Planning and Design
Decades of design training and experience enhance our planning, from feng shui and traditional Japanese gardens, to a more traditional or English approach using the bamboo as a border or hedge.
Planting
Our love for bamboo and respect for the life energies it expresses, shows in the care and expertise we bring to the planting phase of your bamboo project.
Containment
Our containment methods are well thought out and involve a variety of traditional materials used in a unique way to create a durable, effective, and beautiful containment for your bamboo grove. Our favorite is the "pot in pot" method which gives you a source of income to maintain the grove, if you are able to afford a rare species to start with.
Watering troughs!
Concrete.
Plastic barrier, only if you want future problems! We will install plastic barrier, but ONLY if you agree to maintain the grove, or have us do it.
The berm method.
Container Planting
Yes, see above.
Staking
Yes, see above. Heavy rains, snow, wind, and other types of conditions can bring bamboo to the ground. Many people tie it up. We prefer to stake it and we have the tools and supplies. We also stake new plantings for a few months until the root system develops enough to support the plants.
Fertilizing
Pest Inspection
Thinning & Pruning
Bamboo Removal
When part or all of your grove has to be removed, the respect we have for bamboo encourages us to remove it and transplant it or pot it and save as much as possible. We have the tools, the energy, and the time and we often trade a portion of our service for healthy plants.
We give free estimates and give a firm bid for all these services.
We also provide fee based consultations where that is necessary.
We will also bid on clean up and removal of all debris, and can leave you with cleaned canes for any project you might need them for.
