From the moment I contacted Leon Design and Build, Shimon (the owner) was responsive and attentive. I had an idea for the backyard re-model, which involved putting in a new retaining wall, levelling/grading a section of the backyard and installing pavers, and laying down turf with drip lines for a few trees. Shimon worked with me on refining the design, and using his years of construction knowledge to build it in a way that was affordable, attractive, and would last. Before we signed a contract, he also invited me to see some of the construction sites and talk to the owners, and after hearing several glowing reviews, and seeing that he clearly had the expertise to execute my re-model, I hired him.Shimon made it clear that we were going to be a team, and he always patiently addressed my questions as the project progressed, made recommendations, and went the extra mile to make the sure project was the best it could be. Even after construction began, if he saw an opportunity to improve the design, either aesthetically or structurally, he took it.The workers did a good job containing the work to the re-model area, cleaned up after themselves, and the work itself was of a very high quality, which hopefully you can see from the photographs.I highly recommend hiring Leon Design and Build for your next project, youll be very happy you did!

Were in Poway and hired Leon Design & Build to redo our backyard, and it turned out great. They handled everything - new pavers, pool replaster with updated coping, a custom patio cover, outdoor kitchen, and a retaining wall - and it all came together really nicely with a high-end, luxurious feel.They werent the cheapest option, but we felt completely confident moving forward because of the owner, Shimon Leon. He was knowledgeable, straightforward, and really made us feel comfortable from the start.The crew was solid, easy to communicate with, and kept the project on track. No surprises, no stress- just quality work. Weve already had a few neighbors ask who did it. Would definitely use them again.

We hired Leon Design & Build Company to redo our entire backyard, and they did an amazing job. The project included an outdoor kitchen, pool replaster with new coping, pavers, a custom patio cover, and a retaining wall. Everything came out exactly how we wanted, and the quality of the work really shows.They were easy to work with, showed up when they said they would, and kept things moving the whole time. Overall, just a great experience and were really happy with how it all turned out. Definitely recommend them.

We ended up not hiring Leon Design & Build but the consultation with their project manager was outstanding. The conversation was very genuine, honest, and enriching. I learned from my interaction with them. My budget is not ready for what we want to do. But I will gladly get back to these guys when ready. Thank you!

I could not be happier with the work Shimon and his team did on my property. The workmanship exceeded my expectations. It was evident from day one how committed Shimon is to his customers and to quality of work. Shimon communicated with me daily, keeping me informed, notifying me of next steps and even checking in to see if I had any questions. He was very accommodating and available.The quality of work was exceptional. Careful attention was paid to detail and the final product is beautiful. His crew were respectful and kept the work site clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend Leon Design and Build for your next project. You will not be disappointed in the quality and craftsmanship of the work they do.
