Japanese Knotweed Expert have been dealing with Bamboo removal in Birmingham for the last 25 years. Although Bamboo is a common garden plant, it is fast growing and has a distinctive look. As a result of the quick growth of bamboo and the pattern the roots grow in, it can cause damage to patios, fence lines, driveways and vegetation in both yours and your neighbours’ garden.
Japanese Knotweed Expert have been dealing with the removal of invasive weeds for over 25 years. Including bamboo removal in Birmingham and the surrounding area. Our recommendation is 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.
Our method of excavation and bamboo removal in Birmingham involves our team of professionals attending the property with the appropriate machinery and tools. Firstly, the bamboo would be cut to ground level and the canes would be disposed of off-site. Following this, all of the rhizomes from underground would be removed and disposed of off-site.
Once all of the bamboo has been removed from site, our team will level the ground with fresh material leaving it ready to be re-landscaped. **Please note any landscaping features affected by the removal works will not be reinstated by ourselves. This cost will be bore by the client**
Post excavation: we provide 4 follow up visits with herbicidal treatments included to ensure the long term removal. If any regrowth reoccurs after the excavation this will be chemically treated unless stated otherwise.
**Please note that the above is just an example of a typical excavation project. Every job is individual therefore your quote will be tailored to your requirements and those of the site.**
**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 the 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.
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.
