Our Client Testimonials
Adding a second story addition to our Santa Clara home felt risky until we signed with Lecut. They locked in our contract price before breaking ground, eliminating cost overruns. Their crew worked efficiently, completing structural framing ahead of schedule while keeping the job site spotless.
Our rotting porch in Palo Alto was unsafe, but Lecut completed a new composite deck building job in four days flat.
We had a great experience working with Lecut and Yari on our bathroom remodel. Yari was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project, and Lecut did a great job with the installation and finishing work.
They were professional, reliable, and always willing to come back and take care of small details when needed. We're very happy with how everything turned out and really appreciate their hard work and attention to detail.
I had a consultation with Yari to discuss a potential home remodel. He spent a great deal of time understanding my goals, brainstorming different layout options, and explaining the pros and cons of each approach. I appreciated that he was thoughtful, patient, and transparent throughout the discussion. He followed up with a detailed summary of our meeting and a realistic preliminary estimate, which helped me make an informed decision. Although I ultimately decided not to move forward with a major remodel, I had a very positive experience working with him and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional contractor.
LeCut will ensure you love your renewed home.
After beating out two other remodel bids, because of the team, vision, and value, Yari, Luis, and team transformed our outdated bathroom into a clean, usable, and comfortable space. Working with Yari was a great experience, since he personally ensured we were 100% satisfied with the results of the project. Communicating with the team was smooth and the team was clean and respectful with with the rest of our house. Prior to completing the project, Yari did a thorough inspection with us to identify issues with tile alignment and grout finish. Yari and Luis brought the team back to rework the fit and finish items quickly, leaving us completely happy with the space.
We needed a kitchen update and a complete bathroom renovation in a smaller home. They maximized the space without making it feel crowded. Cabinets, counters, and tile all look custom. Communication was clear from start to finish and there were no last-minute extras. The rooms feel new and well built.
We remodeled the kitchen and two bathrooms as part of a larger first-floor refresh. The kitchen now works for a family and the bathrooms feel like they belong in a nicer house. Attention to trim, grout, and hardware stood out. They stayed on schedule and the final walkthrough was thorough. Extremely pleased with the results.
Our master bathroom and kitchen were last remodeled in the 90s, so we finally hired LeCut. The walk-in shower, dual vanity, and new kitchen layout completely changed how we use the house. Our project manager was on site almost every day and handled the permits without us lifting a finger. Workmanship is excellent and they finished a week early. Couldn’t be happier with LeCut!!!
We couldn't be happier with our experience working with LeCut Construction. Yari, Luis and the whole team were great to work with throughout the process. They responded quickly to every question, concern or comment we had every step of the way. They completely remodeled both our bathrooms and we love how they both turned out.
Lecut Construction completed a full remodel of our kitchen and master bathroom plus beautification of our garage. Yari Bardugo presided over the operation with skill, attentiveness, and good humor. All structural work was totally robust – we could see the quality being built in. Work on the finish elements was where Yari really shined. He checked for our desired positioning of lights and switches and the height of grab bars. When we were uncertain, he offered helpful suggestions. Yari also orchestrated various resources within Lecut (electricians and tilers) and outside (asbestos removal and HVAC). If anything wasn’t perfect the first time, Yari helped us improve it. He came to visit nearly every day, and we enjoyed our conversations very much.
The warm summer, humid conditions brought by the surrounding flora, and cool seasonal change that influence the soil and materials are the factors that determine outdoor spaces in Saratoga, home to iconic landmarks like Hakone Gardens and Montalvo Arts Center. The areas surrounding downtown Saratoga, slopes, and houses located along open areas tend to have an uneven distribution of sun rays, moisture collectiveness on the shady part, and soil conditions which vary greatly within the same yard.
The Saratoga outdoor spaces have planning which extends past the immediate climate conditions. Slow processes like the settling effect of the soil, alternating drainage lines, and the gradual effects of the vegetation within the landscape tend to have a greater effect on landscape performance than seasonal weather. These considerations are being planned in our team in designing hardscape features to ensure that they will be stable over time and in planning the plantings to be able to grow in the future.
Sustainable Landscaping Practices for Eco-Friendly Yards
Sustainability is a significant issue in contemporary landscape design, particularly where water conservation and environmental friendliness are critical in such places as Saratoga.
Water-Conscious Selecting of Plants
Plants are selected following low water needs and suitability to the local soil and light conditions. Species that form well-developed root systems and do not look shabby without constant irrigation are a priority of our team and help to save on the use of water and promote the well-being of plants in the long-term.
Efficient Irrigation Design
The irrigation systems will irrigate areas during the periods when the water is required thereby reducing the amount of water running off the surface and the amount of water evaporating. Zoning, time of the day, and location are taken into account in such a way that the plants do not get too much or too little water.
Soil Health Improvement
The process of soil preparation aims at boosting the soil structure, nutrient ratio, and water retention. Through the pre-planting preparation of the soil to increase its health, we achieve the conditions favoring deeper root development, better drainage and enhanced resiliency during dry or hot seasons.
All the elements are in harmony to help foster an environment that flourishes instead of struggling. Moving with the environmental realities of San Jose in mind initially, we reduce corrections in the future and increase the long-term performance.

Landscape Design Ideas for Small Outdoor Areas
In situations where space is scarce, design focuses more on functionality and movement than denseness of features or ornamentation.
Vertical Planting Solutions: Visual interest is achieved through use of height without taking up ground space.
Multi-Functional Features: The hardscape pieces have many functions and are usually used in multiple ways.
Simplified Plant Palettes: The less number of plant types produces a more open and clean impression.
Clear Circulation Paths: The small spaces are functional and comfortable due to defined movement.
The decision of strategic design also makes sure that the little outdoor spaces provide movement and usability rather than being perceived as limiting and over-designed.
How Hardscape Borders Define Outdoor Spaces
Planting areas and walkways, patios, and lawn areas have borders that prevent the movement of soil and minimizes the problems of maintenance. They also assist in the regulation of moisture since they direct water movement in areas that are prone. When carefully planned, the hardscape boundaries can complement the appearance of the landscape without encompassing the landscape.
We apply borders to create the flow of layouts and avoid any conflicts with the features that are already present. Such harmony enhances the functionality and physical looks of the whole outdoor facility.
Our Commitment to Durable Landscape and Hardscape Solutions
The key element of any project our team is engaged in is durability. Our outdoor spaces are built to sustain the climatic conditions, daily use, and the gradual change of the environment in Saratoga without the need to be repaired on a regular basis. This begins by picking the material that is appropriate to changing temperatures and being in touch with moisture.
Integration is also very important. Landscaping and hardscaping will be done as the same system to control heat, water flow and pedestrian traffic. This integrated solution minimizes stress points, enhances life expectancy, and makes the outdoor areas aesthetically and functionally intact in the years to come.
Thoughtfully Planned Outdoors
We provide our clients with outdoor spaces that are the result of long-term thinking and well-thought implementation.
• Designs which evolve with the maturing landscape.
• Solutions that are balanced between structure and natural surroundings.
• Planning was concentrated on long-term trends rather than the short-term trends.
