Backyard Blitz

Backyard Blitz is an Australian "lifestyle" television program that airs on the Nine Network. It is hosted by Jamie Durie and is produced by Don Burke.

The show features a very similar premise to the show Ground Force, in which a team of gardeners employed by the show descend on a supposedly worthy individual's place and improve the garden for the cameras within a specified time limit. This similarity in fact led to legal action being taken by the rival Seven Network, who at the time was set to debut an Australian version of Ground Force.

The show, like many of its other lifestyle bretheren, is mainly watched by older viewers, and is widely derided by younger viewers and television critics. However it is a strong ratings performer.

The four regular presenters on the show are landscaper Jamie Durie, builder / carpenter Scott Cam, Landscaper Nigel Ruck and horticulturist Jo Rigby.
