BAMBOO CAN CREATE NUMEROUS CHALLENGES FOR HOMEOWNERS

Below are 4 ways Bamboo may be causing a problem in your garden and why it may need removing.

  • Overgrowth: Bamboo can spread rapidly, damaging unwanted areas like drainage systems, wall crevices, and taking over lawns, flowerbeds, and patios.
  • Property Value: Its invasive nature can lead to property devaluation by weakening walls, damaging concrete surfaces, and obstructing drainage systems.
  • Tough Root Systems: The resilient root systems and runners make traditional gardening tools ineffective for maintenance.
  • Neighbour Disputes: Bamboo’s tendency to spill over into adjacent properties can lead to conflicts with neighbours and potentially escalate into legal issues.

Is there any specific legislation governing bamboo?

There are 2 main types of bamboo that may require removal

Running Bamboo Removal

Running bamboo is a fast-growing variety known for its ability to spread its root system underground, potentially extending up to 30 meters from the original plant. This growth often goes unnoticed until lateral rhizomes push up new shoots in unexpected areas. Unfortunately, running bamboo can cause significant damage to buildings and surrounding property, invading cracked pipework, drains, broken brickwork, walls, and patios.

Clump Bamboo Removal

Clumping bamboo is a less invasive as its shoots grow close together and the rhizomes develop vertically rather than horizontally. However, despite being less aggressive, clumping bamboo can still overgrow its designated space, overpowering surrounding plants and encroaching on areas intended for other uses. As it grows, it can cause damage, making early control essential.

Our bamboo control services focus on managing and containing bamboo through a combination of methods, including cutting, spraying, digging, and the use of natural barriers. We emphasise environmentally-friendly approaches that not only remove excess growth but also prevent future infestations. To prevent damage, timely treatment and removal of bamboo is essential.
