Bamboo Removal
Bamboo is a very invasive, destructive species. It has a fast growth rate and can rapidly spread beneath tarmac, patios, decking and paving. Root systems can even spread to neighbouring properties and in extreme cases, invade your home through weak bricks, mortar or drainage.Â
After establishing a solid root system, bamboo can be relentless and is best removed at the earliest opportunity. Rhizomes can often intersect with the roots of other shrubs and trees, which can cause further issues. Entangled tree roots may cause stability issues or a decline in tree health, meaning further costs down the line.Â
We excavate any plants that have been heavily impacted by the bamboo roots to fully remove the infestation and prevent further spread. Our professional team will thoroughly remove all signs of a bamboo infestation and treat any recurrences free of charge.Â

What are rhizomes?
Rhizomes play a crucial role in the spread and reproduction of bamboo plants. They are stems that grow horizontally underground, with the ability to produce buds that can grow new bamboo shoots. Rhizome systems makee complete bamboo extraction extremely difficult, as the new shoots can grow even when severed from the original plant.Â

FAQ about our removal services
Is bamboo hard to remove?
Bamboo is extremely difficult to remove without the appropriate industry equipment. Cutting down the stalk may be a temporary fix, but eventually, regrowth and spread will occur, risking damage to your property. Invasive root systems also make bamboo very durable and immune to herbicide treatments. Itâs best to consult an expert for bamboo infestation to protect your property and to prevent further spread beneath the ground.
How much do bamboo extraction services cost?
The cost of bamboo removal depends on the location, property access and the severity of the infestation. Arrange a free, no obligation site visit so that we can provide you with a quotation.
How do you control bamboo in your garden?
The best way to control bamboo infestation in your garden is to remove it, or avoid planting it in the first place – even âclumping bambooâ varieties can spread over time. In the worst case scenario, you can remove stray rhizomes to prevent further spread from the main plant. Pots and barriers often prove ineffective, as they are not strong enough to withstand the force of the root systems, and end up broken or damaged. Long story short, it may look wonderfully exotic, but planting bamboo can often be more trouble than itâs worth. If your bamboo has grown out of control, contact us to assist with extraction today.
Can bamboo roots grow through concrete?
When spreading, bamboo is strong enough to gradually push concrete out of place and grow through the cracks formed over time. This can cause more severe issues such as ground heave – which left untreated can lift your property and cause serious damage.
How will you leave the bamboo extraction site?
As standard, we will always level the area as best we can with the soil that is retained from removal. If preferred, we can refill the area with top spoil at an additional cost. We can also consult on substrate materials needed to flatten out the area for hard installations such as summer houses or patios. (We can advise on this but do not offer the service directly.)
