Gardner Brothers Drilling has been punching holes in the ground in Enterprise since 1980 — the year Enterprise was a Washington County farming town of a few hundred people surrounded by sagebrush and ranch land. Forty-six years later, the Gardner family is still drilling from that same base, serving a territory that stretches from Southern Utah into Nevada and Arizona.
The business is run as a family operation. Jeff Gardner serves as President, Gary Gardner as Secretary and Treasurer, and Melvin Gardner as Vice President — three brothers who have divided up the management of a company that handles the full spectrum of drilling and pump work: domestic wells, irrigation wells, commercial culinary wells, geothermal loop fields, monitoring wells, and specialized methods including reverse circulation, mud rotary, air rotary, percussion, and auger-boring. That breadth of drilling technique isn't common in a regional shop; it's the result of four-plus decades working in the varying geology of the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau.
The company sits at 2093 E Hwy 18, Enterprise — out on the highway east of town, with yard access for the rig equipment. Enterprise's northwest Washington County position puts Gardner Brothers in proximity to clients across the rural corridor including Veyo, Beryl, Gunlock, and the communities that dot the transition zone between the plateau and the Mojave.
