New Wells
Water Well Drilling for Hood & Parker County's Growth Market
Parker County has reported more new water wells drilled than any other county in Texas, and Hood County has more than twenty subdivisions under construction — most of them beyond city water lines. If you're building on raw acreage in this market, water well drilling is usually the first call, not an afterthought. We evaluate the site, pick a target formation, and drill a well sized for how you'll actually use it: a household supply, an irrigation well for a few acres, or a livestock well for cattle and horses.
Every well starts with a look at what nearby wells have already told us. State Well Reports are public record — filed by the driller for every well in Texas — and they show depth, formation, and yield for wells already in the ground near your property. That history, combined with our own site evaluation, is how we land on a target depth instead of guessing.
Paluxy Completion
The Paluxy sand is Parker County's workhorse formation — it supplies more household wells there than every other formation combined, and it generally produces cleaner, less mineral-heavy water than the deeper Twin Mountains.
Twin Mountains Completion
The Twin Mountains (Travis Peak) formation is the most prolific producer in this part of Texas and yields strongly, but water quality typically runs harder and more iron-heavy — especially where the formation outcrops near the surface toward the western reaches of both counties.
How Deep
Typical Well Depths on the Trinity Aquifer
Residential wells in Hood and Parker County most commonly run 100 to 400 feet, drawing from the Paluxy and Twin Mountains sands. Depth depends on location, target formation, and how much the surrounding aquifer has drawn down — new wells are frequently deeper than older wells next door, particularly in parts of Parker County where growth has pulled water levels lower over time.
The Paperwork
UTGCD Registration & Spacing, Handled for You
Hood and Parker County both sit inside the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District, and every new well has to be registered with the district before drilling begins. Most household, irrigation, and livestock wells are exempt from full permitting — generally those producing under 25 gallons per minute or used solely for domestic or livestock purposes — but the district's siting rules still apply to exempt and non-exempt wells alike:
- 2-acre minimum tract size for the well site
- At least 50 feet from any property line
- At least 150 feet from any other registered well
- State Well Report filed by the driller once the well is complete — the public record of your well's depth, formation, and construction
We handle the district registration and the State Well Report filing as part of every drilling job — it's paperwork you'd otherwise have to chase down yourself, and we don't consider a well finished until it's on file.
Complete Systems
From Drilled Hole to Running Water
Drilling the borehole is the first step, not the last. A finished well includes the casing and screen, a correctly sized submersible pump, a pressure tank and control setup, and trenching to run the line to the house, barn, or irrigation point. We handle the full build so you're not coordinating separate crews for the hole, the pump, and the plumbing.
Irrigation and livestock wells get sized differently than a household well — flow rate and recovery matter more than peak pressure — so we ask how the well will actually be used before we spec the pump and casing, not after.
Where We Drill
New Wells Across Hood & Parker County
We drill new wells throughout Granbury and the Lake Granbury area — including the acreage around Tolar, Lipan, and Cresson — and across Weatherford and rural Parker County, from the growing fringe near Aledo to the well country around Brock, Peaster, and Millsap.
Common Questions
Water Well Drilling Questions We Hear Often
Do I need a permit to drill a water well in Hood or Parker County?
Both counties sit inside the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District, and every new well must be registered with the district before drilling starts. Most household wells are exempt from full permitting — those under 25 GPM, or used solely for domestic or livestock purposes — but district siting rules still apply, and we handle the registration paperwork as part of the job.
How deep will my well need to be?
In Hood and Parker County, residential wells typically run 100–400 feet, depending on which formation the site sits over and how the surrounding wells have drawn down the aquifer. We don't quote a depth until we've looked at nearby State Well Reports and evaluated the site.
How long does it take to drill a new well?
It depends on target depth, the rig's schedule, and what the formation throws at us. We'll give you a realistic window for your specific site during the evaluation rather than a generic promise, and we keep you posted if anything changes once drilling starts.
Will my new well produce good water or hard, iron-heavy water?
It depends on which sand the well is completed in. Paluxy completions generally run cleaner; Twin Mountains completions yield strongly but tend to carry more minerals, especially where that formation outcrops toward the western edge of both counties. We'll talk through the trade-off for your site before we commit to a completion depth — and if treatment is needed later, see well water treatment.
