Actually I think that the American version of the show and perhaps the
original one as well, do sorta pre-plan and stock. The teams (the expert
at least) decides on the plan and then the show will seed the yard with
approriate gear. But then again, I could be wrong, especially as I can
not remember where I read this. Bummer.
