Customer Testimonials
Here is what a few of our customers have to say about Backyard Getaway
"When we decided to build a pond, we visited every pond store from Bradenton to Venice. There was only one store that really took the time to listen to our ideas, questions, and needs. That was the Backyard Getaway. Lisa and Dave were more interested in encouraging us and guiding us than making a quick sale, and that is what sold us. We had an idea and they suggested various equipment. They explained why each piece was important. Lisa always checked for the most economical piece of equipment for our pond, and Dave was ready to assist with the installation. This is a family run business, and they make every customer feel important. They take the time to listen and offer a wide variety of suggestions. Monthly pond lessons are held for anyone interested. You can learn how to set up a small water feature in a few hours. There is also a Backyard Getaway Friends Club. There is no charge to join. Every month a different pond is featured. Members visit that pond for socialization and trade pond info. It is something we look forward to each month. Lisa and Dave Burns of the Backyard Getaway Store strive to make your pond experience fun and educational." Ron and Denise Fugere, Sarasota, Florida
"My husband Tom and I started a small Koi pond, then one day I saw an ad for the Backyard Getaway store and so I went there. Much to my surprise I met Dave and Lisa and they explained how they cleaned, serviced, maintained and built ponds. They also sell a very good quality of Koi and even help in how to care for them. I bought some Koi and decided to have my pond expanded. Dave and Lisa came to my home and they took their time explaining all possibilities and options. They expanded my pond and it was great. They also taught my husband Tom how to maintain it. Since then we are avid customers and never have we met such nice, kind and experienced people in that field. We like them so much that they even did the pond where I work, by installing new filters for better filtration of the water. If you need any help in adding, creating, or expanding on your pond this is the place to call." Minnie and Tom Rafferty, Sarasota, Florida
"We have been working with Dave and Lisa for several years now. Dave did not build our original pond, but came and worked on it when we had problems. Recently, the pond had to be rebuild, which Dave did. Working with Lisa and Dave has really been a pleasure. They are easy to talk with, easy to work with and very knowledgeable. Their recommendations are always helpful. I would happily recommend their work to everyone." Jim and Natalie Smith, Bradenton, FL
