Recently, Kristy from Santa Cruz contacted us wondering if gopher wire would work with a California Buffalograss lawn, since the grass has such a deep root system. While the wire is a good defense for gophers coming from below ground, you’ll still have issues since they can travel above ground at night and start burrowing. Try to keep them at bay until the plugs have a chance to get established and once your California Buffalograss is mature and growing they won’t be able to do too much damage!
