I have been thinking about a hot tub for retirement and was super pleased with the service I received from Gabriel. He was knowledgeable and I never felt pushed or pressured into making a decision but we are super happy with our purchase and everyone there. Big shout out to Sonoma Backyard.

A few years ago my wife and I were driving home from Cotati and we caught a glimpse of a row of multi-colored Adirondack chairs that made us pull over for a closer look. That started a fruitful (and costly) relationship with Gabe Givan and Sonoma Backyard that continues to this day. We've been fortunate enough to be able to furnish and equip our entire backyard, all with Gabe's expert, no-pressure, informative assistance. We can't recommend Sonoma Backyard and Gabe enough.

Great team. We bought a sectional patio lounge set from them. Customer service was professional and responsive from start to finish, from pricing different options, to delivery. When we thought the set had come without the clips to secure the pieces together, they took charge and got the manufacturer to send us the clips. I would definitely buy from them again.

We recently purchased a hot tub, outdoor seating and fire pit from Sonoma Backyards. Gabe Givan was extremely helpful, informative and generous with his time in answering our questions, providing recommendations and even trouble-shooting hot tub set up issues over the phone. He went above and beyond the call of duty by making a house visit to help us determine color choices, and where to put the tub and electrical outlet. Were we thrilled to get the tub delivered just before the shut down so we are able to enjoy our yard during this difficult time? Thanks Gabe and Sonoma Backyard!

I tried to get a quote from Sonama Backyard on a pool install and Stephen Gibbs ghosted me like he's a teenage boy.

He came out to the house and we had a good conversation about a potential pool install. He expressed some concern over access to the yard, which would likely be through a neighbor's property, but assured me he'd have his guy out to look at the access and would provide a quote the following week. A week later when i contacted him, he said his guy hadn't been able to get out, but would soon. Since then, nothing. I've left vm's for him on his cel and

Just ordered a hot tub here and it was delivered a few weeks later. I guess Covid has everyone wanting the finer things. I went to almost very hot tub store in the immediate area, as this is our first one and we had no idea what to expect price wise. These guys beat everyone else, hands down- despite claims from the other places that they were giving me a deal too good to pass up. Delivery was a breeze and the guys who dropped it off are probably my favorite people to every deliver something at my house- so sweet and professional.
They recommended Reyff Electric who again, gave me the best quote

Exceptional sales experience. They work with you and listen to your needs before recommending anything. Kyle was so amazing and deserve a raise for all the time and effort he put into my sale! He was so patient with me and my thousand of questions I put him through. I was taking my time making sure the purchase made sense to me. Thanks Kyle again!
Sorry it took so long for me to review.

I am extremely happy with my experience here, and with their follow-up service. We shopped at a couple of other places, but Gabe was by far more knowledgeable and helpful than the salespeople we spoke to at other stores. After buying my hot tub, and a very professional and smooth delivery service during the holidays, I changed my mind about one of the features I had chosen. Gabe was very understanding and helpful, and worked with me to get just the setup we wanted. It was a great experience, and we will certainly recommend Sonoma Backyard to friends!

Sonoma Backyard is THE place to purchase your hot tub. The price is hard to beat and the service was top notch. This was my first time purchasing a hot tub and it was for my rental property. To say I was shocked when I heard how expensive it was is an understatement. So I did some more research and found that I couldn't find a cheaper hot tub for the hot tub I was looking for. Gabe was great in coming over himself to confirm that the hot but would fit because his team couldn't get to my house to take the measurement for another couple of weeks, right before the sale ended.

I just bought a hot tub from this store 3 months ago and just received it this month. They promised 4 week delivery, it took 8. They promised free delivery in the cost, here comes a $650 additional charge. I had to fight to get this charge off which was more than a few calls of my time.

The salesperson Kyle has been anything but demeaning when I call for help or answers. The worst customer service I have ever received from any establishment. Not what I expect from a business I spend thousands of dollars with. They said they would supply starting chemicals. I received a half bottle of shock and

I have seen their sign from the 101 numerous times and heard them advertised on KSRO Fm and finally went it to see what hype was all about and I can happily say its hands down the Best Patio Furniture Store I have ever visited! What an incredible selection of high quality American made, CA & NY and Sustainable Bolivian made furniture, by Jensen which has a great company culture. This was explained to us by Aaron, who is very educated and passionate about the quality and construction of the variety of manufacturers in the show room. We were very pleased to know we can actually purchase a patio

Like many other posting here we also did a ton of research on our hot tub. We visited 4 dealers in the Sonoma County area but still wasn't exactly sure what we wanted. On a whim we visited Gabe at Sonoma Backyard minutes before closing one evening. We immediately felt comfortable and Gabe answered all of our newbie questions. Leading up to the delivery Gabe stayed in touch updating us on status and timing. Sonoma Backyard even coordinated directly with the electrician we chose making the process even easier. After the hot tub was delivered and hooked up we had a few questions on it's

Most of the time when i post about a business it is to complain about their lack of ethic. In balance i am posting about Sonoma Backyard.

Their sales staff were knowledgeable and honest. My sales rep only considered what i said i wanted and represented the options available to me without bias or manipulation. My experience with every member of their staff was efficient and pleasant. The folks who delivered my hot-tub were exemplary in their professionalism and attention to detail, and it was not an easy installation by any means. Add to this, that I am not one who can stand a 2% deviation from

We recently bought a new home in Monte Rio and wanted a hot tub. I spent a considerable amount of time research EVERY aspect of hot tubs, from manufacturer, model, type, to dealer. At the end of the day, it became clear that the leading manufacturers are pretty much the same and that it really is about the dealer you go with, and their support and service.

We went with Sonoma Back Yard from a very strong recommendation from our dear friends in the area. We decided on a big tub since we have lots of friends. We got a good price on our tub and so far it has been a great decision. We have worked

Sonoma Backyard has very high quality outdoor furniture and an amazing staff who went above and beyond the call of duty for us! We purchased a discounted, showroom model beautiful outdoor kitchen that came with a propane BBQ grill. They overnighted us a conversion kit so we could hook it up to our natural gas. When the kit was delayed beyond the date for our celebratory BBQ, they came over and hooked up propane so that we could have our BBQ. Then, when the kit came, they delivered it and took the propane tank away. We also bought the bar stools (also the showroom models and seriously discounted

Looking at their web site I thought I hit the king of all outdoor furniture stores. What I soon found out after getting there is there is more yard furniture at your local Lowe's, Home Depot and Orchard Supply. They must have used one of those special fish eye lenses on the camera when they took the picture of the showroom. That was a waste of time. The help wasn't anywhere as good as the aforementioned stores either. I was told they could order anything I needed, but I can do that as well on line, with free shipping and not sales tax.

I'd forget this place.
