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
What water features work best in Lodi? +
It depends on your property’s location in Lodi. Near the Mokelumne River with deep sandy loam, natural rock waterfalls and masonry features are well-suited to stable soil conditions. On east-side properties with hardpan and potential expansive clay, sheer descents and deck jets deliver strong impact with less soil loading. Fetter matches the feature to the pool design, yard character, and your property’s specific soil conditions.
How do Lodi’s soil conditions affect water feature design? +
Heavier masonry features — natural rock waterfalls, raised bond beam structures — place additional load on surrounding soil. On east-side Lodi properties with hardpan or expansive clay, this load needs engineering consideration. Near the Mokelumne River with deep sandy loam, these conditions are less constraining. Fetter’s site assessment informs the right feature approach for your property.
Do water features enhance the outdoor living experience in Lodi’s climate? +
Significantly. Lodi’s delta-breeze-cooled evenings create outdoor conditions that are particularly enjoyable from late afternoon into the night. Moving water adds both evaporative cooling and ambient sound that makes the outdoor environment richer. LED-lit water features are especially effective after dark in Lodi’s pleasant evening temperatures.
Are water features included in the San Joaquin County pool permit? +
Yes. Water features that are part of the pool system are covered under the pool construction permit issued through San Joaquin County. Fetter includes all features in the permit application and manages the complete process from drawings through final inspection.
Can water features be added to an existing pool in Lodi? +
Some features can be retrofitted — deck jets and raised wall sheer descents adapt more easily than structural features like grottos. Retrofit feasibility depends on the existing pool’s construction, available deck space, and plumbing capacity. Fetter assesses retrofits case by case.
