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.

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!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Mountain House HOA need to approve water features? +
Yes. Mountain House HOA architectural review covers the full pool project, including water features. Design compatibility, materials, and placement are all evaluated. Fetter designs water features to meet HOA standards from the start and includes them in the HOA submittal package as part of the full project review.
What water features work well with Mountain House’s soil conditions? +
Sheer descents and deck jets are structurally well-suited to Mountain House’s expansive clay because they deliver strong impact without the additional masonry load of rock waterfalls or grottos. On properties with more stable soil profiles, natural rock features are viable with proper structural engineering. Fetter identifies the right fit based on the soil conditions at each specific property.
Does hard water in Mountain House affect water features? +
Hard water affects all wetted surfaces, including the faces and surrounds of water features. Mineral scaling can build up on feature surfaces over time, particularly on sheer descent blades and natural stone. Fetter accounts for water quality in material selection for feature surrounds and recommends appropriate water treatment to manage scaling in Mountain House’s hard water environment.
Can water features be added to a Mountain House pool after construction? +
Some features can be retrofitted. Deck jets adapt more easily than structural additions like grottos or raised waterfalls. Any retrofit in Mountain House also requires HOA review and potentially a county permit amendment, depending on the scope of the addition. Fetter assesses retrofit requests case by case.
Does LED lighting work well with water features in Mountain House? +
Yes. LED lighting integrated into or positioned behind water features transforms the evening backyard experience and is well suited to Mountain House’s family-oriented outdoor lifestyle. The effect of light through a sheer descent or behind a waterfall at night is one of the most impactful elements in a backyard pool design. Fetter incorporates lighting into every water feature design as part of the overall lighting plan.
