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.

Gopher mounds damaging newly installed sod

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.
