  • Replacement patio

    10Verified Review

    Having previously worked with Oliver to redesign back garden, this phase of work was to replace old patio, and extend in places. Oliver and Dave worked well on this, digging out the old base and replacing/extending new permeable patio. Installed drainage to deal with excess rainwater, and reused old slabs as hardcore. Work completed in time suggested, and good quality. Both arrived on site promptly, and worked through some difficult weather. Site was kept tidy Oliver also sourced and fitted new garden gates, which look very good.

    As usual Oliver and his assistant completed a thorough and professional job, applying creativity to working around a large tree. Prompt and courteous, we cannot recommend him and his team highly enough. Excellent service!

  • Driveway border installation and wildflower meadow

    10Verified Review

    Oliver and Dave are my go-to, and I will always use them and have recommended them to my friends. Highly professional, excellent eye for design and attention to detail. Re-used my driveway edging stones in a creative way to create new borders with planting to add greenery and soften the area beautifully. Took into account aspect and sunlight in recommending plants that will thrive. In the rear garden, they removed my old, tired grass, prepared the area and laid wildflower meadow turf with camomile lawn path. I can't wait to see how it will mature. Highly recommended.

  • New garden hedge and driveway

    10Verified Review

    Second time using Oliver and Dave and another excellent experience. Oliver spent time with us agreeing design based on our requirements and carried out the work in line with agreed spec. Oliver is clearly passionate about what he does and carried out the work with enthusiasm and attention to detail. We are really pleased with the quality of the job. The neighbours commented on how courteous the guys were when loading/unloading in the road etc. Thank you Hippo Designs!

    Oliver very good, listened to what we wanted and delivered great design ideas. Several discussions with us led to excellent final design, plus he quoted for part of work, as requested. Definitely recommend, and am going ahead with phase 1.
