How deep are wells in Denton County?
Deep enough that guessing is a bad idea. The Triangle J wells on the Texas public record in Denton County average 499 feet of total depth. Across our North Texas service area, local depths run from around 200 feet to 800 feet or more, depending on the formation and where the water is.
Most Denton County wells produce from the Trinity Aquifer, one of the most productive groundwater systems in North Texas. The Woodbine Aquifer sits shallower in certain areas and can offer strong yields at lower drilling depth where geology allows. Which one your property should target affects depth, pump sizing, and cost, so before we drill we pull the state well records around your land and look at how deep your neighbors' water is.

Permits and the groundwater district
Denton County property owners work with the North Texas Groundwater Conservation District, plus the state TDLR filing that goes with every new well. The local paper permit is simpler than most people expect: it asks for the well depth and the pump depth. Permitting typically takes 2 to 4 weeks in most North Texas counties, and Triangle J coordinates and handles most of that paperwork for you. If your situation requires an engineered site plan, obtaining that stays with the property owner. Here is how permits work across our area.
One practical rule to know up front: we typically drill on properties of 2 or more acres, per county rules. If your lot is smaller, confirm with the county before you plan on a well.

Denton County questions
What Denton County well owners ask us
How deep will my well in Denton County need to be?
Our Denton County wells on public record average 499 feet, but local depths run from about 200 feet to 800 feet or more depending on the formation under your land. We pull the state well records around your property before drilling so the estimate is based on your neighbors' wells, not a countywide guess.
What does a well cost in Denton County?
Complete residential and light-ag systems in North Texas typically run $11,000 to $60,000 or more, driven mostly by depth and the pump and storage equipment your property needs. Drilling is billed by borehole depth, and limestone or shale formations drill slower. See the full cost guide.
Do I need a permit, and do you handle it?
Yes, new wells here go through the North Texas Groundwater Conservation District plus the state TDLR filing, and we coordinate and handle most of that paperwork. Permitting typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. If an engineered site plan is required, that part stays with the property owner.
My lot is small. Can I still drill a well?
We typically drill on properties of 2 or more acres, per county rules. If your lot is smaller than that, check with the county first. Call or text us and we will tell you straight whether your property is a good candidate.
Which aquifer will my well use?
Most likely the Trinity, which supports both residential and agricultural wells across Denton County. The Woodbine is shallower in some zones and can be a good option where geology allows. We advise per property after an on-site evaluation and a records check. Compare the two aquifers here.
