Custom Pool Design
We create tailored pool designs that match individual lifestyles and property characteristics. Our process begins with understanding client needs for recreation, entertainment, or relaxation, followed by 3D modeling to visualize the final product. With expertise in traditional, Mediterranean, tropical, and lagoon styles, we ensure functional beauty while meeting structural requirements.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Our outdoor living solutions integrate pools with complementary features like fire pits, custom bars, and shaded seating areas. We design cohesive environments that maximize California's climate through strategic placement of hardscaping, lighting, and functional elements that enhance poolside enjoyment and social gatherings.

We install customized water elements including cascading waterfalls, spa spillovers, and decorative sconces that enhance aesthetic appeal and ambiance. These features are designed to complement pool architecture while creating soothing auditory experiences that transform backyards into tranquil retreats.

Such a terrible disappointment, our dream yard in our dream house scarred by amateur hour. We tried extremely hard to to allow ample opportunities for grievance reconciliation with seemingly no way move forward. We have attempted to speak with management as well as the company owner, only to wish we hadn't. I have never felt so disrespected, or belittled, by condescending contractor talk. If you select Fetter, as your contractor contact us and we will provide specifics with full disclosure.

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.

Ross and crew were awesome! We absolutely love our pool! DJ has been amazing, answering all of our questions promptly and taking time to really explain the maintenance process after learning I am going to try to maintain the pool without a pool service. We haven't had a chance to swim in it yet (let me rephrase that, my kids did a polar bear plunge when the pool was finished in December), but we are looking forward to an amazing summer!
