In the Texas Hill Country, water isn’t something you take for granted. Whether you’re running livestock near Johnson City, managing acreage outside Comfort or building a home in Canyon Lake, having a reliable water source is critical to daily life. But with unpredictable rainfall, rocky limestone formations and fluctuating aquifer levels, drilling a well here takes more than just basic equipment — it takes true local expertise.
That’s exactly what TR Drilling & Service brings to every job. Our well drilling contractors know the land, we know the water tables and we know how to give you a well that performs for the long run.
The geology of Central Texas isn’t easy. Beneath the scenic rolling hills lies a complex blend of limestone, clay and fractured rock formations. Without proper drilling knowledge, wells can hit dry pockets, fail to produce enough water or become contaminated.
That’s why every drilling project we handle starts with a detailed site evaluation. We study the property’s layout, identify the most promising water-bearing zones and select drilling depths that tap into sustainable aquifers.
Drilling in the Hill Country also means adapting to depth variations. Some wells may reach water at 200 feet, while others require 1,000 feet or more. Our experience navigating these conditions ensures we drill smart — not just deep.
A lot goes into building a reliable well. We take a step-by-step approach that ensures stability, safety and long-term performance.
After identifying the proper drilling location, we use high-quality casing to protect the well from contamination and collapse. Grouting is applied to seal off surface contaminants, while screens and filters are installed to protect your pump and preserve water clarity.
Every part of the system — from the pump to the pressure tank — is selected to match your property’s specific water usage needs. Whether you’re watering pastures, running a household or supporting agricultural operations, we make sure your system delivers steady, dependable water year-round.
Poorly constructed wells often result in recurring problems — like lower water production, higher maintenance costs and shorter equipment life. TR Drilling & Service builds wells designed to minimize those risks from the start.
When your well is drilled and built properly:
A high-quality well adds lasting value to your property and protects your water supply for years to come.
Many properties in the Hill Country benefit from pairing their well with storage solutions. Storage tanks act as a buffer during high-demand periods and protect you during power outages or pump issues.
Here in Central Texas, summers can bring record heat while drought conditions cause aquifer levels to fluctuate. Storage tanks ensure that your property has an additional reserve on hand, allowing your pump to work more efficiently and reducing wear over time. We install high-capacity storage systems designed to match your property’s unique water demands, providing extra peace of mind no matter what the weather brings.
No two water needs are identical. A small homestead near Dripping Springs may need a very different setup than a working ranch in Bandera or a vineyard outside Fredericksburg. That’s why we take the time to understand how you’ll be using your water before recommending a water well drilling plan.
TR Drilling & Service works closely with:
Our custom approach means you get the right well depth, the right equipment and a system designed to handle your water demands for decades.
When searching for well companies, you need more than just someone with equipment — you need experience that’s earned in the field. The Hill Country’s geology is highly localized, meaning drilling strategies that work in one part of Texas might not work here.
Our team lives and works in the Hill Country, so we know how to navigate the local formations and secure the best results for your specific location.
At TR Drilling & Service, we believe your water system should be as dependable as the land it supports. Our commitment to precision drilling, expert construction and long-term care ensures your property has the water it needs to thrive. Whether you’re drilling your first well or upgrading an existing system, we’re here to help every step of the way.
