Howard Wire Cloth Co.
Need a gopher basket that isn't 1, 5, or 15 gallon? We build them to your dimensions in Hayward, California — any diameter, any height, in the same 2 mesh, 19 gauge galvanized-after-weld wire as our stock sizes.
Common custom work includes oversized baskets for specimen trees, shallow wide baskets for raised beds, square baskets to fit planter boxes, and heavier gauges for rocky ground or high-pressure gopher areas.
Add this to your quote cart and put the measurements in the notes, or call us and we'll work it out on the phone.
1, 5 and 15 gallon baskets are in stock and ready to buy directly — see the Burrowcade™ Gopher Baskets.
Landscape-job quantities are handled over the phone so we can confirm sizing, lead time, and freight. Call (510) 887-8787.
The basket protects new roots from gophers. When the tree goes in next to a sidewalk, driveway or foundation, line the trench with copper root barrier too.
16 mesh woven copper you bury upright between the tree and the hardscape. It greatly reduces root growth toward concrete, footings and pipes, and water still drains through.
