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.

Four years in and this pool still delivers on every promise made at the start. From the first consultation through swim day, the process was smooth and the crew was great to work with. They built exactly what we envisioned — the right shape, the right features, and a bubbler the kids love. When our pool light went out years later, they replaced it at no charge with a smile. Best decision we ever made.

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
Does Copperopolis’s climate support year-round spa use? +
Yes. Copperopolis sits at foothill elevation where summer evenings cool significantly and winters are mild compared to higher Sierra elevations. Spring and fall are ideal spa seasons, and winter evenings on a foothill property with a well-insulated spa are genuinely pleasant. The temperature range is one of the practical arguments for a spa in Copperopolis that doesn’t apply as strongly in the Valley floor cities.
How does sloped terrain affect spa design in Copperopolis? +
Slope can work in the design’s favor for a spillway spa: a natural grade difference can allow a raised spa elevation without requiring as much additional earthwork as a flat site would. The structural design must account for the raised masonry on a hillside, including soil stability and drainage. Fetter evaluates slope and topography during the site assessment and incorporates them into the spa design.
Can the spa heat independently from the pool in Copperopolis? +
Yes. All Fetter pool and spa installations are plumbed for independent spa heating. The spa reaches usable temperature in 30 to 60 minutes without heating the full pool. Equipment typically includes smartphone app control for remote preheat. On foothill properties where the outdoor space is a key part of the lifestyle, that convenience is used frequently.
Are there HOA requirements for pool and spa construction in Copperopolis? +
Most of Copperopolis is unincorporated Calaveras County with no mandatory HOA requirements. Specific developments — Saddle Creek, for example — may have CC&Rs that govern backyard construction. Homeowners should check their property’s governing documents. For most Copperopolis properties, the permit process runs directly through Calaveras County.
Is a pool and spa a good fit for a Lake Tulloch area property? +
Yes. Lake Tulloch-area properties are a lifestyle investment, and a pool and spa combination fits that context well. The property already draws people who prioritize outdoor living, and a complete backyard installation extends that in every season. Fetter evaluates properties near the lake individually for any site-specific conditions before finalizing the design.
