I'm replacing the lawn in my back yard and want to try and eliminate my
ongoing gopher problem. Is there anything I can do during the
killing/rototilling/planting process to help prevent future gopher
problems?
If I wanted to place a barrier around the property, how deep would I have
to
go and what material would be effective?

BTW, how can I tell if they are gophers or moles?

If they are eating the roots of your garden, it is almost certainly gophers.

Here is an excellent article on the subject:
