Gophers Can Damage More Than Just Your Lawn
Surprisingly, gophers will tunnel under all types of landscape and cause expensive damage above and below the surface. Early removal is the key to protecting your property.
Lawns & New Sod
Gophers can damage established lawns and newly installed sod by making dirt mounds from tunneling beneath the grass and then coming to the surface to harvest and eat the grass.
Plants, Gardens & Irrigation
Gophers eat plant roots and chew through drip irrigation and sprinkler lines, sometimes before you notice a problem above ground.
Artificial Turf & Hardscapes
Even artificial lawns and rocks aren't immune. Gophers will burrow under these hard surfaces to make their homes because they feel safe. Their tunnels create uneven surfaces and unsightly mounds in turf and even cracks in concrete patios and driveways.
Commercial Landscaping
Professional gopher control is also available for HOAs, retail properties, office parks, and professionally maintained commercial landscapes. Gopher Stop has a streamlined system to provide inspections, quotes, service and billing as effortless for property managers as possible.
