Bamboo control, maintenance and cleanup

Jobs are quoted after an on-site inspection

We provide bamboo control and cleaning services, too. Sometimes bamboos get ignored because you don't have the time or energy to do it yourself. Maybe you had a weekend go at it and you need to call in the pros! Whatever the size of the project we can help you out. We've been doing this as a living for years. We're also licensed, bonded, and insured for your protection.

Below are some examples of our work before and after

The picture at the left shows a very wild and crowded Phyllostachys bambusoides beside a home. It had a significant amount of runners going all the way into the back yard, approximately 30 feet out of bounds. There was a barrier installed around the bamboo, but as expected, the bamboo escaped. Another reason not to bother with barriers. The picture at the right shows the Phyllostachys bambusoides now under control. Notice how much cleaner and open the bamboo grove is, but it still retains its screening characteristics. We also installed a control ditch around the bamboo for easy maintenance of the rhizomes.

Before and after. Let the light shine in! Notice the little boy on the steps.
Now the folks can use their stairs again. Access to it previously was dubious.

Below is a mass of rhizomes pried away from the concrete driveway. We had to chase them all the way to the back yard, under shrubbery, bricks, around pipes, etc.

Here on another job we trimmed back the bamboo and put a control ditch all around it because the owner did not want the bamboo to go either into her yard or the neighbor's.
