Dealing with Bamboo in Kent?
Bamboo might seem like a harmless garden feature, but in Kent, it's become a widespread issue. From Gravesend to Folkestone, we've seen running bamboo crack through paving, cross property lines, and even trigger legal disputes between neighbours.
Our Kent-based specialists identify, treat, and remove both running and clumping species of bamboo. Every job comes with a clear management plan and the option of long-term guarantees

Our Process for Bamboo Removal in Kent
1. Identification and Site Assessment
Different species require different removal strategies. We’ll:
- Identify the bamboo type (running or clumping)
- Trace the rhizome spread
- Flag risks to walls, pipes, and neighbouring land
We offer both photo-based and on-site surveys.
2. Bamboo Management Plan
You’ll receive a fixed-quote plan that includes:
- Site photos and mapped spread
- Recommended removal approach
- Timeline and risk factors
- Lender-friendly documentation, if needed
3. Removal and Eradication
Our approach depends on species and severity:
- Running bamboo: excavation, rhizome tracing, and barrier installation
- Clumping bamboo: full root ball removal and deep soil screening
- Optional soil sifting to catch rhizome fragments
- Root barrier systems to prevent regrowth
All work complies with PCA best practice and is carried out by trained technicians.
4. Long-Term Guarantee
We offer 5- and 10-year guarantees. If bamboo reappears, we’ll return to resolve it.
We’re recognised by the PCA (Property Care Association) and are members of their Invasive Weed Group (IWG), as well as being RICS approved, TrustMark accredited and SafeContractor verified. We also have a long and successful track record of supporting Kent homeowners with all their bamboo removal needs.
Why Bamboo Removal Is Crucial in Kent
We’ve seen bamboo cause serious disruption in:
- Garden boundaries in Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells
- Driveways and patios in Dartford and Whitstable
- Developing sites in Ashford, especially where bamboo was previously cut back rather than removed
Kent’s mix of clay soil and high rainfall accelerates underground rhizome growth. A single missed fragment can spread metres in a matter of weeks.
Why You Shouldn’t Delay
Boundary disputes are rising: We’ve seen cases escalate to legal action when bamboo crosses fences and causes property damage.
It spreads fast and deep: Running bamboo travels underground and can break through concrete. The longer it’s left, the more extensive (and expensive) the removal becomes.
Many removals fail due to poor technique: We’re often called in after failed jobs from general landscapers. Only specialists can guarantee proper excavation and monitoring.
