Ranches, farms, and rural businesses run on water. Whether you’re irrigating pasture, watering livestock, or supplying a commercial operation, a properly engineered well is the backbone of the property.

We connect agricultural and commercial landowners with drillers experienced in high-demand systems — and your quote comes from the driller, not a salesperson.

Agricultural Wells

• Livestock water — reliable year-round supply for cattle, horses, and other animals
• Irrigation — pasture, hay, crops, and orchards; sized to your acreage and water needs
• Multiple wells — larger spreads often benefit from more than one well placed strategically

Commercial Wells

• Rural businesses — offices, workshops, event venues, and facilities beyond municipal lines
• Nurseries and landscaping operations — high-volume irrigation supply
• Construction and dust control — temporary or permanent supply wells

How Agricultural & Commercial Wells Differ From Residential

Higher capacity. Everything scales up: larger boreholes, bigger pumps, higher flow rates, and often storage tanks to buffer peak demand.

Storage systems. Many operations pair the well with atmospheric storage tanks (hundreds to thousands of gallons) so the well refills the tank steadily while the property draws heavily during peak use.

Engineering matters more. Sizing the pump, tank, and distribution correctly up front prevents costly rework. An experienced agricultural driller will ask about your actual water budget — head of livestock, irrigated acres, peak daily use — before recommending a system.

Cost Factors

Agricultural and commercial wells vary widely because demand varies widely. The same drivers apply as residential — depth, geology, casing — plus:

• Pump capacity — larger pumps cost more to buy and run
• Storage tanks and controls — from a few hundred to several thousand gallons
• Distribution — trenching, piping, and hydrants across the property
• Electrical — three-phase power for large pumps where available

Because every operation is different, these projects start with a conversation, not a price list. Call (940) 370-5200 — describe your land and your water needs, and we’ll match you with a driller who handles this scale of work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a different permit for agricultural use?

The well registration process is the same, but groundwater districts may have production reporting requirements for higher-volume wells. Your driller will know the local rules. (Permits guide →)

Can one well serve both my house and my livestock?

Often yes, if it’s sized for the combined demand. Many landowners run the house off the well’s pressure system and add storage for agricultural use.

What about drought?

Properly constructed wells in the Trinity Aquifer system have served North Texas through many dry cycles. Correct depth and construction are what make a well drought-resilient — another reason to use an experienced driller.
