
00:04:49No.
00:04:49And I was like, are you serious?
00:04:53Like, we've just spent four days putting this in.
00:04:56I know there's a lot of work, but it's the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
00:04:59I couldn't, I didn't know what to do.
00:05:01So I was like, oh, we'll wait till Emma comes back and she can decide.
00:05:05Holy doly!
00:05:06We're trying to work out the ugliest retaining wall.
00:05:08The ugliest retaining wall?
00:05:09I've ever seen you guys build.
00:05:11What's the game plan?
00:05:12Just shovel dirt?
00:05:13We're going to make that flat for you.
00:05:15Yep.
00:05:16And then you're going to have some stairs there.
00:05:17Yep.
00:05:18And I want to put grass that comes over.
00:05:20Yep.
00:05:21It looks epic.
00:05:22Let me go find a space.
00:05:23And you just said, yeah, go for it.
00:05:24I don't really care.
00:05:26Colin's the designer, and he knows what's going to look good, so.
00:05:30We had dirt, then we had concrete, and now we have dirt again.
00:05:32Now the dirt's going over the retaining wall, so we're going to have the grass roll over it.
00:05:36Still serving its purpose, it's still retaining everything, but we've just got a thin layer
00:05:40of soil over the top, which the grass will roll over.
00:05:44So that's the retaining wall finally sorted.
00:05:47Now how about those other pressure points?
00:05:49The cellar is so far off, and pull cabana, the shell's there.
00:05:55Unfinished.
00:05:56It's got a sauna in there, it's got tiles, and that's it.
00:06:00We're pretty screwed.
00:06:02I think just the stress of trying to put a cellar in as well is really tricky.
00:06:06And we obviously want to try and do a really great job like the boys did, so we're comparing
00:06:11ourselves to them, which is hard when they get three tens.
00:06:14At the block's hardest working tilers, the Curcio's, have agreed to tile the cellar floor.
00:06:20Yeah, the Curcio brothers have come to save us.
00:06:23Save the day!
00:06:29This week, with Sonny and Alicia's permission...
00:06:31Are you painting the rocks on?
00:06:32Fantastic.
00:06:33No, you're going to be gluing the rocks on.
00:06:36Curcio times three...
00:06:38...have been spreading the love across the block, working in four of the five houses.
00:06:43Are you ready for the circus?
00:06:45Are you ready?
00:06:46They're ready to go now.
00:06:48Wine cellar needed sanding this morning, so Plasterer did that quickly.
00:06:52And then the Curcio brothers came and helped out with some tiling.
00:06:57Start at that end and work our way down.
00:06:58House one can take out this week, but they've got to finish their cellar.
00:07:02And that's the big issue we've got at the moment.
00:07:03Everything outside that wine cellar is looking amazing.
00:07:06They've got the gnome.
00:07:09Who's his hairy doing on it?
00:07:10I'm like...
00:07:11They need that wine cellar finished.
00:07:17Next door in house two...
00:07:20Han and Ken are also getting a helping hand from Han's dad, Lee.
00:07:24I'll claim these and we'll just grout it in.
00:07:26Yeah.
00:07:26They're going for a Japanese-style garden designed by their landscaper, Christian.
00:07:31But with little money in the budget and less manpower, it's anything but zen.
00:07:36There's a lot to do still, probably furthest behind.
00:07:39We need the pool fence to go in.
00:07:41We need to clean the pool, fill the pool.
00:07:43Obviously the rain yesterday didn't help.
00:07:46Tiling the cabana.
00:07:48Trying to clean the cabana, grout the cabana, paint the cabana.
00:07:51Oh, I've got to go pick up furniture.
00:07:54There's boxes all through the driveway.
00:07:55It's a lot to do.
00:07:57A real lot to do.
00:07:59Do you need a hand with your tiling?
00:08:01Han should be helping her.
00:08:03Who?
00:08:03She's painting inside.
00:08:04We need help out here.
00:08:05We'll be right, Dan.
00:08:07You sure?
00:08:07Yep.
00:08:08I've heard that before.
00:08:09Okay.
00:08:09Oh, look, this is just poor time management right now.
00:08:13This is what this is.
00:08:15I can't see them finishing today.
00:08:16I really can't.
00:08:18Priorities are not where they should be.
00:08:19We're focusing off too much in there.
00:08:22We're just going to paint it or leave it and just come out here and get out here looking good.
00:08:26There's no point in having a pool cabana if we can't get water in the pool.
00:08:28I got nothing, I got nothing, I got nothing to do.
00:08:39Pressure washer.
00:08:40Well, just, yeah, it's always a good sign when the pressure washer comes out, isn't it?
00:08:43Leave it nearing the end.
00:08:45Feeling good.
00:08:46We've managed our trades well and we're in a really good spot.
00:08:49Obviously, we have all this land, but we're so lucky because we have this huge seven and
00:08:54half ton fireplace and then an 18 by eight pickleball court.
00:08:58So that takes up a lot of real estate in our backyard.
00:09:01So winning that was a great thing.
00:09:03Now that it's all come to life, like, it's pretty emotional looking at it.
00:09:07I can't be happier, to be honest.
00:09:08I wouldn't change a thing.
00:09:09Well done, lads.
00:09:10There's the hen in the house.
00:09:11She's getting there.
00:09:12What's that?
00:09:13Who's that?
00:09:14The hell?
00:09:14Oh, it's my husband.
00:09:15Wowee.
00:09:16Hello, Chris, the plumber.
00:09:18Hello, hello.
00:09:19How are you?
00:09:20Now, that shower head is all good to go and be kicked up from Howard Street Race.
00:09:24All right, thanks, mate.
00:09:26Appreciate it.
00:09:26I'll talk to you.
00:09:29He pretty just asked me to be his boyfriend, so I'm like, whatever.
00:09:32Like, stop calling it all the time.
00:09:36Sunny and Alicia are yet to win a room, and with only two more chances up for grabs, they
00:09:40could make block history and be the first ever couple to go home without a win.
00:09:46We're on the podium.
00:09:47We're either second or third, and just can't seem to get that win.
00:09:50This week, they're going all out with a family-friendly backyard, and they're the only ones with a fully
00:09:55self-contained pool cabana.
00:09:57Are we going to finish?
00:09:59Yes, we are.
00:09:59We are going to finish.
00:10:00We always finish.
00:10:01Let it down on the 11th week.
00:10:03We're in a good spot today.
00:10:04The boys went hard yesterday.
00:10:06They planted every single one of these trees yesterday, and so to do that meant that they
00:10:10could pretty much turf today.
00:10:12How do you feel about the space?
00:10:14Do you think you're in the running?
00:10:14Oh, listen, we could be in.
00:10:17We could be out.
00:10:19We could be in with three 10s, and someone will get three 11s, so we'll come second again.
00:10:25Stone and Lisa, Stone and Lisa.
00:10:29Stone and Lisa, it's a work of art.
00:10:33Don't you know the room wasn't built in a day?
00:10:36I think for us, we've put such a high importance on landscaping.
00:10:40And from day one, we said kitchen and backyard landscaping is our number one priority.
00:10:46And it's safe to say that after weeks of planning, Britt and Taz are throwing everything they've
00:10:51got at securing a win this week.
00:10:53There was nothing else we could do.
00:10:55Because we asked, we said, what else should we do?
00:10:57How do we elevate this?
00:10:58And Troy's gone, we cannot.
00:11:00Like, we've got a creek running through the backyard.
00:11:02We've got all the amenity you need.
00:11:05You've got your spa, saunas, ice baths, fruit orchard.
00:11:08Greenhouse, chicken coop.
00:11:09A massive fireplace, all stone cladded.
00:11:12It's a statement piece of our backyard.
00:11:14We wanted, there is just the one case of the flu.
00:11:18Ah, yes, that issue with the fireplace flu.
00:11:21You've got to be 300mm above the roofline.
00:11:24We can't build the chimney out of bricks that high.
00:11:27It's just not going to be structurally stable.
00:11:29So the question is, do we get a flu made up?
00:11:33More about the flu later.
00:11:35This morning, Taz's mind is elsewhere.
00:11:37You're all very quiet today.
00:11:40Yeah, my brother's getting married today.
00:11:42So...
00:11:43You know, when you come on the show, these are like one of the many sacrifices that you make.
00:11:49So this was one of them.
00:11:51You know, you go three months without your kids, you miss birthdays, weddings, funerals, all of it for this.
00:12:01Um, you can walk away with nothing.
00:12:07We're very family first people, Britt and I, so it's a little bit flattening, but this is the biggest day for us on the block.
00:12:13This Saturday is our everything, so...
00:12:15Hey, mate, how are you?
00:12:20Hello.
00:12:21Looking good, mate.
00:12:22Looking very smart.
00:12:23Looking really good.
00:12:26Hey, Dad, how are you?
00:12:28Locked her out, man.
00:12:29Yeah, we dressed up for the occasion.
00:12:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:31I'm so ready.
00:12:32Real sharp, man, real sharp.
00:12:33Sorry we can't be there today, mate.
00:12:35You look unreal.
00:12:37I hope you have a real good day.
00:12:38We're very proud of you.
00:12:39And, yeah, I'm glad Carter and Mila can be there for us and, you know, watch you go down.
00:12:45No worries.
00:12:45Thanks very much.
00:12:46Thanks for the call.
00:12:47He loves his show.
00:12:49He loves, you know, he's a landscaper.
00:12:51So we're in landscape week, so it's only fitting, I reckon.
00:12:54No, he would have, you know, we would have loved to have him down here.
00:12:57We would have been here.
00:12:58When you win, I'll see you back here.
00:13:00Wedding present would want to be good, I'd tell you that much.
00:13:02Well, you could have your wedding here, Regan.
00:13:05Yes, beautiful.
00:13:07Yeah, it looks really good.
00:13:08You're doing really well.
00:13:09Thanks, mate.
00:13:10All right.
00:13:10Proud of you, mate.
00:13:11Take care, all right?
00:13:12Speak to you.
00:13:12See you later.
00:13:13See you, Chris.
00:13:13Bye.
00:13:15I'm just so proud of him.
00:13:17You know, the family he's created and we just, we wish you could be a part of it because
00:13:22it's so important to us family.
00:13:23But, yeah, we know, we know how important it is to be here and I'm just glad our kids are
00:13:30there for us as well.
00:13:35Got me crying.
00:13:37You just, yeah, you wish you could be there but, no, we're here for a reason.
00:13:44It's, yeah, it's hot.
00:13:45It's Saturday afternoon and all our blockheads are busy racing to complete their backyards
00:14:07by 9am tomorrow morning.
00:14:13Well, most of them.
00:14:14This is a life.
00:14:23Today and today only.
00:14:25Folks, step right up, step right up.
00:14:27The greatest show on earth.
00:14:29Yeah, the Curzios are here.
00:14:35The Circus is in town.
00:14:38A bit stressed out that we hadn't ordered enough files.
00:14:41Yeah.
00:14:41It turns out we'd ordered one too many.
00:14:43Lucky we didn't make a mistake.
00:14:45Oh, no, very lucky.
00:14:46We couldn't make any errors.
00:14:48Lucky we had the best boys in the biz on it.
00:14:50Normally, a Saturday comes around and we are styling by afternoon, night time.
00:15:02Not this week?
00:15:03No.
00:15:04No.
00:15:04It was dire.
00:15:06Benji's going to plug along with the salad and I'm going to focus on the pork cabana.
00:15:09I think I'd given up on the salad.
00:15:11Yeah.
00:15:12What do you reckon?
00:15:13Do you reckon we're going to get it done?
00:15:15It's a fine done.
00:15:19In House 3, the High Pages stonemasons, with the help of the Curzios, have performed a
00:15:24block miracle and have finished recladding Britt and Taz's Statement fireplace in record
00:15:29time.
00:15:30I believe in miracles.
00:15:32It looks amazing.
00:15:33And they're making good progress in their cabana.
00:15:36Wow.
00:15:36Getting there.
00:15:38Look at that.
00:15:39It's beautiful.
00:15:39It was commissioned for us by a local udders.
00:15:42No.
00:15:42We have a beautiful custom Graphico from a local Jar Jar artist.
00:15:47So that's going to be the hero of the room.
00:15:50We're also doing the Home Pro installation of curtains on the ceiling like we've done in
00:15:54the wellness room.
00:15:55Just to keep that flow, keep that continuity.
00:15:57This is where you tie everything together, isn't it?
00:15:59Yeah.
00:15:59With your wellness area and that room that you wouldn't budge on.
00:16:02You have one living space and that's it.
00:16:05And it will impact them on the market.
00:16:09We love it.
00:16:10We love the room.
00:16:11We don't want to change it.
00:16:12We don't want to change it.
00:16:13We knew the vision of what that whole space is going to be.
00:16:16The reformer room, the ice bath, the hot tub, the sauna.
00:16:20You've got other sitting areas.
00:16:21You're going to have the pool cabana.
00:16:23I mean, for us, we're the wellness house.
00:16:25So it's now starting to make sense.
00:16:27Why the long face?
00:16:28A lot to do.
00:16:30A lot to do?
00:16:30Yeah.
00:16:31Go next door.
00:16:32That's a lot to do.
00:16:33Who's there?
00:16:34That's a lot to do.
00:16:38You're in a really good spot.
00:16:40You're stressing about the floor.
00:16:42The chimney needs to be a certain height relevant to the distance to the house.
00:16:51As the chimney is very close to the house, it needs to be built up past the height of the roof for it to be compliant.
00:16:58But bricks that high are a structural issue.
00:17:01So Britt and Taz need to add a steel cylinder flue to reach regulation height.
00:17:06We've got to put a scat up.
00:17:08And then put a flue in.
00:17:09And then put the scat down.
00:17:10That's tomorrow morning.
00:17:11That's tomorrow's job.
00:17:12Only installation time they have is 7am on Sunday.
00:17:16Pushing it.
00:17:18Oh, yeah.
00:17:19Just want to be in the race.
00:17:20You're in the race.
00:17:21Yeah.
00:17:21I can tell you right now.
00:17:23You're in it.
00:17:24Thanks, Dan.
00:17:30I've just wished, I've wished since the beginning, I've wished for a Saturday
00:17:35where we were just like polishing and priming and styling.
00:17:41We were just a day ahead.
00:17:44Everything was done.
00:17:45I'm yet to have that day on the block.
00:17:49Pull 13 up.
00:17:50Pull tiles, not complete.
00:17:53The cabana's not anywhere near complete.
00:17:56Tiles still need to be done.
00:17:57No paint on.
00:17:58Like, I'm just, no.
00:18:00How's your day going, Matt?
00:18:06Yeah.
00:18:07Well, it's been a lovely day, to be honest.
00:18:09Now I have a night making furniture.
00:18:11Hardcore landscaping is completely done, which is a huge plus.
00:18:15But there's still this other factor of making that landscaping look good by styling.
00:18:19How the f*** does this even work?
00:18:22I was putting together flat pack furniture, and House 3's landscaper came in through our
00:18:29back door, and he goes,
00:18:31Hey, mate.
00:18:32Hello.
00:18:32How you going?
00:18:33Good.
00:18:34Now, Paul knows I'm coming to have a look.
00:18:35Okay.
00:18:36I'd prefer if you didn't, though.
00:18:37Oh, it's okay.
00:18:38I'm mates with Paul, who's our landscaper.
00:18:40And I said, no, thank you.
00:18:42That is a snake move.
00:18:46Not having a...
00:18:47He can come through and have a look after judging, but Taz and Britt are our biggest competition.
00:18:53We had the fire going, we were doing all the styling.
00:18:56If he comes out there and goes, they've got their fire lit, they're going to be doing this,
00:19:00they've got this on their table, you know, they could see what we're doing, they could
00:19:04get an upper hand.
00:19:05So I said, sorry, mate, back to House 3.
00:19:08He's the boss, it's his house, you can see who's allowed in and who's allowed out.
00:19:12So I said, no worries, turned around and came back.
00:19:15He wasn't thrilled with it.
00:19:16I could tell by the look on his face, but, you know, I'd rather, I'd rather win.
00:19:21Hmm.
00:19:21So then we found a trampoline.
00:19:28There's no one in there.
00:19:31Looks good.
00:19:32Yeah, looks okay.
00:19:33You know what, he looked at our backyard, so let's go look at theirs.
00:19:36Lots of arbors, they look like match suits.
00:19:39After seeing that, he thought, it's a perfect opportunity to play hide and seek.
00:19:44I wouldn't call it hide and seek, I'd call it peekaboo.
00:19:46What can you see, mate?
00:19:49A Japanese garden.
00:19:51A Japanese arbor.
00:19:53We'll just have a little look every time.
00:19:56I can see bricks.
00:19:58A brick thing.
00:19:58See a pool.
00:20:00And there's Ben.
00:20:01Hey, Ben.
00:20:03We didn't get to see too much, to be honest.
00:20:06Everyone's got a beautiful yard.
00:20:09We're going to be biased and say ours is the most beautiful and ours is the best.
00:20:12Yeah.
00:20:13She's bloody looking good.
00:20:15Afternoon delight.
00:20:17Skyrocketing flight.
00:20:20Afternoon delight.
00:20:25Afternoon delight.
00:20:26How are you feeling, mate?
00:20:35Yeah, I just feel like it's just slipping away a little bit, actually.
00:20:39Yeah.
00:20:40What do you do?
00:20:41It's a beautiful garden.
00:20:43Absolutely.
00:20:44Yeah, it's a beautiful garden.
00:20:45We're proud of it, but we'll just give it our best shot.
00:20:51You might love the garden, but is it going to get done?
00:20:54I don't know.
00:20:56I love a flat pack.
00:21:13Everyone knows lesbians love a flat pack.
00:21:18Read up on it.
00:21:19I didn't know about it, and I'm a lesbian, so I don't know how that works out.
00:21:24Oh.
00:21:24You mustn't be a real lesbian.
00:21:26Do you believe in block magic?
00:21:34Block magic.
00:21:35Yeah.
00:21:36It's a miracle.
00:21:41Inspiring because everyone was just keen to see it finished.
00:21:44What a team, huh?
00:21:45Oh, yeah.
00:21:46You guys have honestly saved us.
00:21:49That's what you knew.
00:21:50That's what you realised.
00:21:51Everyone had bought in.
00:21:52Everyone had bought into the dream of actually finishing this, and it required us both to
00:21:59believe it for everyone else to as well.
00:22:02Yeah.
00:22:03I reckon you've got a chance to get three tens.
00:22:05Pretty epic, isn't it?
00:22:06The only thing I think you're missing is some dry prosciutto up here.
00:22:10If you had some dry prosciutto, I reckon you'd get a ten.
00:22:12Any prosciutto shops open at this hour?
00:22:14I'm not sure, but if you don't get your hands on it, it definitely won't be a ten.
00:22:17Good morning, Leigh.
00:22:31Oh, good morning.
00:22:41Oh, look at it going.
00:22:42Phenomenal.
00:22:45We have to just get everything all sorted and be pretty.
00:22:49And I like being sorted and pretty.
00:22:51It's all about selling the dream.
00:22:57We're trying to sell the dream, so we need to put the flue in the fireplace.
00:23:03We really want, really, really want to sell that fire.
00:23:06It's a beautiful backyard.
00:23:07We couldn't, like, there's nothing we'd change about it.
00:23:09We're just going to do all the little extras now, clean style.
00:23:12Get that bloody flute on, and then we're laughing.
00:23:15Get the what on?
00:23:17The flute.
00:23:23Would you look at that!
00:23:26Considering what that wine cellar was only 12 hours ago...
00:23:32...you just wouldn't think it's possible.
00:23:35Girl on a mission.
00:23:36I'm walking on sunshine.
00:23:38Jeez.
00:23:395,000 steps this morning alone.
00:23:43Love it.
00:23:44Love it a million.
00:23:45I love this backyard.
00:23:47I actually, like, I love this backyard.
00:23:50You can imagine having a big party on there, too.
00:23:52Say, whoever buys it, we're coming to Christmas.
00:23:58It's not a catwalk.
00:23:59Yeah, I think it's safe to say that we're going to win this week.
00:24:18How are you, Christian?
00:24:19Me?
00:24:20Yeah.
00:24:21Pfft.
00:24:22Couldn't be better.
00:24:23Ha, ha!
00:24:39Oh, yeah.
00:24:40One minute, Lee.
00:24:42Hallelujah.
00:24:44Dad, light the fire.

00:25:46Another beautiful morning
00:25:48and it's a perfect day
00:25:50for a room reveal.
00:25:52Now, I suppose you're wondering why I brought Darren here this morning.
00:25:54Well, I cannot drive two cars
00:25:56at the same time.
00:25:58And I'm also thinking that you're asking
00:26:00what is this?
00:26:02Wow.
00:26:04Well, this is the brand new
00:26:06MGU9.
00:26:08It's their very own ute.
00:26:10It is a 2.5 litre turbo diesel.
00:26:12It's got 3.5 tonne towing capacity.
00:26:16It's their very first shoot
00:26:18and it's an absolute ripper.
00:26:20Oh, it's nice.
00:26:22Darren, of course, is driving the latest version
00:26:24of the Super Hybrid that you've been driving
00:26:26these past couple of weeks.
00:26:28And guess what?
00:26:30What?
00:26:32Will win both these cars next week.
00:26:34Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
00:26:36Oh, my goodness.
00:26:38That is correct.
00:26:40The winner of Front Yard and Front Facade Week
00:26:42will win both these cars.
00:26:44The ute, going straight in your driveway
00:26:46to sell with your homes.
00:26:48And the Super Hybrid, ready for you to jump in
00:26:50and drive all the way home to keep for yourselves.

00:28:08Round of applause.
00:28:09Let's head to some feedback and find out who's going to take home the last $10,000 from
00:28:17MG.
00:28:18M and Ben.
00:28:19Week 11 was probably our worst week on the block.
00:28:20Worst as in?
00:28:21Most challenging.
00:28:22Yeah.
00:28:23It was just really, really hard.
00:28:24It was full on.
00:28:25We have a winner.
00:28:26Yes!
00:28:27Yes!
00:28:28We have a winner!
00:28:29Yes!
00:28:30We have a winner!
00:28:31Yes!
00:28:32We won a sauna.
00:28:33You won a sauna.
00:28:34I did f***ing four.
00:28:35Boy, we got a wine cellar.
00:28:36Just the scale of this week's room reveal is ginormous.
00:28:37The plan is we've got to do this whole backyard.
00:28:41Just doing an added little bonus room of a cellar.
00:28:42We've got a pretty incredible design that's been created by our landscape.
00:28:44I'm Em.
00:28:45Hi, I'm Colin.
00:28:46Colin really wanted to incorporate the borrowed landscape.
00:28:47Just what was it?
00:28:48The rolling hills of Dalesford.
00:28:49Yeah.
00:28:50And the other thing will probably be the tree selection.
00:28:51We're replanting Dalesford.
00:28:52room reveal is ginormous the plan is we've got to do this whole backyard just doing an added
00:28:59little bonus room of a cellar we've got a pretty incredible design that's been created by our
00:29:04landscape i'm em hi i'm colin colin really wanted to incorporate the borrowed landscape just what
00:29:10was it the rolling hills of dalesford yeah and the other thing will probably be the tree selection
00:29:15we're replanting dalesford uh it looks like we're gonna have to lose all this paving what the bit
00:29:24between the deck and the pool is too steep so we have to get rid of all that concrete
00:29:34tuscan path pavers that we have here probably going to suit the style that you're looking for
00:29:39kind of like how organic looking these ones are i will take 50 please
00:29:43the retaining walls taken a lot longer than we hoped put the posts in so that sleepers could go
00:29:51in the next day colin said to me i really want to get rid of this returning wall are you serious like
00:29:59we've just spent four days putting this in i think if you'd asked us at the start of the week how this
00:30:05space is going to look the answer would be completely different to how the space looks right now it's all
00:30:11for the better like how this is all shaping up looks incredible and i'm i mean i'm so happy with it
00:30:17yeah i think the end outcome looks great
00:30:32that's great well hang on we now have dave franklin with us the expert on
00:30:56the landscaping you can tell us what the plants are and not marty everything's a fight your silly eye
00:31:05dave franklin told the others about your landscape designer the artist colin hyatt yeah he's not just
00:31:12a landscape designer he's actually an artist okay so when he's designing this here it's picking up the
00:31:18colors from the cedar trees which you see over to the left here but where we're standing here is
00:31:22basically designed as an amphitheater to look out at daleswood oh but this is a grandstand for family
00:31:28memories and portraits and photos and shana i can imagine you standing on the deck and singing and
00:31:34stop me just stop me i am about to
00:31:39don't love the undulating form of the landscape throughout and the tuscan path stepping stones
00:31:47obviously this is what colin's done so he's obviously mimicking the you know what daleswood's
00:31:51about and that's the rolling hills and that's what you've seen in the landscape through here
00:31:54yes is that what he said to you yeah yeah that was the brief borrowed landscape was the term to use
00:31:59basically 80 is uh native here uh very sustainable as well we've got some beautiful sheake pines up
00:32:05the back there and they are already two and a half three meters tall i'm expecting at least another
00:32:09half a meter by the time it comes auction time you know what you're going to have a fantastic garden
00:32:13here it's going to be hard to beat jona then spotted a fruit orchard they headed over
00:32:20and they think the fire pit is well placed how great is this for a little sitting spot get the
00:32:24marshmallows out beautiful because you can see the pool you can see the deck you can see everything
00:32:29around here i think this position is beautiful yeah and it's great to have a citrus garden for
00:32:35sustainability not to mention the ready availability of delicious fruit talking of sustainability the runoff
00:32:43from the gutters runs into that kingspan tank and then that feeds the irrigation boom done thinking
00:32:50of your domain listing marty thinks there's a great hero shot looking back at the house which takes in
00:32:56the pool and the cabana that is the hero shot showing such a unique house on this season i think
00:33:05this is going to be one of the hardest houses to beat in terms of how relative it is to the natural
00:33:10environment this here just screams dalesford because you can see it yeah in the foreground and
00:33:16around the pool dave franklin thinks the brown little hampton brick is a great choice works in
00:33:22perfectly with the malt works perfectly with the landscape you know so i think it's a winner into the
00:33:27cellar no way wow geez isn't this strategic from emma and ben they've got a full wine cellar
00:33:50darren thinks the pgh stone is stunning it's that natural environment color palette materials palette
00:33:57relates to the outside it relates to the landscape and it just feels really right for dalesford well
00:34:03this is their answer we are in a real estate competition this is adding value to the buyers
00:34:09and after seeing house five cellar this is the perfect chess move
00:34:16checkmate is what you're hoping for i'll bet yeah
00:34:19these guys are damn good players they're back in the game there are five great houses two with very
00:34:30substantial wine cellars and this one feels like you're at a cellar door that is a million dollar
00:34:38view i was going to say this is blowing my mind that's something that i should be designing my
00:34:43landscapes from now on i think this is just a massive tick
00:34:51shona agrees the whole space is beautifully presented and it wasn't even close when she
00:34:57visited on friday no no very far oh yeah look what they've done and styled to perfection
00:35:05that they've even decanted the wine and can i just say also emma is 18 weeks pregnant
00:35:11wow it's incredible really is power to the women yes mate oh good finally to the cabana darren noted
00:35:21the solar panels on the roof the solar panels as the roof geez that's smart that is so great i love
00:35:28the form too and the fact that that's printed it's beautiful incredible inside they found some smart
00:35:35thinking geez that's smart building in the steam saunas australia you get access to the view
00:35:43wow who would have thought wow ben and emma were going to put a couch in here and we're saying
00:35:49you're coming from the sauna the pool just a bench smart and i thought this was tiles and that's just
00:35:55not stuck down wall paper not stuck down wall paper yeah garen thinks the basin is heaven
00:36:03shona added the whole space is heaven i just love how luxury it feels and there's so many layers
00:36:13of luxury here that is what will capture the buyers and when they see this online this will jump through
00:36:18the screen this is prime location it's easy to live in it's easy to entertain and it's easy on the eye
00:36:27because it's so beautiful why would you ever leave it's incredible okay we need to leave because we've
00:36:32got four more of these wow what a start well done emma bent it's time for you to decide which contestants

00:37:58be able to store your rocks for you guys yeah the deal was we would have the rocks there till the end of
00:38:03that day yeah and they're actually still there so i think if anything we've been doing you guys a favor
00:38:08like we disagree to disagree we get on with it we spent our full fifteen thousand dollars in freedom
00:38:17furniture and then in our pool cabana i want to do like a curved lounge see i love this side
00:38:23and then the little so we need some like sun lounges how many of those can we order one two three
00:38:30four five we're on a tight budget here they're not cashed up you know where we're competing
00:38:39in this uh landscape week in a kind of handicap race
00:38:45so dad and i were both rendering inside the cabana that's your dad yeah we didn't want the ripple effect
00:38:51inside um i like it how are you feeling about the backyard yeah they're anxious we need to get the
00:39:00pool fencing in but we need these outer tiles down asap pan hasn't dried at all the pool fencing guys
00:39:09standing around scratching his head going they're not gonna be ready people on the other side beautiful
00:39:17the amazing torii gates went up this morning look at that torii gates are used in japan as an entry to
00:39:23a sacred place or a spiritual place and they look absolutely stunning i'm super proud of the fireplace
00:39:31that our high pages leverpool got us it looks spectacular freaking amazing
00:39:37we would just love to have another week to like really finesse it add some elements like go the
00:39:48full gung-ho on it but it is what it is tools down we're about to get judged for it so let's see what
00:39:55the judges say god i love a japanese maple yeah i like a japanese maple but i don't really like what i'm
00:40:05what i'm looking at oh what that quickly yeah that quickly from what we've just come from i'm sorry
00:40:12but i just he said this has a harsher feeling it has a lot of rock it's got a lot of pavers this is
00:40:22really hard for kids to run around they can trip they can hit themselves so it just has that harsher
00:40:27feel and the buyers will feel that walking out onto this well i do gotta say so this is a landscaper
00:40:35that i do know as well he's christian jenkins he's always got a bit of a japanese inspiration with him
00:40:41i get what you say it's harsh but you're looking at all the creepers through here which is dicondra
00:40:45okay so this will grow out before the auction i did actually see christian this morning so maybe just
00:40:52a little bit undercooked with some of the finishes you know that's why you can see that there's no water in
00:40:56the pool and the guys from protector trade were still doing the pool fencing at 8 a.m you guys
00:41:03really did come down to the wire didn't you we did yeah we cut it fine this week for sure
00:41:08i really like the stone i love how organic and natural edge it is and in the long term that
00:41:15dichondra once it grows all through and it will cover every single bit between all of this like grout in
00:41:22time that's going to be really really elegant i think it's great i do hear what you're saying about
00:41:29kids and running around and grass but it's over there
00:41:36lots of lawn for kids to play jona agrees she also really liked the use of boulders throughout
00:41:43i love the boulders the use of boulders and all the the plants that are around it there'll be a lot
00:41:49of softness and becomes very ornamental and a lot of people do gravitate to that marty agreed on this
00:41:56the boulders are a hero and the outdoor fireplace dave said that is so cool i've got to say i have
00:42:04not seen an outdoor fireplace that not is only circular but you've got your circular seating around
00:42:09it as well yeah this is a really good selling feature pan and can have nailed this from a real
00:42:14estate perspective because buyers will just like us right now naturally will just congregate here
00:42:19yeah this is such a great place to just sit look back at the property enjoy the sun yeah feels so
00:42:25intimate too as shona pointed out the modular walls are providing not only visual privacy but acoustic
00:42:33privacy as well what are the plants against the modular wall there it's a lily pilli that's water how's
00:42:38you they'll be a big head you can see it all the way around here so they are fast growing as well
00:42:43they get to like three four meters in height 100 amazing 100 yeah i think that will then take away
00:42:48a lot of that harshness that i've felt walking out marty also thought the deck around the pool
00:42:54is very appealing i mean it definitely has that more rustic feel doesn't it well okay i absolutely love
00:43:02the deck and i love the rawness of the edge i just wish they didn't put these feature tiles in here yeah
00:43:09if that was just plain yeah this is the hero yes this is beautiful that fourth material is a little
00:43:19bit too much checkerboard in the garage it does it's not needed yeah marty thought you had great furniture
00:43:26around the pool was that all from freedom it was a big freedom advert this week one thing that we
00:43:32haven't noticed are these arbors over here okay so that's where that japanese influence comes from
00:43:38so there is a story about these arbors here so obviously scotty's got a sawmill he milled up the
00:43:43timber and brought it to christian and christian built it right on site oh it's beautiful it's stunning
00:43:50into the cabana and marty was perplexed with the layout internally there's a couch on one side that
00:43:55doesn't really look at anything including the tv why have a tv in here that can't really be
00:44:06utilized from the pool because of the way that the doors are doesn't fit what this is meant to
00:44:10be used for like this just is the wrong application i i think this is a massive massive error yeah i mean
00:44:17the girls would have been better off just painting the contour of what it was already there put a couple
00:44:22yoga mats if they had no money yeah that would have been a yoga mats and a couple of towels on
00:44:26hooks that's all they needed it would have been better marty really wanted to walk under one of
00:44:31the harbors when the judges got there they all decided this was their favorite part of the garden
00:44:39this is beautiful this is tranquil it's gorgeous and you can imagine all the kids running around
00:44:45around here i was just going to say that beautiful is this so you can picture the kids running around here
00:44:50race you to the next house mixed feedback there girls but plenty of positives today from all of the
00:44:58the judges that is it thank you okay three britain tas deep breath
00:45:15this week was what a seafood sandwich from the survey
00:45:26what because you'll have a crack at it but you do not know how it's going to end
00:45:31landscaping will probably win you the block this year how you doing good thanks yourself nice to meet
00:45:35you we secured troy love it love at landscaping
00:45:42the plan is to have beautiful timber arbors from trees that have fallen down in the area
00:45:48now we've got the timber it's about cutting it up
00:45:55my god it just felt like out of a movie yeah it's a bit romantic actually me and scotty cam then wasn't it
00:46:00so we started landscaping three weeks ago all the levels have been done all the concrete that we
00:46:07needed to be poured is poured it's going really well we're in a really really good spot this week of
00:46:12the block yeah landscape wins the block up hundred percent so how we're trying to set ourselves apart
00:46:17is being very on brief with dale's first it's all about natural beauty sustainability um wellness
00:46:23a beacon lighting console that's how it's going we also need to look at where you want garden
00:46:31lighting so we make sure they've got power points in it ready for it basically lights everywhere a lot
00:46:37of drawings all over it all comes together well probably over here is that i found a fruit orchard
00:46:43in the backyard of this girl's house who's happy to give it to us six fruit trees all up mate we'll
00:46:48get whatever we can it was about nine grand's worth of fruit trees troy sent his guys and we're
00:46:53able to pick up this beautiful nectarine tree and we've got the plum tree as well um and the second
00:46:58lemon tree over there as well to be able to save some money and you know repurpose some of these trees
00:47:02been a really really good result colby and sean worked tirelessly off site to create a chicken coop
00:47:11in the exact same shape as the house
00:47:16i put the two bird houses up which we really love
00:47:20again like the chicken coop triangle houses it's just like what's not a feature out there actually
00:47:27there's lots of features it looks amazing i'm just proud of brett because this week was also super
00:47:34stressful but we produced the best backyard
00:47:44i hope the judges just say that it just screams the elsefords from here from bar saunas ice baths
00:47:51hopefully they say i get why they did the reformer room now because they've been rinsing us for seven
00:47:56weeks for it hopefully it makes sense to them now wow we oh hey
00:48:09heaven they were immediately drawn to the lounge area and took a seat garen said thank goodness they
00:48:16put an umbrella in this is a very elegant space but i'm still the only one in the shade
00:48:22guys you've got to remember we've got some big trees here okay so they are deciduous trees
00:48:28so when it's summer time these trees are going to give you cover love that thank god you're here dave
00:48:34darren thinks the pgh stone on the fireplace is stunning and magical it is really beautiful i love
00:48:42the stark white i love the link to inside and i just i think this area as a lounge area on top of
00:48:51that area as your dining area it's just magic marty said seeing it all finished he can imagine the
00:48:58wedding shoot here right now they actually started on this outside area planning and prepping
00:49:07months ago and you can see the level of finish here compared to what we've seen this is shoot
00:49:12ready right now yes well this is troy love it love it landscapes okay so talking about the design that
00:49:18he's gone for he wants to basically have like a contemporary garden here with links to like the
00:49:23wellness and that's why we've got the sauna the spa the cold plunge but the connection is he says
00:49:30arbors okay so this feeds you out now they may look a little bit bare at the moment but you can see
00:49:35that they've got star jasmine that's going to go up the sides of these so yes if it's a wedding but
00:49:40it's more to take the focal point down this to the pool it sections it off this is something that i
00:49:45absolutely love it's more like a classic modern to me it's like a journey garden yeah
00:49:51shona thinks the planting is all stunning she also really liked the bird houses attached to the arbors
00:49:59speaking of birds a chicken coop as well and a greenhouse
00:50:03what a great spot it's fantastic it really is it feels very expensive yeah they've sold perfect
00:50:10use here they've given every single thing a purpose and a deliberate use
00:50:16and they found a creek that's the first on the block
00:50:21so generally on all of these properties have a rainwater garden all right so you'll notice that
00:50:25this one's so much bigger do you see this as too big of a bed because whilst i love the architecture
00:50:34behind it i also think well a buyer will come here and go what is the purpose of that versus the purpose
00:50:41of having more grass for the kids to kick a footy or i love the look of it but just the practicality side
00:50:48i'm on the fence on this one to be honest because you know this will photograph up so good and i get
00:50:53where where it is it's sustainable it's got everything it screams dale's foot as well at the
00:50:57same time it could be the only thing that turns a buyer off shana told him to shut up yes shana she
00:51:05said this is magnificent this is like a childhood dream like i know you've got little kids i've got
00:51:13grandkids and i can see them just spending all their time out here and not coming inside
00:51:18i think that this is the stuff of childhood dreams it's the things that i remember from when
00:51:25i was a little kid but selling a house families always say oh this isn't enough lawn for my kid
00:51:33to run around well i've never seen someone jump online and go i need to find a house with a big
00:51:37dry creek with a creek yeah i mean it's a great it's a great feature but it's not this is huge they're
00:51:42building something that you didn't know you wanted i i'm literally going to stick to my guns with this one
00:51:48and then headed towards the cabana and took in the pool and they were immediately drawn inside
00:51:54wow how's this craftsmanship look at the way that they've cut
00:51:59and installed this decking just the simplicity of using this over and over and over again
00:52:04it's one big space it looks super minimalistic and refined it's
00:52:09and also i love the consideration of doing one light plungy pool and one dark plungy for the spa
00:52:19and that freedom furniture is beyond stunning
00:52:22now i have the contour 3d cabana and i want to see how they've used it because controversially dave
00:52:30in there we've got a pilates studio so this is clearly a lifestyle centric house
00:52:36i want to know how they picked up that lifestyle in here
00:52:40finally to the cabana they thought the couch was in the right spot
00:52:43and no internal render so it honors the detail of the contour 3d
00:52:51this is not a lounge room though is it this is a cabana yeah yeah you've still got one lounge room
00:52:56why on earth you have to stick to your guns and not put the pilates studio in the shed
00:53:06or in here this is such a good spot for a play shoot
00:53:09here we go yeah here we go yeah for real
00:53:13marty said they could lose this competition because of that pilates studio
00:53:18they all debated if you are just too focused or too stubborn
00:53:23both maybe
00:53:26fortunately this is backyard and cabana week and the backyard is amazing and so is this cabana this
00:53:34cabana is fantastic this sells the dream of the wellness and they've ticked every box i want to
00:53:40do a call out to troy love it for his design and also brit and taz for getting someone in early
00:53:46because you can feel it you can see it and they've allocated money right from the start and it is
00:53:52the dream they have created this dream backyard some brilliant feedback there brit does that's it
00:54:04okay house four sunny and a ledge
00:54:18this week was fun we're not at the peak yet but this was us climbing to the peak
00:54:25hey paul we worked really closely with our landscape design uh paul pritchard and also dylan from jade
00:54:32built i've had experience in the past working with dave franklin yes dave does the judging so maybe
00:54:37he'll be a little biased we've built our house with like a family like us in mind kids want some
00:54:50grass to play on they love having a bit of grass a bit of lawn to kick with football open space is
00:54:56great you don't want to feel like crowded you've got this space to use it
00:54:58we have to think if we're using tiles anywhere in the backyard the front yard the side yard
00:55:06the up yard the down yard and every yard in between and your neighbor's yard
00:55:11let's do pool there's these ones yeah that one that one there yeah that looks quite different
00:55:16that looks like privacy and sort of looking isn't it the bocce court they've marked all that out dug it
00:55:23out sick yeah yeah i got to bunnings and i found the fire pit aisle and i needed to make sure that i
00:55:35picked the right one
00:55:48i mean it's pretty good it looks like he's got the one oh nick i think this is sold
00:55:56it's the biggest wood on the block my arbor
00:56:04looking at the arbor here is this wombat park inspiration from our long lunch absolutely
00:56:14our team has been a1 from the start haven't you getting sad now no but they have met they have i was a
00:56:20bit teary looking at it this morning it withdrew emotion out of me
00:56:33pulls the focal point of the whole yard with the arbor behind it and everything is right there
00:56:39when you stand on the alfresco and you look out yeah it's sick yeah
00:56:43nice oh wow how good this looks i'm coming through oh this is beautiful
00:57:02it's so simple but yet looking out is a textbook back garden it is it's textbook yeah
00:57:10this is a landscaper that we have had on the show before so his name's dylan barker from jade landscapes
00:57:16i got to speak to him this morning and the landscape is all about family and a home
00:57:21mate i would say good proper aussie backyard that's exactly what this looks like yeah
00:57:27shana said to marty you wanted lawn you've got lawn i mean that's the thing straight off the deck
00:57:33you've got heaps of lawn yeah this is the only design that we've seen where the outdoor dining so far
00:57:38away from the rest of it it's quite different and unique and it actually works
00:57:44china just love the color of the little hampton brick company pavers
00:57:48they feel very handmade probably because they are shana yes shana they are look at this and how
00:57:55the arbor relates to this furniture we were saying that's the wedding house but this is like you
00:58:02entertain for christmas day with three or four families combined it's like 24 people yeah
00:58:10it's simple it's solid i was even looking at the pool fencing going i wish they had up to the spec but
00:58:16then i've noticed a lot of these trees and plants they're actually all going to keep growing and they're
00:58:21going to actually make the fence disappear so if it was glass it would have been an issue is that right
00:58:26correct mate again this is a garden that's going to be ever changing as well so it is well thought
00:58:31out with the plant palette here so this is another garden that's going to look fantastic come auction
00:58:35time yeah shana notice the wisteria is planted next to the arbor and imagine what it will be like
00:58:42when they grow over the top just beautiful i'm looking at the timber and thinking jeez do you want
00:58:47to cover it but again wisteria will look fantastic i tell you what everything i look at looks like
00:58:56an elevation of the perfect aussie garden you're right you're right it really is
00:59:03compliments kept on coming sunny and leash yeah i do love that raised garden bed that's just so
00:59:09practical and we've got a fig tree got maybe a lemon or a lime or this is great look at this like little
00:59:15rolling knolls down it's going down there marty then headed inside your sauna and he thanks you
00:59:23very much for switching it on look how big it is this is a cool sauna it's on it's on i love it
00:59:33this is a great little spot too is it it's not like they don't have a lot of dining spaces i just think
00:59:38it's don't need that unless it's to connect something here what have they done okay that's
00:59:44interesting check it look ah there we go a little day bed little day bed and then found a microwave
00:59:54a toilet kitchenette and then kind of realized what type of room he was actually in it's a poolside
01:00:01cabana obviously but the fact that you could crash here crash here yeah marty said it's like a little
01:00:07hotel suite because you've got heating and cooling this is the highest spec cabana we've seen today like
01:00:14every single part of the wall is stunning dave said this is the best pool cabana he'd ever seen
01:00:23he called it a great doghouse and it's extremely well executed sunny we know what that is that's why
01:00:28i built it you're always in trouble i'm always in the doghouse it's a well-lit doghouse it's very very
01:00:36beautiful the design the materials even the decision to paint the ceiling black and that they've honoured
01:00:43the contour 3d form tell you what what i was not expecting to see a cabana to this standard he said
01:00:50this space is now part of the agent's campaign they then headed out to find not only a fire pit but a
01:00:57whole petonk pitch or bocce depending on where you come from this looks like it's the professional
01:01:02size wow marty's not bad they all had a go and they found themselves very happily relaxing here
01:01:11in the sunshine what is amazing is that they've placed this bench here for this purpose and we did
01:01:17exactly what you naturally do when you're playing this game socially with friends wow what a what a
01:01:24backyard that's it sunny well done okay house five robbie and matt yeah this week was beautiful
01:01:48and muddy pool day pool day so i met cam from plungy we're actually launching a new plungy called the
01:02:00quad which is a 2.2 meter square plunging well-being is such a hot trend that we've designed this to be
01:02:09a cold plunge pool once you're giving us two pools i won it for the entertainment plungy max and a uh a
01:02:15cold ball plungy quad the backyard is an entertainer and family dream play pickleball jump in the pool
01:02:24sit in front of the fireplace so many options paul grant and his team they're perfectionists we love
01:02:30paul and to be honest there is no way we could do it without him he is phenomenal we are going to be
01:02:37putting a big tree here so i'd like to put maybe like two chairs together and something there what
01:02:44about these manly chairs these two little ones amazing all this freedom furniture is going to be
01:02:52exactly what we need what do you think of this oh wow it's um it's around about 25 years old i didn't
01:03:02know what a bottle tree was till i got to the bottle tree place bottle tree bottle tree bottle tree
01:03:05bottle tree i love this girl she's thick and i think she needs to come home with me she's massive
01:03:13it is beautiful mate great pick
01:03:17finally this big pickleball court is now being installed just the size of it alone is huge because
01:03:23you could chuck a marquee on that you could see 100 people on that easily easily
01:03:27i went to stony creek gallery the gallery is mind-blowing it's amazing took one of michael parker's
01:03:38personal sculptures wow it's so much more beautiful than what i even thought it would be this is one of
01:03:44his last sculptures that he has ever done and so we are very grateful to have this in our yard it's
01:03:51incredible paul's vision has come to life
01:04:04and he even said this is the best work he's ever done
01:04:13we've listened we've learned and we've grown and this week showcases everything that we've learned
01:04:19it we're here to win this competition oh my goodness wow look at all the curves shana this is you
01:04:36know what this is very dr seuss oh don't you think very magical it is magical
01:04:42look at the fire in the trends wow look at that it's got a couple of bloody pieces of meat on it
01:04:55oh my god a couple of pieces they're flintstone size he was literally salivated that's ready to eat
01:05:02yeah we'll cut that after this is fantastic isn't it it's just so good it anchors the outdoor entertaining
01:05:08this bench here acts as a bit of a seat i love the finish yeah that's beautiful this is a designer
01:05:15that i do know another landscaper i know all right his name is paul grand and he did say that this is
01:05:20one of the biggest outdoor fireplaces in the region in the region in the region but i've never seen
01:05:26anything this big before so it's incredible marty was briefly concerned about the placement of the fireplace
01:05:33from the deck and from a family perspective not being able to see the kids in the pool that is
01:05:41a concern and i think people will recognize that when they come here well actually a swan security
01:05:45camera up here point directly at the pool so you can watch that from your phone or from tv inside in
01:05:52the living room and you can keep an eye on the kids while they're in the pool that's pretty cool yeah
01:05:58pretty handy dave franklin talked a lot today about the layering of the basalt and pebbles
01:06:04the very considered placement of everything in the garden this landscape here is sustainable you can
01:06:11turn the irrigation off on this one and this one will grow no problems whatsoever dave looked to the
01:06:16side of your yard and said we've had some trees on the block but this is just a hero isn't it yeah it
01:06:22really is that's one of the most beautiful trees i've seen in my life yeah so it is about 25 years old
01:06:27it's this tree but how good is just having a simple tree than having a structure i think this looks
01:06:32fantastic darren then had to quote the castle oh the serenity i thought you were going to say i dug a hole
01:06:45darren really liked the inclusion of the food kids so you've got that lovely sustainable
01:06:50grow your own food thing at home you've got a trellis to grow things up in the vine
01:06:54technically it's wonderful but it's so pretty and we haven't even mentioned the swimming pool
01:06:59i'm surprised you haven't mentioned the because i can't wait hey you got me a bocce mate but you
01:07:04ain't getting me a pickle get on that court and then the competition between the judges was on again
01:07:11is this what you and your real estate mates do every week hey
01:07:19there's no mercy here
01:07:22oh i nearly went over then scores marty two dave zero
01:07:28you know what the boys the boys won the fireplace they won the pickleball court
01:07:35they won the money from the wine cellar to get the bottle tree everything they won has added value
01:07:42to here you've made it all work so well together it's very cohesive this here's a pretty incredible
01:07:50inclusion these are the only contestants that have actually added this in hey that actually goes quite
01:07:55quick that's easy look at that easy from shade spot here i'll be honest i haven't seen one of these
01:08:00before so it's actually giving shade over there yeah that's it so it just depends where you're wanting
01:08:06to sit well when it's 12 you know two o'clock and that sun is beating down on a 40 degree day
01:08:12that's actually giving them the protection that's needed inside the contour 3d cabana they found another
01:08:18sauna and another great inclusion but they didn't think it was built in as well as house ones was
01:08:25it just feels like it's plonk there to me i would rather see something a little bit more in here
01:08:33but yeah it's great but it's not as luxurious as some of the other cabanas we've seen definitely not
01:08:40they then headed back to the fire to deliberate and found maddie from the dalesford meat company
01:08:46slicing up the ribeye for them hello
01:08:49looking for a couple extra points there yeah as they ate their steak they thought about what
01:08:58they'd seen today and they have nothing but high praise for all of you i'm going to say i've been
01:09:05on the block for a long time but this is some of the best landscapes i've ever seen that is high
01:09:10praise indeed considering he's done a lot of them himself time for the scores

01:09:41as well it's going to be hard to beat
01:09:47pan and can
01:09:47maybe just a little bit undercooked with some of the finishes that's why you can see that there's no
01:09:53water in the pool
01:09:59britain tats this is something that i absolutely love it's more like a classic modern to me
01:10:10setting a leash landscape is all about family and a home this is what they've ticked off here

01:10:42It's that natural environment materials palette and it just feels really right for
01:10:52Dalesford.
01:10:54I really like the stone, I love how organic and natural edge it is.
01:11:06This area as a lounge area on top of that area as your dining area, it's just magic.
01:11:25Everything I look at looks like an elevation of the perfect Aussie garden.
01:11:35Technically it's wonderful, but it's so pretty.
01:11:42I've never seen this.
01:11:51This here just screams Dalesford because you can see it in the foreground.
01:11:58I don't really like what I'm looking at.
01:12:05I don't really like what I'm looking at.
01:12:12Britain tears.
01:12:13Love the look of it, but just the practicality side, it could be the only thing that turns
01:12:19a buyer off.
