Landscaping contractor Roger Cook assists a young couple in constructing a raised garden bed with composite landscape timbers made from recycled plastic and sawdust. Later in the loft, Roger shares various types of landscape timbers with host Kevin O'Connor, showcasing one that has been pressure-treated with liquid glass. Meanwhile, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey lends a hand to a homeowner struggling with a slow-draining bathtub, using a plumbing snake to resolve the issue.
