DMC Outdoor Living provides residential and commercial solutions for landscaping and outdoor living.
"Where do I begin? DMC Outdoor Living company has been an absolute pleas to work with. This company has truly been a blessing to our family and our pool needs! This company came in and did a spectacular job in time and with professionalism daily. Mr. David Brakebill (owner) and his supervisor, Brad have worked with us throughout the entire process, always explaining every step of the way. Before any job was performed, the explanation came first. They were so wonderful in helping out with any pool/paver needs. We were truly new to all of this, but with David help, it was the best experience we have ever had with a contractor. One can understand that contractors sometimes do not say what they are going to do, but DMC OUTDOOR LIVING COMPANY proves that to be wrong. They always came out at the time they said they would be there and always explained the details of the job that day. The place now looks like it came out of a magazine. The most beautiful backyard you’ll ever see, thanks to Mr. David Brakebill (owner) and his team. If I could give this company a 10-stars, this company deserves just that! Also, understand that David and his team came in after the pool was installed and installed all of the pavers, did all of the landscaping, the rock wall, not to mention all of the trees, mulching and over 60 flowers! This company does it all."

We are affordable professionals with over 50 years of combined experience in HVAC, Plumbing, Carpentry, Painting, Home repairs, and trash outs.
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience with E & J Handyman when they came out to fix our HVAC system. From start to finish, the service was prompt, thorough, completely honest and very affordable. Ed quickly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly without trying to upsell unnecessary repairs. We also asked about lawn care and fixing a faucet outside, which we have also scheduled — again, a very fair price and timeline!! What really stood out was their integrity—they fixed only what was needed and got my system running smoothly again. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that genuinely puts the customer first. I highly recommend E & J Handyman to anyone looking for trustworthy HVAC/handyman services! Thank You so Much!! ~~Michelle H."

"Dusty’s crew tore down our old 12x24 deck and replaced it with a new 12x24 deck with metal roofing on the bottom side where we could use it as a covered sitting area off of the pool deck. They answered any questions we had before and during the process of building the deck. The project was completed in 2 weeks. We highly recommend them for any of your home improvement projects. "

Installing an outdoor water fountain costs $2,700 on average, not including the cost of the unit. Prices range from $150 to $10,650, depending on your location, the type of fountain, size, and accessibility to the site. Self-contained fountains and water features recirculate the water within the unit. Depending on size and features like multi-tiered cascading bowls, they typically cost from $50 to $5,000. More elaborate fountains with waterfalls and ponds can cost from $450 to $10,000 or more.
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
You can choose several types of fountains to add to your backyard, ranging in size, number of basins, and special water features.
Check out the price ranges of common fountain types:
Birdbath fountains: $40 to $1,100
Cascading fountains: $40 to $2,000
Tiered fountains: $100 to $6,000
Kugel fountains: $150 to $5,000
Glass wall fountains: $100 to $3,000
Consider the pros and cons of installing a water fountain in your backyard:
Pros
Fountains can add beauty to your backyard.
Creates a relaxing space to enjoy in your yard.
Water features can add more value to your home.
Cons
Regular maintenance is necessary.
Upfront and maintenance costs can escalate quickly.
Space may not permit you to install the fountain you want.
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
