Gabe and crew at Sonoma backyard are true professionals. They have been super helpful in answering all our questions about how to own and operate our spa. They have a wide selection of quality new spas to choose from, and a great sales and services team to help you out. I definitely recommend this business. read more

Everyone in the store is so nice and customer friendly. I only recommend this place. For your needs shop here. Quality stuff

We love love Sonoma Backyard! Looks so wonderful we expected it to be pricy, but actually found our most affordable hot tub here. Yep looking for a small one we picked the Iris model. It's awesome. The staff were so kind with my many questions buying style. And so knowledgeable! They gave us everything we needed to get going including incredibly kind patient happy delivery/set up team and a wonderful recommendation for an excellent electrician very knowledgeable about hot tub needs. We are so happy and grateful AND so much more relaxed and healthy. Seriously tho we shopped all over the county and met many bored sales guys. Who tried to upgrade our budgets and desires. Not here tho. They still happily take our post purchase random calls. Oh! I even forgot we had to have a service for a minor repair that we beautifully and quick. Nice nice team. read more

Sonoma Backyard - Here's Iris chillin in our back yard - Hot Tub & Pool Near Me - Cotati, California

Stephen, Louis and Thomas made our family's dream come true. They were supportive and responsive throughout the process: from Stephen who showed me pool designs and was always a phone call or text away, to Thomas who made sure things started on the right foot to Louis who managed the project to completion. The entire team, including Chuy, Art and Patric, who plastered, filled and maintain our pool, respectively, are genuinely wonderful people. For such a large investment, it's reassuring to work with a great company. Can't say how delighted and grateful we are for our pool and spa. What a great summer it has been for our family and friends. And to many more! read more

I bought a spa from Sonoma Backyard 7 years ago and just contacted Gabe about a problem with the sound system. He was EXTREMELY more helpful with his time and went the extra mile to help me out. This is consistent with every interaction I have had with people from this company over the years. What a delight it is to find people who love their jobs and do them extremely well!

Go see Gabe! When I originally came in, I was ignored by the other staff member on the floor. Gabe was on the phone in his office, and after I browsed the floor and was headed out the door since no one seemed to help me, he ran out of his office apologizing that he was stuck on the phone and helped me (the other guy was still ignoring me, so weird). Gabe is a straight shooter, and so am I so I appreciate that. Quick and to the point, got me quotes right away. Super fast experience and I have nothing negative to say. Give this guy a raise. We love our hot tub, thank you Gabe! read more

We purchased an Adirondack Patio Chair from Sonoma Backyard ten years ago, which came with a 20 Year Warranty, and recently had a part on it malfunction. Even after ten years from making our original purchase, the staff at Sonoma Backyard went out of their way to assist getting us a replacement part from the manufacturer, and due to the part being back ordered for several months, even providing a replacement chair to use until the replacement part arrived. The replacement part arrived sooner than estimated, and they rebuilt our chair back to "as new" condition. This is highest level of customer support and warranty service you are going to find anywhere - period. For the highest quality product and service shop locally at Sonoma Backyard! Special shout out to Keenan, Kyle, and Carl (and the rest of the staff)! Vince D. read more

We had our deck re-built in the Fall and was looking for new furniture to make our new outdoor space feel comfortable and inviting. Keenan was so helpful and patient, answering our questions and offering suggestions. We ended up finding exactly what we needed. Our furniture was just delivered today, just in time to begin enjoying the Spring weather, and we are so pleased! The delivery crew were friendly and respectful and did a great job setting up our furniture. Thank you Sonoma Backyard team! read more

I purchased an outdoor kitchen from Sonoma Backyard several years ago and had some questions regarding maintenance/repair of the gas grill. I spoke with Keenan who was incredibly helpful. At first he took me to the manufacturer's website to find a video on what I wanted to do. When we were unable to locate what we were looking for he then took my personal info and sent me a video of him completing the task himself on a grill that they had in store. When I first called for help I didn't have high expectations and thought that I would likely be referred to the manufacturer for help so needless to say I was quite delighted with my experience with Keenan. read more

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. read more

My old hot tub was leaking, and cost too much to repair. I just wanted to replace it without any hassle. I emailed Sonoma Backyard explaining what I was looking for. The next morning I received an email from Kyle giving me options of what was available. I chose one, it was delivered a few weeks later. The old tub was removed, the new one in place. I needed the tub to be turned so the plug would reach (I was not home when the tub was delivered). Kyle was kind enough to come by before work and place the tub exactly how I wanted. It was a great experience, reasonable price and very little effort on my part other than to chose which one I wanted. I prefer to work with local companies and Sonoma Backyard was a great choice. Thank you Kyle! read more

Fantastic products support after the sale! We have had our swim spa now for four years and absolutely love it! We use it to swim against the current with the harness attachment and the exercise equipment accessories are awesome with a lot of videos available on YouTube to refer to for a complete workout. We keep it at 87 degrees for swimming in the morning and then crank it up to 102 degrees for the evening or weekend hot tub! The retractable cover works great at maintains the temp too! A few weeks ago we ran into a problem where all of our interior lights failed and we called SBY to schedule a Technician to try and come out and solve the issue. It seemed like gloom and doom as there were minimal options if he could not get the lights to work. His care and devotion really paid off as he was able to bypass the problem area and re-configure the wire to make the lights work without having to purchase a complete lighting system which would've cost several thousand dollars and instead we were just charge for an hour and a half of labor! They are also great even for the smallest thing like a broken knob that they referred us to another competitor even to find because they were out of them. read more

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 for the electrical work we needed done. Thanks Sonoma backyard! read more

I had an issue with my first spa, and Gabe at Sonoma Backyard reached out to find a solution. He provided outstanding service and fixed the issue. From initial call to installation, the support was top-notch. read more

My husband and I have been to Sonoma Backyard many times as looky-loos over the past few years to admire the beautiful spas and furniture that the store has to offer but we didn't think we would ever make the investment in a new spa. As we got serious about our hot tub desires we decided to try to purchase a "refurbished" spa elsewhere to save some money. Long story short after MONTHS of back and forth with the previous spa dealer we finally got our money back for the spa that was YEARS older then we were told with many broken features. We couldn't have been more excited to reach out to Sonoma Backyard about getting a new spa. Kyle was extremely helpful in immediately quoting us on six different models we were interested in via email. Being a hairdresser I don't have a lot of time to go in person for the process of choosing a spa and negotiating details. After a quick trip to nail down some options we placed the order for our Bullfrog A6 Spa. Fast forward to about a month later our spa was delivered a day earlier than scheduled after I called and wished for the possibility of getting it early. We got it hooked up and could not be happier! Sonoma Backyard is a professional business dealing beautiful well made products and we look forward to working with them again in the future. read more

In today's world with little or no customer service, I can't say enough about how well Sonoma Backyard treats their customers. I purchased some outdoor furniture in early March and they they held it for me until mid-April, when I was ready for it. When I called them to schedule a delivery, they said the truck had not yet left that day, and after checking with the driver, I received a call back that it would be delivered that afternoon. The delivery people unpacked everything and set it up exactly where I wanted it. They noticed some chair cushions were missing, called the store, and two days later I received the cushions via mail. `I'm very pleased with Sonoma Backyard's customer service and will not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. read more

Gabe is awesome. He went the extra mile to get me the product I needed and packaged it carefully so it arrived in perfect condition. How rare is it that a business will go out of their way, even when they aren't making much money off me. Whoever is in charge there should give Gabe a raise, he deserves it. read more

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. read more

We had nothing but exceptional, professional, and outstanding service from the time we walked into Sonoma Backyard. Gabe helped us pick out a hot tub to be installed in our home that was supposed to be rebuilt. Unfortunately we wont get to move into that house after all. Gabe was extremely understanding and kind about a tough situation for us. We really appreciate the service we got at Sonoma Backyard, and in the future when we want to buy a hot tub for our next home, we will only purchase from them. Thank you! read more

Gabe is awesome!!! Our overall experience with Sonoma Backyard so far has been great. When we first walked into the store, we were met with Gabe. My husband and I told him what we were looking for and he took us around educating us on the various hot tubs and features and recommending what he felt would work for us. We didn't buy that day and he stayed in touch (not annoying) to see if we had any questions or if there was anything we needed from him. When we were ready, the purchase process was fairly quick and delivery and everything we could expect was clearly communicated. When our hot tub was delivered, there were several scrapes in the shell (which we were told by the delivery service could be from being stacked on pallets by the manufacturer). I was very disappointed and contacted Gabe with photos. We discussed a discount and he asked if he could come out to try and buff out the blemishes (not to replace the discount, but so they wouldn't be as visible). He was at our house less than 24 hours from when I first reached out and spent almost an hour working on the tub. When he was finished, I couldn't even see a trace of the scratches and told him no discount necessary - I was so happy! But, for the hassle we experienced he offered store credit for chemicals/products. I highly recommend Gabe and Sonoma Backyard to someone who is looking for a company who stands behind their products and offers top notch customer service! read more

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 a frog with no training for use. I can't get this tub clear with with only 3 weekends of use. I called Demeaning Kyle and he continues to talk over me and tell me to drain my tub and start over using chlorine as this is the chemical I'm familiar with. I have no support and worry about the next three years of warranty. I will keep you posted. read more

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. read more

Beautiful, high end, quality patio furniture. Our salesperson was very knowledgeable and helpful. We received excellent customer service from the manager, Gabe. There was a miscommunication about a restocking fee and Gabe went above and beyond to correct the problem. I recommend this store and would shop there again. read more

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 office phone and the main line at Sonoma Backyard. I've sent him emails. I've spoken to someone answering the main line who said they'd seen him in the office that morning and asked them to have him call me. if the job is too complex or your schedule is full, just let me know. close the loop. I wasted a lot of time waiting for you. I certainly won't buy any outdoor furniture from Sonoma Backyard to go around the pool after someone else builds it. read more

Just had a brief chat with Stephen at Sonoma Backyard and was very impressed with his knowledge and easy going attitude. While our particular property may not suitable for an in ground pool it was great to get the straight scoop on why and our options. I strongly recommend Sonoma Backyard. read more

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. read more

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 with Gabe and his attention to detail and support is pretty phenomenal. He is always available to answer any question we had, regardless of how basic. Highly recommend them. read more

keenan was the best , great place to go check out for backyard stuff , will be back thanks to all the guys

We have purchased a few items over the years. Always a great selection and quality items. Our umbrellas have really held up! Most recently we purchased a hot tub from them. Gabe was the salesman who helped me and he really went above and beyond! He is very knowledgeable and helped me pick just the right spa. I never felt upsold, in fact I ended up with a less expensive model. I needed some electrical work and special/challenging delivery location and he patiently guided me through my questions and phone calls. The sale was made weeks before I was ready for delivery, but Gabe stuck around for the process. He is quick to answer his cell phone- even on his day off! (Sorry!). In the end, after it was delivered and my electrician connected it, the pump and jets didn't work. It would have required a service call ($) to diagnose the problem, but Gabe offered to swing by on his way to work and look at it. He quickly determined the the power wasn't quite hooked up correctly. Another quick visit by my electrician and it worked! Gabe really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the purchase. Those guys have always had great customer service, and this was even more exceptional! We'll be lifetime customers! read more

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) and a great umbrella from them which are fantastic. I highly recommend Sonoma BBQ for their service and quality! read more

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 umbrella Not made in China! Of course they have hot tubs, fire pits and more! This 4th of July weekend, they are having a sale and a tax free event. I highly recommend Sonoma Backyard if you appreciate quality furniture and don't mind paying a little extra for it. read more

Wow! Huge selection of patio furniture and spa's. We love our patio furniture and look forward in buying more in the near future. The Spa sales guy was friendly and very informative on their products. The ambiance is relaxing and have some nice products. read more

Great products and wonderful customer service. My sales person is Gabe and he's always been so helpful.

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! read more

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 level. So are they, it turns out. Perfect. 5 stars. Well earned. read more

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! read more

Kyle IS the best outdoor furniture consultant around. He is very knowledgeable, diligent, friendly helpful and has a keen eye in helping put together a beautiful arrangement for our deck which included a table and chairs for 8, 2 couches, 2 swivel chairs and a beautiful fire pit. A true professional, thanks Kyle read more

We bought a spa at the Sonoma County fair just a couple months ago. It was delivered perfectly. After a couple days we noticed a leek. Gabe was on top of it right away, he sent Thomas and Oliver over to our house in Napa to repair which they did in 15 minutes. Then we noticed a few jets didn't work, so out came Oliver again to check that issue. After replacing 8 jets that still didn't work he let Gabe know the status. The very next day Gabe starting working on a new replacement from the factory for us. These guys handled everything like pros. In about 3 weeks we had our new factory fresh spa that worked great the first time we turned it on. So I would not buy a Spa Hot tub ect. from anybody else! These guys stand behind what they sell and that's getting hard to fine these days. read more

We just bought a great propane-fueled fire pit table from this place. It was pricey, but I think we got a good product that will last a long time. When we were in the sales room, I felt we got great service, but that was where it stopped. We were told that the delivery date would be 4 weeks from when we purchased it, and a note on our receipt confirmed this. After 4 weeks passed, we called to see where the table was and they told us it was backordered and would arrive on July 5th. What good is it to get outdoor furniture the day after a holiday, and shouldn't you notify us when you learn something is backordered? On July 5th I received a phone call from someone telling me the "good news" that our fire pit had just left the manufacturer's warehouse. When I explained that I was expecting it to be in my yard already that day, he told me that he had a note on the order form (from 5 weeks prior at this point) that it had always been scheduled to leave the manufacturer on July 5th. What? Why would you lie to me twice about the shipping date? Or if it wasn't a lie, learn how to communicate with each other so that you stop making your customers angry! read more

Wow did I hit the jackpot! This is the best store I have ever experienced in all of Sonoma County and Marin County combined! I was looking for patio furniture as well as a hot tub and ended up purchasing both from Sonoma Backyard. Not only was the salesperson very knowledgeable but my experience all the way through delivery and set up was a class act. A+ to everyone at Sonoma Backyard for making this experience so easy. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for quality backyard products! read more
