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.

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
Can I build a pool on a smaller lot in Lodi? +
In most cases, yes. The best way to confirm is an on-site assessment where we measure your usable backyard, verify setback requirements, and assess soil conditions for your specific lot. Compact pool designs, plunge pools, and integrated pool-and-spa combinations can all work in smaller yards. The initial site visit is always free.
Does east-side Lodi hardpan affect small pool construction? +
Yes. Hardpan at 2 to 6 feet requires the same excavation attention regardless of pool size. On east-side Lodi properties, Fetter’s site assessment identifies hardpan depth and extent, and the project estimate includes any necessary provisions before work begins.
What pool types work best for smaller Lodi backyards? +
Geometric pools — rectangles and squares — use space most efficiently in compact yards. Plunge pools (10 to 15 feet long) work well for homeowners who want to cool off without requiring full lap swimming dimensions. Integrated spa designs share structural elements with the pool, adding year-round functionality without significant additional footprint. Fetter designs to the specific dimensions of your Lodi property.
How does Lodi’s delta breeze affect small backyard pool design? +
The delta breeze makes Lodi’s outdoor environment particularly enjoyable in the late afternoon and evening — which is when most people actually use their backyard. On smaller lots, we consider how shade structure placement and pool orientation can maximize comfort during those pleasant hours, not just at midday peak heat.
Will a smaller pool look out of place in my Lodi backyard? +
Not with thoughtful design. A pool well proportioned to its yard and connected naturally to the home and outdoor living spaces looks deliberate, not compromised. Fetter designs for the yard first — the pool size and shape follow from that process.
