Planting & Flowers

Beds that sit bare,

— planted, watered in & blooming.

Empty borders, tired beds, a porch that could use some color? A vetted local pro — often a neighbor with a green thumb — plants the flowers, shrubs and bulbs you pick and waters them in, for an offer you set. You pick them by name, rating, and reviews.

Why planting is better here

Three things a landscaping company won’t do

Gopher isn’t a landscaping company with a minimum job fee. It’s a local marketplace built on three simple rules.

🤝

Hassle free & haggle free

Make an offer up front or ask for instant bids. Either way you’ll experience the easiest way to find great workers ever — a single window box or a whole new border.

💵

Paid directly

Your pro is paid directly and keeps 100% of your offer — 0% commission. The plants, flowers, soil and mulch are bought at cost, the real price, never padded.

🪴

Booked to done

A pro you pick by name and rating handles it start to finish — beds prepped, everything planted at the right depth and spacing, watered in and tidied up. Beds alive again, rain or shine.

What changes for you

Planting with Gopher vs. a landscaping crew

Same bare beds, very different deal. Here’s what shifts when a neighbor handles it instead of a crew with a minimum charge.

What changes
Landscaping Companies & DIY
The Gopher Way
💵What you pay
×A landscaping company’s minimum job fee and a padded quote — whether it’s one pot or a whole bed.
You name the offer and your pro keeps 100% of it. A single planter or every border in the yard.
🧑‍🔧Who does the work
×A rotating crew you never met — or you guessing at depth and spacing on your knees all weekend.
A vetted local pro you pick by name, rating & reviews plants it right. You just pick what goes where.
🌼What gets done
×A fixed package whether your beds need a few annuals or a full redesign.
Exactly what you ask for: flowers, shrubs, bulbs or pots — as much or as little as you like.
The result
×A rushed planting that wilts in a week because nothing was set right or watered in.
Everything planted at the right depth and spacing, watered in and tidied — beds that take and bloom.
💲Plants & soil
×Plants and soil marked up and folded into a bill you can’t itemize.
Plants, flowers and soil at cost — the real price of what you picked, never padded on top.
🔁One job or standing
×A seasonal contract you re-sign just to keep color in the beds.
One planting now, or a fresh round each season — rebook the same pro for spring, summer and fall color.
No surprises

What you actually pay

Everything’s on the table before you confirm. The plants and soil you pick stay at cost:
