OK I don't really know if this is the right place to ask! and is a bit cheeky for a 1st post but after an hour+ search on google going round in circles and getting know where I figured the best place to ask was here. So Hi!
OK SO, It must have been around between 2002-2004 that ONE of the many UK freeview channels showed a sort of day-time trashy garden makeover show (I say many because by 2003 there were already a lot of channels!) It deffo wasn't BBC though. It featured a trio gang (I think! no more than 3?) gardeners, one I think was from Dorset and they basically did a makeover of a garden which usually resolved around, how do we fit DECKING into this design. (cause decking was still obviously a thing then). Anyone know what this show was called? The main Dorset guy was always really enthusiastic and optimistic, there was a long hair guy who did the actual designing and lifting. If there was a 3rd person I can't remember what he/she did. I think the 3 of them travel around on some kind of truck and at the end of the show it would always have them driving off into the sunset haha.
I've done countless searching. It was usually shown in the evening around 18:00pm and being a 'trashy' sort of repeat/re-run channel you sometimes got 2 back to back. I wasn't Garden Revivals, Ground Force, City Garden, Grand Designs, My Favourite Garden. any of them. Yet I feel it was still watched by a fair few people.
Thanks if anyone can help. and if this gets moved or deleted for not being the right topic, so bet it I guess.

The main problem is I can't even remember the name of the channel. Don't think it was one of the 'UKTV' channels (so, Style, Bright Ideas, Gardens even!) It could have been though.
Sorry I cant really help you, but I to do vaguely remember Tommy Walsh doing something
@ The Gardeners Boy . just out of curiosity and my own nostalgia.
