Water Well Drilling & Pump Repair in Aubrey, TX | DFW Well Service

Service Area Overview

Licensed well drilling and pump service on Aubrey acreage in eastern Denton County, where the Woodbine aquifer is the primary residential source.

DFW Well Service provides water well drilling, pump repair, and inspection services throughout Aubrey and the surrounding eastern Denton County acreage. Aubrey has grown quickly in recent years, but its edges are still horse property and large-lot tracts, and many of those rely on private water wells for the home, the barn, and pasture stock. Keeping those wells performing is our business.

Wells around Aubrey draw mainly from the Woodbine, the primary residential aquifer across eastern Denton County. The Woodbine here is sandstone layered with shale and clay, up to about 600 feet thick underground, and wells usually tap its lower two water-bearing zones. Beneath it, separated by confining limestone, lie the deeper Trinity sands — the Paluxy and Twin Mountains — which serve as the fallback where a well needs to go further. Depth varies meaningfully from one parcel to the next, so there’s no single typical figure for the area, and we pull the driller’s logs from nearby wells before estimating.

Drilling rates in Denton County typically run $38–$50 per foot. Mixed formations and occasional hard limestone can affect total project cost. Longer term, the district projects the water level in the deeper Twin Mountains sand under Denton County to drop several hundred feet by 2080 — the steepest decline in the region — which is worth designing a well around.

Denton County Permit Requirements

New wells in Denton County are regulated by the North Texas Groundwater Conservation District. A pre-drilling permit is required for all new well construction, and even exempt domestic and livestock wells must register with the district.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do many Aubrey properties use private wells?
Aubrey has grown fast, but much of it is still large-lot acreage and horse property in eastern Denton County, and many of those tracts sit outside municipal water lines. On acreage like that a private water well is the standard source for the home, the barn, and pasture stock, so a dependable well matters year round.
How deep are wells in the Aubrey area of Denton County?
Aubrey sits in eastern Denton County, where the Woodbine is the primary residential aquifer. Depth still varies meaningfully from one parcel to the next, so there's no single typical figure — we review the driller's logs from neighboring wells before quoting a depth. Where a well needs to go further, the deeper Trinity sands are the fallback beneath the Woodbine.
Which GCD covers wells in Aubrey?
Aubrey is in Denton County, which falls under the North Texas Groundwater Conservation District. A pre-drilling permit is required, and even exempt domestic and livestock wells must register with the district. DFW Well Service submits the paperwork on your behalf as part of the drilling process.
What does well drilling cost in Aubrey?
Denton County drilling rates typically run $38–$50 per foot. Final cost depends on completion depth, casing, pump, and pressure equipment. We provide a free itemized written estimate after reviewing neighboring driller's logs for your parcel.
Can you inspect a well on a property I'm buying near Aubrey?
Yes. We perform well inspections and flow tests for real estate transactions throughout Denton County — and on an acreage or horse tract, flow rate matters, because a barn and pasture stock draw far more water than a house alone. A pre-purchase inspection includes a wellhead assessment, a flow rate test, and a report suitable for your due diligence file.
Do you handle pump replacements in Aubrey?
Absolutely. We replace and repair submersible pumps, pressure tanks, and associated electrical systems on existing wells throughout Denton County. If your pump has failed or your water pressure has dropped, call us for a same-day or next-day service visit.
Is the well water in Aubrey salty or brackish?
Generally fresh. Aubrey-area wells draw mainly from the Woodbine, which the Texas Water Development Board maps as fresh here; quality falls off only downdip — farther east and below about 1,500 feet of well depth. After drilling, test for total dissolved solids (a measure of how mineral-heavy the water is), iron, and sulfate.
