In the heart of the Alabama Gulf Coast, where the sun kisses the waves and the salt breeze whispers secrets, there exists a man whose passion for building and nurturing the land knows no bounds. His name is Ronnie Black, and he stands at the helm of two remarkable enterprises: Gopher Lawn & Irrigation and Black Built Construction

Ronnie Black, a native of Baldwin County, wears multiple hats as the owner of Gopher Lawn & Irrigation and Black Built Construction. His passion for beautiful landscapes and building structures has been evident since a young age, and he channels this enthusiasm into his work ethics and customer relations. Gopher Lawn & Irrigation, a sister company to Black Built Construction, was born out of two things. One being client requests and the other a passion Ronnie has for landscaping design and installation. Clients sought a one-stop shop for various services, including Lawn Maintenance, Home Maintenance, remodels, and additions. By combining these services under one roof, Mr. Black’s companies provide an above-average experience for clients who want to streamline their dealings and avoid juggling multiple contractors.

From Sea to Soil: A Journey of Resilience Ronnie’s story begins with the sea—an ancient storyteller that shaped his childhood. As a commercial fisherman, he learned the rhythm of tides, the language of seagulls, and the art of survival. The saltwater ran through his veins, leaving an indelible mark on his spirit. But Ronnie’s dreams extended beyond the horizon. He yearned to build and landscape to create structures with lush lawns that would withstand time’s relentless currents. And so, with determination burning in his chest, he stepped ashore and traded his fishing nets for a hammer and landscaping equipment.

Gopher Lawn & Irrigation along with Black Built Construction emerged from Ronnie’s unwavering commitment to excellence. Ronnie Black’s legacy transcends blueprints and green lawns. It’s the laughter of families gathered around fire pits, the pride of homeowners unlocking their front doors, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing that he has left the world a little more beautiful.
