Testimonials

Bought a house this past summer with a fantastic gorgeous pool by Backyard Getaways. We of course chose them for our pool services. Very helpful and professional. So happy with the pool and this company.

Mary from Brampton

Backyard Getaways has been a pleasure to deal with from the beginning. The crew always made a good effort to communicate with us about scheduling and about the details of our projects. We are currently enjoying the work in our yard even through the winter season. We had a few issues with our lighting system (bulbs burned out) but John was quick to send someone out so that we could enjoy our lights projected onto the winter snow. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. We will be hiring them come the spring to seal our new driveway and backyard project.
