How much does bamboo removal cost?
The previous owners planted bamboo along the fence and it's now coming up in the middle of the lawn, and next door's too which is awkward. What does proper removal cost, and does it actually work or does it just come back?
Expert Trade Answers
"Hi Luke to remove the bamboo correctly you need to dig down at least 12inchs to remove the root network. Most cases a small digger is required"

"Hi Luke there are cheaper options but admittedly the best option is as Tiki suggests
1 Cut the stalks down and immediately pour a strong, systemic weedkiller (like concentrated glyphosate or triclopyr) onto the freshly exposed cuts.
2 Boiling Water (Small patches)
Dig a shallow trench around the root system and repeatedly pour boiling water over the exposed roots to cook them"
