    Great Planting Schemes

    Have used Ollie a couple of times now to clear and plant up areas of my garden. He always comes up with a great choice of plants, giving all year colour and interest.

    Fantastic service from start to finish

    We cannot fault the service we received from Hippo Designs and Construction. From the planning and advice through to the work itself, our faith has been restored in good people who want to do a good job. Hard-working, reliable, communicative, adaptable, skilled. The best service we’ve received in 6 years of house and garden renovations.

    Very pleased with our new driveway

    Very happy with the work carried out by Hippo Designs & Construction Ltd. Oliver and his team arrived promptly every day and worked hard to get the job done. He is very knowledgeable and has an eye for detail, ensuring the job, a new driveway, has been completed to a high standard. Would definitely use him again and highly recommend this company.

    Garden transformation

    Oliver and his team transformed our garden, removing our old tired decking and replacing it with a beautiful new patio. They also removed a sleeper retaining wall, building a new block retaining wall and installing fencing on top of it. It was a big project with a lot of moving parts, but Oliver and his team took all of the stress out of the process. Oliver is extremely knowledgeable and meticulous, and the work was completed to a high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

    Transformed front garden with new paving + wall rebuild

    This is the second time that I've used Hippo Designs (previously for a complete back garden redesign) and both experiences have been absolutely flawless. Friendly, punctual and efficient, with all work carried out to the highest standards. Oliver has a great eye for detail, offering fantastic design advice, and excellent communication, keeping me well informed through every stage of the process. I really couldn't be happier with results and would not hesitate to recommend the firm to anyone. Thank you so much Hippo Designs!
