A well-designed water feature changes how a pool feels — the sound of moving water, the visual movement of a sheer descent or waterfall, the glow of water lit from behind after dark. In Riverbank’s long warm summers, a backyard that engages more than one sense is one you’ll actually spend time in. Fetter designs water features as part of the overall pool concept from the beginning — scale, style, and placement are considered relative to the pool’s shape and the yard’s aesthetic, not added on as afterthoughts.

For Riverbank properties, sheer descents are among the most popular choices — particularly for the newer, more compact lots in developing neighborhoods. A single or double sheer descent mounted on a raised bond beam delivers strong visual and auditory impact without requiring additional space. Natural rock waterfalls and grottos suit larger yards and more tropical or lagoon-style designs. Deck jets and bubblers add playfulness to family pools with tanning ledges. All features are plumbed on independent circuits and controlled through the pool’s automation system, including smartphone app control. LED lighting behind or beneath water features creates nighttime effects that transform the backyard after dark.

Fetter has been designing and building pool water features across Stanislaus County since 1987. We’ll match the feature to your design, your yard, and your budget — not the other way around. Call (209) 545-3002 to schedule your free consultation.

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.

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 water features work best for Riverbank pools? +
Sheer descents are the most popular choice for Riverbank pools, especially on compact lots, because they deliver strong visual and sound impact without requiring additional space. Natural rock waterfalls suit larger yards and tropical or lagoon-style designs. Deck jets and bubblers work well in family pools with shallow tanning areas. Fetter matches the feature to your pool design and yard dimensions — not a standard catalog option.
Do water features require extra maintenance? +
Most water features share the pool’s circulation system and add minimal maintenance burden. Natural stone features require occasional cleaning to prevent mineral staining in the Central Valley’s hard water conditions. More complex features with separate pump circuits have additional equipment to maintain. Fetter walks through maintenance requirements for any feature before the design is finalized.
Can water features be added to an existing pool in Riverbank? +
Some features can be retrofitted — deck jets and raised wall features are more adaptable than structural additions like grottos. Whether a retrofit is practical depends on the existing pool’s construction, available deck space, and existing plumbing and equipment capacity. Fetter assesses retrofit feasibility case by case.
Does Riverbank's hard water affect pool water features? +
Hard water is common throughout the Central Valley and can cause mineral scaling on water feature surfaces — particularly on natural stone and tile. Proper water chemistry management reduces this significantly. Fetter selects feature materials with Central Valley water conditions in mind, and we discuss maintenance expectations for each feature during the design phase.
Can water features be controlled from a smartphone? +
Yes. Water features are plumbed on independent circuits through the pool’s automation system, which typically includes smartphone app control. You can run pool filtration without the features, activate features independently, or schedule them on a timer. Fetter installs and configures automation systems as part of every water feature build.
