Water well drilling & service in Harper, TX

Harper sits at the headwaters of the Pedernales River on US Highway 290, about 23 miles west of Fredericksburg, in the rolling granite terrain of the Texas Hill Country. As an unincorporated community with deep ranching roots since 1863, much of the surrounding land remains working ranch country where residents depend on water wells for their homes and operations. The Edwards-Trinity and Hickory aquifer systems underlie this part of Gillespie County, making reliable well construction and pump maintenance essential for land owners throughout the area. TR Drilling and Service is a Boerne-based company that has been drilling and servicing water wells across the Texas Hill Country since 1985, and we are proud to serve Harper and the surrounding communities including Fredericksburg, Kerrville, Ingram, and Junction.

Beneath Harper, you're generally drilling into the Edwards-Trinity (Plateau) and Hickory aquifers. Depth varies with the geology, the Hickory's artesian zone can run very deep, and in fact much of Fredericksburg's municipal water comes from the Ellenburger-San Saba and Hickory. That local knowledge is the most valuable thing we bring to your property. It's the difference between a well that produces for decades and an expensive dry hole. We also handle the well registration and permitting that comes with the Hill Country Underground Water Conservation District, so that paperwork is one less thing for you to chase down. (Well permits in your area)

From the first test hole to a pump swap years down the road, Harper gets one local crew for the whole water system, no juggling subcontractors and no passing the buck.
