10 Completed wildflower meadow, and planting
Posted 28 April
Oliver returned this spring to complete the design he did for us three years ago. He developed a wildflower meadow, with additional planting to merge with current border. 2 days work, all completed to a very high standard and a fitting end to a three year garden project.Verified reviewerJob location: KT1310 Highly recommend

Very pleased with the work carried out by Oliver (the owner of Hippo). We wanted to revamp the top of our garden with a new patio and woodland landscaping under 2 established trees. Oliver gave good ideas about the type of plants and shrubs to consider and we are very pleased with his recommendations. Good quality workmanship in laying the patio and the job was completed in a polite and timely manner. Good communication throughout. Would recommendVerified reviewerJob location: GU2210 Professional and friendly landscaping service

If you are looking for a professional and helpful landscaping design and build, Oliver is the man to hire. He guided us through the prolonged process, offering practical solutions to the design we had in our heads, and also helped us with planning (as we are on a hill and needed permission). Once the actual works started, we were kept informed of progress throughout and the end result is stunning.Verified reviewerJob location: GU2110 Reliable work done by professional team

Job location: GU22Oliver of Hippo Designs and Construction quoted for the removal of a crumbling concrete path and its replacement. The skip arrived on the day it was scheduled and the driver was very polite. Oliver and his colleague arrived when they said they would, dug out the old path and laid the new concrete path exactly as agreed. Hippo invoiced precisely in line with the quote. Overall, I'm happy with the work, the people who delivered it and the price paid.10 Replacement driveway
