My wife and I are very happy we went with Ultimate pools by Fetter for our pool. We talked to a couple of other companies and were impressed by Fetter because they didn’t try to talk us into anything we didn’t want. They were patient with us during our design phase as we started out wanting a spa and water feature and then changing our minds to just getting a pool. At no time did they try to talk us into into getting a particular pebble finish or plaster finish for the interior. Ross was straight forward about what he thought would work best for us and told us the pros and cons for every decision we made. He was great at explaining the process and what to expect each step of the way. Once the pool was complete, they have been great at answering all of our questions about pool chemistry too! We would definitely recommend using them to put in your pool! We went with a French Gray plaster and love the way the water color turned out.

I hired Ultimated Pools by Fetter and they did an amazing job!! My pool looks beautiful. Sargon and his crew are fantastic. Not only they built my pools with no issues and on record time.

We absolutely love our pool done by Ultimate Pools by Fetter! Ross is by far the most knowledgeable pool contractor out there and we had quotes from 6 different contractors. Ross went above and beyond researching laws to allow us to change our backyard, that other contractors wanted myself to do. He is definitely a step a head of the game at all times. I highly recommend this company to any one thinking about building a pool. Ross was with us a 100% of the way and a phone call away at all times if needed. We will have a lifetime of memories in our backyard due to what Ross created for us.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do Lodi’s varied soils affect pool design? +
Lodi’s soil varies by location: deep alluvial sandy loam near the Mokelumne River drains well and is generally favorable; east-side hardpan at 2 to 6 feet affects excavation and drainage design; pockets of expansive clay require structural provisions. Fetter’s site assessment identifies the specific conditions at your property before the design is finalized, so the structural approach is matched to what’s actually in the ground.
How long does the pool design and permit process take in Lodi? +
The design phase typically takes two to four weeks from initial site visit to a finalized 3D rendering. San Joaquin County processes pool permits electronically in approximately two weeks. Inspection response times in Lodi are generally next day. Fetter manages the complete process from design through permit approval.
Does Lodi’s delta breeze affect pool and outdoor living design? +
Yes, in a positive way. Delta breezes off the Mokelumne River and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta moderate Lodi’s afternoon temperatures compared to cities further south and east. This makes outdoor living in Lodi particularly enjoyable in the late afternoon and evening, which shapes how we think about shade structure placement, outdoor kitchen orientation, and fire feature positioning in the design.
Who handles pool permits in Lodi? +
Pool permits in Lodi are issued through San Joaquin County, not the City of Lodi. Fetter prepares all engineering drawings, submits to the county, and coordinates inspections at each required stage. Permit costs in Lodi are among the lower end compared to surrounding cities.
What does the 3D pool design process include? +
Our 3D renderings show the full backyard transformation — pool shape, depth transitions, coping and decking, water features, and spa placement. You see a realistic view of the finished space before any work begins. We review and refine together until the design is exactly right. Changes at the design stage cost nothing compared to changes during construction.
