About Us
BACKYARD RETREAT WAS FOUNDED THREE YEARS AGO WHEN NIKKI McARTHUR LEFT HARBIN'S POOLS TO PURSUE MORE LUCRATIVE ENDEAVORS. AT THAT TIME HER HUSBAND 'Mc" WAS A LIEUTENANT ON THE VALDOSTA POLICE DEPARTMENT. NIKKI WAS UNSURE OF WHETHER OR NOT TO OPEN HER OWN BUSINESSS UNTIL HER OLD CUSTOMERS FROM HARBIN'S STARTED CALLING HER AT HOME FOR ADVICE AND ASKING HER TO SERVICE THEIR POOL. NIKKI AND Mc DECIDED TO "GO FOR IT" AND OPENED BACKYARD RETREAT AND IT HAS BEEN FULL BLAST EVER SINCE. Mc RETIRED MAY 1, 2009 AFTER 34 YEARS WITH THE P.D. AND NOW SUPERVISES ALL FIELD OPERATIONS WHILE NIKKI HANDLES MANAGING THE STORE TAKING WORK ORDERS, HANDLING THE BOOKS ETC. WE ARE PROUD TO BE THE AUTHORIZED WARRANTY STATION FOR ALL OF THE PRODUCTS WE SELL SO IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SOMETHING WE SOLD YOU WE CAN AND WILL BE SURE THAT IT IS REPAIRED QUICKLY AND CORRECTLY.
