Company History:
Backyard Getaway was officially opened in October 2004 by current owners, Dave & Lisa Burns. We started with our retail store located in Sarasota near the Ringling School of Arts after 3 years & the unexpected sale of the building we were leasing we moved our retail locating to Bradenton. All the while maintaining & growing our service business. We decided this past January that it was time to change directions for our company & focus on our pond installation & maintenance services as well as our events like our charity pond tour, classes, yearly makeover contest. We closed the retail store allowing us more time to focus on our customers & opened an online store & now offer delivery to our local customers.
