bamboo removal?
by Diane Averill 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Our next-door neighbor's bamboo has spread into our property and we are anxious to have it removed as soon as possible, before it goes any farther. Has anyone ever had this done, and if so, would you share your experience? I have googled "bamboo removal" and just get pages of those registries. We tried one that promised expert bamboo removal and they sent a guy who wasn't sure it was bamboo (it definitely is) and suggested just cutting it down three to four times a year. Cutting bamboo and leaving it just encourages root spread! We are now wondering if we should try a tree service or even an excavator, but first would like to know if anyone in the neighborhood has any advice for us. Thanks so much. Diane
