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. But also it was extremely affordable compared to the competitors. Am very happy with my pool and will recommend Ultimate Pools by Fetter to anyone! Thanks Sargon and Ultimate pools by fetter!

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.

Fetter did an amazing job building my dad’s pool. They answered all his questions thoroughly and explained to him in detail step by step of the process. The workers are very professional and knowledgeable, they put his worries to ease. The pool itself is so beautiful, my parents love it! 10/10 I’d recommend them!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does River Islands HOA review cover outdoor living additions? +
Yes. River Islands HOA architectural review covers the full backyard scope — pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fire features, fencing, and other permanent additions are all subject to review for design compatibility. Fetter includes all outdoor living elements in the initial HOA submittal so the full project is reviewed together.
What outdoor living features are popular in Lathrop? +
Covered outdoor dining areas and shade structures are consistently high priority — Central Valley summers are hot and outdoor dining requires shade for much of the season. Outdoor kitchens fit well in River Islands’ community-oriented lifestyle. Fire features extend the season into cooler evenings. Tanning ledges within the pool are popular for families with young children.
Do outdoor structures need permits in Lathrop? +
Permanent outdoor structures — attached pergolas, outdoor kitchens with gas and electrical, and similar additions — require San Joaquin County permits in addition to HOA approval for River Islands homeowners. Fetter handles county permit applications for the full project scope and coordinates HOA submittal so both processes advance together.
What decking materials work well in Lathrop? +
Lighter-toned travertine, concrete, and pavers perform best in Central Valley summer heat. Darker surfaces can become uncomfortable underfoot in direct afternoon sun. In River Islands, decking material and color also carry aesthetic weight in HOA review. Fetter reviews both thermal performance and HOA compatibility when making decking recommendations for each property.
Can Fetter handle the full backyard build in Lathrop? +
Yes. Fetter manages the complete scope — pool, spa, decking, outdoor kitchen, pergola, fire features, and water features — as a unified project with one design vision and one point of accountability from concept through completion. That includes HOA submittal preparation for River Islands homeowners, San Joaquin County permit management, and all inspection coordination.
