With a 70 foot palm tree and a hot pink garage door, they ensured this week would be a memorable one for the judges.
The week came with many challenges, with the hole dug for the tree's installation being way too small – resulting in another teams' house being shut down – and a pebble disaster "basically screwing" their yard.
But overall, the boys said they couldn't have done any better.
R and H Landscapers (aka, just Ricky and Haydn) are back for one last shot at a win, so let's see what they created!
Scroll through to see what judges Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer, Marty Fox and guest judge and landscaper Dave Franklin thought of House 3's front yard and façade.
The first thing the judges noticed wasn't hard to guess.
Yep, the 70 foot palm tree taking centre stage – which if you recall was incredibly hard to install.
"What a statement piece!" Marty gushed.
"They have certainly saved their money for this, as this is not easy by any means to put in," Dave Franklin added.
"I didn't think they'd go that big," Shaynna laughed.
The judges thought it was "beyond phenomenal", and Darren pointed out that House 5 must be "spewing" as they thought they had the biggest palm tree on The Block – until now.

Shaynna said the boys were not about subtlety, pointing out "the brightest, pinkest garage door we have ever seen".
Not to mention the Bar Crusher taking pride of place in front of the garage – now that's a selling point!
Darren gushed: "We've said over and over again that this house is not chic, but it's fun. But this is both. It's really inviting, very sophisticated – it's very elegant!"
Ricky laughed back at HQ, saying it's the first time he's ever heard the home being described as "elegant".
The judges also loved the James Hardie oblique cladding on the home, saying it made the house feel very different to the others.
The judges then walked through the pink garage door, and loved what they saw.
"Does this scream a bloke's garage or what?" Shaynna said.
Here's a little bonus addition you might not have seen on TV.
Making it their own, Ricky and Haydn added this to the garage door – the Fun Factory is officially open!
There's space for the car, gardening equipment, fishing rods... the lot!
Back outside, and the judges were still stunned that the boys managed to pull this whole look off without a landscaper.
When they entered this area, Shaynna gushed: "Wow..."
She loved it.
"Again, it's very informal like the front yard," she said.
The judges were wowed by the massive barbecue area, smoker and fridge.
