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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a pool and spa worth it in Lodi’s climate? +
Yes. Lodi’s nearly 280 growing-season days and delta-breeze-cooled evenings make both pool and spa genuinely practical for most of the year. The pool handles the warm months; a heated spa extends the season through mild Lodi evenings from October through March. Many Fetter clients say the spa gets more consistent year-round use than the pool itself.
How do Lodi’s soil conditions affect pool and spa construction? +
On east-side Lodi properties with hardpan, the excavation and drainage design for raised spa features gets specific attention. Where expansive clay pockets are present, drainage provisions around raised masonry are important to prevent long-term movement. Fetter’s site assessment identifies these conditions before the structural design is finalized.
Who handles pool and spa permits in Lodi? +
Pool and spa permits in Lodi are issued through San Joaquin County. Fetter prepares engineering drawings, submits to the county, and coordinates inspections at each required stage. Processing runs approximately two weeks, with next-day inspection response. Permit costs in Lodi are among the lower end for the area.
Can a pool and spa fit on a smaller Lodi lot? +
Yes. Spillway spa designs are efficient on compact lots because the spa sits above and adjacent to the pool rather than beside it at grade — adding functionality without significant additional footprint. Fetter assesses your Lodi property to determine the best integration approach for your dimensions.
Can the spa heat independently from the pool in Lodi? +
Yes. All Fetter installations are plumbed for independent spa heating. The spa reaches temperature in 30 to 60 minutes without heating the entire pool. Equipment is sized for efficient year-round operation in Central Valley conditions and typically includes smartphone app control.
