AGRICULTURAL & IRRIGATION WELL DRILLING
Agricultural & Irrigation Well Drilling
When your operation depends on water, you need a well built for volume. We design and drill high-capacity agricultural and irrigation wells for farms, orchards, vineyards, and ranches across the Sacramento Valley. Family-owned and licensed.
Wells Built for Working Land
We drill high-capacity wells for operations that can't afford to run short on water:
-
Irrigation for row crops, orchards, and vineyards
-
Water for livestock, pasture, and ranch operations
-
High-capacity supply for farms and agricultural operations
-
Replacing an existing ag well that can no longer keep up with demand
Need a well for a home or residential property instead? See our Domestic Well Drilling page.
What Sets Agricultural Wells Apart
Agricultural wells aren't just bigger versions of a house well — they're engineered for volume, and getting the capacity right is the whole game. Here's how we build them.
High-Capacity Well Design
We design each well around the water volume your operation actually needs, so it delivers the gallons-per-minute your crops or livestock depend on.
Large-Diameter Drilling & Casing
Ag wells run larger diameters and heavier casing to support higher flow and bigger pumps. We drill and case to match the demand.
Well Development
We develop the well to clear sediment and maximize flow, so it produces at full capacity from day one.
Agricultural Pump Systems
We install and connect high-capacity pump systems sized to your acreage and pressure requirements — the complete setup, not just the well.
Flow Testing
We test the finished well's output so you know exactly what it produces before irrigation season.

Agricultural Well Drilling FAQs
How much water can an agricultural well produce?
It depends on the aquifer and how the well is designed. We design each well around the gallons-per-minute your operation needs and build for that capacity.
Do you handle permits for agricultural wells?
Yes. We handle the county permitting so your well is drilled legally and correctly.
What kind of pump does an ag well need?
Agricultural wells use high-capacity pump systems sized to your acreage and pressure demands. We install and connect the complete system.
How long does it take to drill an ag well?
Timelines vary with depth, capacity, and permitting. We give you a realistic schedule up front so you can plan around your season.
My existing ag well can't keep up — do I need a new one? Sometimes. If the well is declining from buildup, rehabilitation may restore it — see our Well Cleanout & Rehabilitation page. If it's undersized or failing, a new well is the answer. We assess it and tell you honestly.
