Dave and his crew were a pleasure to work with. They kept me advised on a daily basis about the work to be done. Dave goes above and beyond to make things right. His team has ingenious ways to cover small gaps and small stone cuts that make the paving look great. I was pleased with their work and hired them again to build a courtyard near the pool!

DMC TO THE RESCUE! When our pool company lost their paver guy, we were beginning to become frustrated with the pool installation process. David and his crew stepped in and in a few short days, transformed our “mess” into a BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR OASIS! They showed up early, were polite, professional in their work, attentive to my requests, did a great job and cleaned up when the job was completed. Thanks, David!

I recently had the pleasure of working with DMC Outdoor Living for my pool pavers and retaining wall installation. From start to finish they were professional, skilled, communicated often, and extremely detail oriented. Their commitment to customer satisfaction was evident throughout the entire project and the finished result far exceeded my expectations. I am honestly beyond thrilled with every single thing they have done on my job. I highly recommend Dave and his team at DMC for any paver, retaining wall, or stone fireplace needs that you may have. I will definitely be using them again for 2 more outdoor additions this fall and next spring.

Hired David Brakebill to do a new construction landscaping project based on the recommendation of my builder. He quoted me a price which we agreed on and asked for a deposit check to buy materials. I paid him 10K. He initially came onsite to begin the work. Unfortunately, he only completed about 5% of the total project and never came back to finish over a number of months. He took my money and never came to finish the job. I am currently suing him in small claims court. In the process of doing that, I have learned this is a common M.O for him. He will agree to do jobs and ask for deposits to buy materials, do a little work but never come back to complete...then when he gets sued, he loses, files bankruptcy and start all over again with a new company name. Check the BBB for him...look at the negative reviews on here....its clear this is how this man operates.

your post is so one sided you should list all the facts 1.we gave you a bid on your project based on the design you provided original bid was for 31383.00 you responded that was more than you could do you asked what we could do for 20k.we revised the plan with you and made some changes the biggest one replacing the lava rock with river rock you were told up front the only [Member Information Removed] to make the budget work is if we got the stone straight from the wholesale supplier New port sand and gravel there price was 65.00 dollars a ton everybody else wanted 165 a ton you needed 58 tons. 2. you gave us a deposit of 10k we came out there and built a fire pit installed a paver walk [Member Information Removed] and paver patio total for those items where 6k.we also raked your yard free of sticks and rocks seed and strawed fixed drainage that was not done correctly installed 2 stone steps and fixed stone and put stone caps on your wall that were done by others incorrectly you asked us to fix. Your builder was supposed to pay us for these items totaling more than 5k but he only paid us 1900.00 . 3. 1 month went bye you called me because you were upset that nothing else has been done, I drove an 1hr and 45 min to meet you. I called new port sand and gravel to ask them when they could deliver with you standing beside me with them on speaker and you heard them say no clue we were on the list.so a week later you send me an email about changing some of the stone to blue chip marble and doing some of the landscaping while we wait on the stone we set a date but the week we set it snowed 8inches you live on top of a [Member Information Removed] no [Member Information Removed] we were coming but before we could do anything you fired us and started making accusations I have no doubt it cost you more to have someone else finish the job because we tried to help you do it for the lowest price we could but you knew that going in to it. 4.you almost bankrupted your builder and you owe the stonemason 40k but there are 2 sides 2 every story so I wont say this is your Mo

David was very detailed in his assessment of what needed to be done to solve our issues with proper drainage. We had 3 other estimates with only one of those competitive with David’s price. We decided to go with David because his solution was the least intrusive to the property as a whole while solving the drainage issues. Overall, the professionalism of David and his team along with the excellent results of their work would give me good reason to recommend DMC Outdoor Living to anyone wanting a solid job completed by a competent work group.

I’m so happy with the job that David Brakebill and his team did at our home. We had masonry work that need to be done in a very precise and detailed way. They did a great job finishing the project. It looks fantastic and I’m already looking to them to do another project for us, I would encourage anybody who needs trustworthy, communicative and reliable work done David Brakebill, and his team other ones for you. James
David is Excellent! His team did a phenomenal job on our pavers and patio. David took complete ownership of the job, finished on time, with excellent quality product. He is very professional and took personal care from start to end. Highly recommended.

He never completed, he never started. He just delivered a fiberglass pool shell. He had taken a $71,000 of money and never contacted me other than filing bankruptcy. DO NOT USE THIS CONTRACTOR!

Worked with us to integrate our thoughts with other ideas to spruce up the front yard. (Curb appeal) Everything went very well, all ideas were presented to be agreed upon before plants were installed into the ground. Some landscapers don't understand this. DMC does! When finished, it looked even better than the vision we had pictured in our mind. Thank you DMC and staff!

Avoid this contractor at all costs! I Hired David Brakebill with DMC Outdoor Living to do a water feature in my backyard and signed a contract with a completion date of June 26th 2023 for $18K. As of today, Aug 30th, it is still not completed, even though he has cashed 3 checks totaling $18K. I have attempted to call him 30 times today with no response. He promised to send people over on numerous occasions, and then, like today, they never show and he never calls to reschedule or to explain. The only possible reason is he is a scam artist who takes your money but never finishes the project. Delay, delay, delay. I have been very generous, and have done most of the work on the existing water feature myself. So why did I pay him $18K? Don’t be a sucker. He is dishonest and does not keep his word.

Excellent work. With 25 years of experience David has provided an excellent service as we move step by step into our new pool. He sat our pool couple days ago and his crews were excellent and took great care in getting the pool around the house and no where near our neighbors property. Kind, courteous, and always addresses any questions or concerns. A+

David and his crew installed pavers and plants in our yard along with pavers around our pool last year. We paid over 43,000.00. He represented himself as such a trustworthy business man. But, he not. Since then our plants have all turned brown grass is now dirt. The driveway is collapsing. We have called texted numerous times. Was told they were under warranty back in December and would replace them. My husband texted him then he was going to wait until Spring now he won't even answer our calls. I am so disappointed. When he came last year I was impressed but after he got our money he didn't try to make things right. We are now in the process of having another company fix his mistakes.

David and his crew were hired through a pool company to complete the pavers around our new pool. As his work began, we were introduced to his meticulous work ethic and desire to make things perfect... we ended up hiring him and his crew to complete the landscaping in our entire backyard to compliment the beautiful work he had already completed around the pool. My new backyard paradise is 100% my vision completed to perfection by David and his crew at DMC Outdoor Living!! Their touches of artistic interpretation of my ideas have made it so desirable to be in and enjoy. I can’t express my gratitude in words any better, but I doubt there’s a better crew out there for this type of work. If you need landscaping, pavers, fireplace, or anything of the like, don’t hesitate to call my landscaper FOR LIFE: DMC Outdoor Living...

This man was upfront from day one as to what he could do,the time frame it would take and the cost . As soon as the block was delivered him and his guys came out ,talked everything over with us as to what they were going to do and what we wanted .These guys worked in the cold , between rain breaks , in the mud and were very professional. My husband and I both work and had no problem leaving these guys working when we were not home. I would definitely hire them again in the future .
