Dryer and lawn pump wired on same circuit?

I have a Sta-Rite lawn pump on a 110V circuit with a freezer and washing machine. When the washer and lawn pump are both on it trips a breaker. I want to convert the lawn pump to it's own circuit or 220v. The lawn pump is next to our dryer, can I wire a 220v outlet near the dryer using the same circuit for the lawn pump? Thank you!

Seems to me you'd be better off splitting some of those loads up.

If your dryer is electric it will require a dedicated circuit.

Install a new circuit.
