Bamboo Services
We consult with residential and commercial property owners as well as exotic gardens in the US and Europe. Free telephone and email consults, as well as fee-based on-site consults from $250.
A basic misunderstanding of the nature and habits of bamboo rhizomes has led many property owners to pay contractors for work that is not only unnecessary but expensive.
In addition, some of these practices — using barriers to stop bamboo rhizomes, cutting entire bamboo groves to the ground and poisoning the soil, or cutting the bamboo down and tarping it — will cause more problems and increase the cost of work that is absolutely required.
We perform consults for a variety of purposes: when someone is buying a home or property that includes bamboo, when the grove on their property begins to spread, when a neighbor's bamboo grows onto their property, or when bamboo on your property travels to your neighbor's.
"Our neighbor's bamboo has traveled under our fence from the neighboring property. We would like an estimate for removing the bamboo from our property and installing a barrier to prevent it from coming back."
Removing the bamboo from your property is a good idea, but placing a barrier on your side of the fenceline could lead to disaster.
Over time this becomes a problem that requires a new fence and far more work than was originally required to correct the situation.
In 2016 Seattle Bamboo launched a consulting business to advise property owners and exotic garden administrators in the greater Seattle area and throughout the world.
Costs of the consult range from $250, and we offer accurate information that will save you money by encouraging your contractor to resolve issues rather than exacerbating them.
