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.Verified reviewerJob location: KT1610 Construction of pond, waterfall, patio and surrounding planting.

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.Verified reviewerJob location: GU210 Patio extended with a small wall

Posted 18 February
Hippo Designs made two brickwork / concrete exterior access ramps, and cleared bamboo from our garden. We were pleased with how Oliver approached the design of the ramps with us. Oliver was prompt and reliable, and kept us informed throughout the project of costs. We were pleased with the finished ramps, which look fantastic and have been well built. Oliver also removed bamboo from our garden, using a mechanical digger to do a thorough job of the clearance.Verified reviewerJob location: GU3
