Well Drillers Near Davison, Michigan

The typical Davison-area geological profile consists of surface clays, interbedded sand, gravel, and clay zones, followed by thick shale, and capped by significant sandstone and minor limestone at greater depths. Most household wells reach bedrock or consolidated sandstone between 160-220 ft, yielding 10-15+ GPM.

Detailed Summary

Based on multiple well logs from the Davison region and surrounding townships, the most representative geological sequence starts with thick surficial glacial clays and interbedded sand/gravel deposits to approximately 120-160 ft. Below this, wells consistently encounter layers of shale (often alternating with sand or clay), before terminating in thick sandstone bedrock, sometimes with minor limestone inclusions. Most residential wells achieve strong yields (10-15+ GPM or higher) by reaching the upper portions of the sandstone between 160 and 220 ft, sometimes slightly deeper. Outlier lithologies or exceptionally thick/lens-like units were omitted to produce this generalized, averaged model.
