Bellevue Bamboo Removal, Sales, Planting, Thinning, and Maintenance
Bamboo Thinning
One of the ways to "contain" bamboo is to keep it very happy where you want it. Thinning the grove allows for light to penetrate the canopy, enables new growth to sprout within the grove, and keeps mite and other pest problems to a minimum.
You can help make your grove happy and feed the Woodland Park Zoo elephants!
Bellevue Bamboo is providing the thinnings from Bellevue bamboo groves for the zoo's new elephant feeding program. The thinning of your grove can give it the space it needs to propagate without invading your and your neighbor's property.
All of your clean and pesticide free bamboo thinnings and prunings will be delivered to the zoo throughout this entire year.
Bamboo Removal
When a bamboo grove has escaped its barrier, it is usually time to either remove and replace it, or "renegotiate" your relationship with it. If bamboo is happy where it is, there are usually no problems. But once it has become unhappy and begins to try to escape, it is time to think about removing it. We have the tools, the brains, and the brawn to successfully remove problem groves, and we guarantee our work. If a new shoot emerges where we have dug, we remove it for free. Call us at 206.724.1977 for a detailed phone estimate, or we will come out and take a look at the issues you are having.
PLEASE NOTE: Overcrowded bamboo will WANT to escape, it will produce very leggy and unhealthy new shoots, and will not replace the old culms with fresh, healthy new growth. Overcrowded bamboo plantings will also create a "root bound" situation the size of the containment area, this is often a very huge problem with existing groves.
