Bamboo Removal & Trimming
Bamboo is a much loved, fast growing ornamental grass, planted and cared for to spectacular effect in many gardens. Bamboo grows fast. And left to its own devices, it can become an annoyance very quickly. Growing through an underground network of rhizomes, bamboo can quickly invade a large area, and left uncontrolled for even a few months, can cause a wide spread. Bamboo is a very aggressive grower, stopping at almost nothing as it spreads, including, believe it or not, forcing its way through patio’s, paving, and even into conservatory floors.
It is possible to bring a planting of bamboo back under control, leaving an ornate, controlled plantation, but sometimes, the problem is more than aesthetic. Bamboo can cause a surprising amount of damage, and to stop it, complete removal is required. With decades of experience, we can bring your bamboo back under control and advice on how to keep it under control. Or remove it completely, saving both the garden, and the building. As expert ground clearers, we will remove bamboo without causing collateral damage to lawns and flowerbeds, whilst ensuring that all bamboo is removed, preventing further spread. We will also remove all debris and waste from site.
There are two main types of bamboo, cluster forming bamboo, which requires occasional thinning and cutting, and the far more troublesome running bamboo. It is the running bamboo that quickly gets out of control, and causes the most damage to gardens, and more expensively, structures, whether temporary garden structures, paving or houses. Running bamboo should be removed or controlled as soon as possible to prevent further spread and damage.
Removing whole areas of running bamboo can be very tricky, especially for large plants or heavy soils. Having the correct equipment means that the task is fast and effective, ensuring that the whole area (or just the desired patch) is cleared without risk of re-spreading, whilst ensuring as little collateral damage to the rest of the garden or property.
