Hi there, I am trying to keep a large stand of bamboo from further encroaching into my yard. The bamboo colony is fairly large and is on my property and two adjoining properties (See Attached). I have talked with a few landscapers, and each has proposed a different approach to remediating the bamboo. The first approach is to simply install a rhizome barrier around the existing mature bamboo, and then to mow or knock down any new growth that appears on the wrong side of the rhizome barrier (i.e., in my yard). The second approach is to install a rhizome barrier around the existing mature bamboo, and to also dig up and remove all of the rhizomes/roots on the wrong side of the rhizome bamboo barrier. The third approach is to cut down and remove all of the existing mature bamboo on my property, use stump grinders to destroy as much of the root as possible (albeit without any additional excavation), and then to install a rhizome barrier at the property line to cut off my yard from the bamboo colony on the neighboring properties. Do any of these approaches have merit? What is the best way to keep the bamboo from spreading? Thanks!
