    Replacing a Patio

    Posted 02 December

    The company provided us with excellent advice about choosing appropriate slabs to renew our patio. Provided us with a quote within a few days, started work promptly on an agreed date and let us know how long the job would take. The work was completed to a high standard and everything was left neat and tidy. They were happy to move and return very heavy garden pots that we were unable to manage ourselves. We would recommend this company.

    Oliver does what it says on the tin 'From Inspiration to Completion' and does it well. We are very pleased with our new ornamental garden and patio. The workmanship is first class. I have already recommended him to our neighbour.

    Excellent hard landscaping company

    Posted 02 August

    Oliver spent time with us before quoting to make sure that the proposed solution matched our requirement. His communication leading up the work was very good and Oliver and Dave turned up when they said they would and did an excellent job. We are very happy with the results of their work which we feel has added significant value to our property. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hippo for you next garden project.

    Design and recreation of garden

    Posted 11 July

    Oliver and his team did a fantastic job designing and recreating the borders of the garden. Oliver was extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it came to discussing what plants would be suitable. They cleared and widened the borders and planted them with a lovely variety of shrubs, perennials and ornamental grasses. He and his team were a pleasure to work with and the garden looks lovely.

    Construction of pond, waterfall, patio and surrounding planting.

    Posted 23 May

    Our experience with Oliver was brilliant. He took our ideas and refined them with his own suggestions in a very collaborative way to get the best possible outcome. He and his team worked hard and quickly without sacrificing on quality to deliver a wonderful outcome. The attention to detail was excellent, right through to helping us to choose plants that would thrive in the location and soil conditions, and providing us with instructions for their care. We are delighted with the end result.
