    Fence works & Gardening

    Posted 13 October

    Beware of this company. He provided a detailed quote, and then changed the price once the works started (to almost double). His team is available immediately so it looks like they don’t get instructed a lot. He used this tactic to get the job, which is dishonest and unprofessional. Worst of all Marek didn’t finish the job - I paid for a lock to be fitted on my gate and he didn’t fit the handle. I’ve reached out to ask about this but my calls and messages are being ignored. Please beware of this company! I chose them as they had good reviews but they caused me unnecessary stress.

    Response from Design Leaf

    This review is inaccurate. The quote was clear and itemised. Extra work was added later by the client. All work was done to a high standard, and the handle with keys was left on site. Part of the job remains unpaid. – Marek, DesignLeaf

    Design Leaf Stole my Money.

    Posted 08 October

    Design Leaf is a very bad and dodgy company. Marek Sime, the founder and director of the company, stole my money, failed to keep to the agreement, left the work unfinished, and ran away. He also stole from two other people, one of them I know; I have all the documents to prove that. I paid them a big lump sum through Checkatrade link and to their bank account, but unfortunately the money was stolen and most of the work left unfinished. It is my duty to warn Checkatrade customers and our people from Marek Sima and his Design Leaf team, be aware and careful, please. Dr K. Latif Consultant DR.

    This review is false. All funds were used for the client’s project works, including drainage and excavation of over 400 tons of clay. Full evidence has been submitted to Checkatrade. Marek DesignLeaf

    Outstanding work and lovely team

    Posted 05 August

    They were a phenomenal team. They turned our garden around in 2 days and worked expertly and efficiently. We just moved and needed to reset the garden from the extreme overgrowth it had gotten to, including the removal of two trees and one tree needing significant pruning. We were so impressed and happy with the result. We would highly recommend their team and would go to them again if we needed anything else.

    Great work ethic, exceptional attention to detail

    Posted 25 July

    We recently hired Design Leaf to help restore and refresh our garden, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. They took the time to understand what we wanted while also offering thoughtful suggestions that really elevated the space. The transformation was incredible — tidy, well-maintained beds, neatly trimmed hedges, and a garden that finally feels loved again. What really stood out was the attention to detail and the genuine pride they take in their work. Communication was alw
