Great Planting Schemes

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.Verified reviewerJob location: GU2110 Hard Landscaping

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.Verified reviewerJob location: GU2110 Hard Landscaping

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.Verified reviewerJob location: GU2210 Hard Landscaping

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!Verified reviewerJob location: GU1210 Landscaper
