Unfortunately, bamboo is a common garden plant – it’s fast growing and has a distinctive look. However, the quick growth of bamboo, as well as the pattern the roots grow in to, can cause damage to driveways, terraces and fence lines as well as other plants in both yours and your neighbours’ garden. Japanese Knotweed Expert have been dealing with Bamboo removal in Nottinghamshire and the surrounding area for over 25 years.
Having dealt with bamboo removal in Nottinghamshire along with a range of invasive weeds for over 25 years, our recommendation would be to eradicate all growth of Invasive Bamboo from a site. By excavating and removing the bamboo, this will ensure any traces of the plant are also removed to help prevent it from returning.
Bamboo removal in Nottinghamshire would involve our team of professionals attending the property with the appropriate machinery and tools. The bamboo would all be cut to ground level and the canes would be disposed of off-site. Following this, all of the rhizomes underground would be removed and disposed of off-site.
Once all of the bamboo has been removed from the site, our team will level the ground with fresh material leaving it ready to be re-landscaped.
Post excavation, we then provide four follow up visits including herbicidal treatment to ensure the long-term removal. **All prices are calculated on a case-by-case basis, any costs provided above are estimates only.**
Bamboo falls in to two categories (based on its root growth pattern) – clumping and running bamboo. Clumping bamboo tends to grow to be thicker and, should you wish for it to be removed, the entire root ball would need to be removed. We recommend excavating this type of bamboo carefully to ensure this has been completely removed.
Bamboo can fall in to two categories (based on the root growth pattern):
1. Clumping Bamboo – tends to grow to be thicker and, should you wish for it to be removed, the entire root ball would need to be removed. We recommend excavating this type of bamboo carefully to ensure this has been completely removed.
2. Running Bamboo – Running bamboo has a root pattern that spreads out widely and is more likely to cause structrual damage to anything located in the surrounding area. The roots from this bamboo are also more likely to cross boundaries. To remove this, we would recommend a more thorough excavation or chemical treatment to eradicate the plant entirely.
