Bamboo Removal Exeter
Bamboo is very often planted to provide a quick and easy way of providing privacy to overlooked gardens, with its oriental appearance it provides attractive screening, when combined with other garden features can make a wonderful area, however as it is very rarely planted in a completely secure way it is a disaster waiting to happen.
Bamboo is highly invasive and it is virtually guaranteed at some point to expand and become out of control, needing professional removal.
This property was a fairly recent development in the centre of Exeter, the town houses overlooking each others gardens.
Bamboo screening throughout the development seems to be common, perhaps planted by the developers when constructed, or possible just a copy cat measure from neighbours.
The grove was made up from around six originally planted “Clumping Bamboo plants”
The bamboo had done a great job, however no thought had been given to stop its spread. Rhizomes were starting to escape through the fence rearwards towards the adjacent property.
With the way clumping bamboo expands the raised bed had become one completely solid mass of woody rhizome with runners expanding the colonisation.
Whilst this was certainly not a large colonisation, the fact that this was in a raised walled bed and no access for machinery meant the removal was far from easy.
If you have bamboo in a similar setting we can certainly help.
