Irrigation well drilling in North Texas
Your own water, under your own land, for lawns, pastures, gardens, and agricultural operations of every size.
Anyone who's watered a North Texas lawn through August knows what it does to a city water bill, and anyone running livestock or crops knows irrigation isn't optional. An irrigation well puts your own water under your own land to work. Triangle J Water Wells drills dedicated irrigation wells across Denton, Wise, and Cooke County for lawns and landscaping, gardens and orchards, pastures and hay fields, and agricultural operations of every size.
Why a dedicated irrigation well pays for itself
Sprinkler systems are among the biggest drivers of summer water bills, and municipal watering restrictions hit hardest exactly when your landscape needs water most. An irrigation well supplies your sprinkler system, drip lines, or stock troughs from the aquifer instead of the meter.
For many properties, the math is simple: the well pays for itself over years of summers. And what it adds in independence, watering on your schedule instead of the city's, doesn't show up on a bill. For what a complete system runs in our area, see the cost guide.
Built around your demand
Sized to what you're watering
A half-acre lawn, a five-acre horse pasture, and a forty-acre hay field need very different wells. We design around your actual demand: production rate matched to your irrigation zones, pump sized for your system's pressure requirements, and storage capacity where the watering load comes in bursts.
As with every well we drill, it starts with the state well records near your property. Most irrigation wells here produce from the Trinity or Woodbine aquifer, and knowing the depths and yields around you is how we quote accurately and drill right the first time.
When storage makes the system work
Irrigation demand comes in bursts: a sprinkler system draws hard for a few hours, then sits idle. When the watering load outpaces what the well produces hour to hour, a storage tank bridges the gap, and it keeps the pump from cycling constantly during those heavy draws. If your property runs livestock or a big irrigation system, read about our storage tanks and pressure systems.
Permits handled
Irrigation wells require the same groundwater conservation district registration as any other well in our counties: North Texas GCD in Denton and Cooke County, Upper Trinity GCD in Wise County. District rules can treat irrigation use differently from household use. We handle the filings and the questions on every job, so the paperwork never lands on your desk. More on districts and permits here.
One crew for the whole system
Like everything we build, an irrigation well from Triangle J is turnkey: records research, permitting, drilling, pump installation, and any storage or pressure equipment, from one company on one bill. Every newly drilled well carries our 2-year warranty, and we're licensed (TX #61646) and insured.
Common questions
Irrigation well questions we hear a lot
Do I need a permit for an irrigation well?
Yes. Irrigation wells require groundwater conservation district registration just like household wells, and district rules can treat irrigation use differently from domestic use. We handle the filings for you on every job.
Can one well handle both my house and my irrigation?
Sometimes, but a dedicated irrigation well keeps heavy watering loads off your household system. It depends on your well's production and your total demand. We'll look at the records near your property and tell you honestly which setup fits.
How big a well do I need?
It depends on what you're watering. We size the production rate to your irrigation zones, the pump to your system's pressure needs, and add storage where demand comes in bursts. A free estimate starts with the state well records near your land.
Will an irrigation well really save me money?
For many properties, yes, over time. Sprinkler systems drive summer water bills hard, and a well replaces that metered water with your own. Payback depends on your watering load and what the well costs to drill on your property, so we quote from real local data before you decide.
