Very professional and friendly company that is easy to work with. Gopher had an open mind with several design options for me when I did a landscape remodel on my house. There prices were very competitive based on the OUTSTANDING work they did! I use them in the summer for lawn care service and in the winter for plowing and shoveling. I would recommend them to anyone!
