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!

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
What outdoor living features are most popular in Oakdale? +
Shade structures — pergolas and patio covers — are essentially mandatory given Oakdale’s summer heat. Outdoor kitchens and BBQ areas are consistently popular. Fire features extend backyard use into Oakdale’s cooler fall and winter evenings. Tanning ledges within the pool are increasingly popular for families who want a comfortable shallow water area.
What decking materials hold up best in Oakdale's heat? +
Lighter-toned travertine, concrete, and pavers perform best in Oakdale’s intense summer sun. Darker stone and concrete can become extremely hot underfoot in direct afternoon sun — a real usability issue at 100-plus degrees. Fetter reviews material thermal performance in Central Valley conditions with every client before finalizing selections.
Do outdoor structures require permits in Oakdale? +
Yes. Permanent outdoor structures including attached pergolas, outdoor kitchens with gas and electrical, and similar features require permits through the Oakdale building department. Fetter handles permit applications for the full scope of work we design and build, including outdoor living structures, as part of every project.
Can Fetter handle the full backyard build in Oakdale? +
Yes. Fetter handles the complete scope — pool, spa, decking, outdoor kitchen, pergola, fire features, and water features — as a unified project. You work with one team and one design vision from concept through completion. For full landscape installation beyond hardscape, we coordinate with or refer trusted landscape partners.
How long does an outdoor living project take in Oakdale? +
A project combining pool construction with outdoor living elements typically adds two to four weeks beyond the pool timeline depending on scope. Standalone outdoor living projects without pool construction generally run three to six weeks from permit approval. Fetter provides a full project timeline before work begins.
