Our Process for Removing Invasive Bamboo in Surrey
We understand that bamboo removal is not a one-size-fits-all process, and every infestation is unique. That’s why our removal method is personalized based on your Surrey property’s specific needs. Here’s our proven process:
Our bamboo removal services include:
- Removal on sites from 1m2 to over 1000m2
- Both commercial and residential removal by accredited experts
- Surveys to fully scope out the work required
- Sifting and screening for rhizomes
- 5- or 10-year guarantees available
1. Bamboo Photo Identification
The first step is to identify the bamboo type and extent of its spread. Upload a photo of the plant, and our team will confirm whether it’s bamboo, including invasive bamboo, so we can plan the best course of action.
2. Site Survey & Assessment
After confirming the presence of bamboo, we carry out a comprehensive survey of your Surrey property. We’ll assess the spread and potential impact of the bamboo and provide a detailed report and treatment plan.
3. Bespoke Management Plan & Guarantee
Following the survey, you’ll receive a personalized bamboo management plan that includes:
- A thorough risk assessment
- A transparent quote
- A tailored treatment timeline
All our plans comply with industry standards and come with a long-term guarantee. For added peace of mind, we offer optional insurance coverage.
4. Treatment & Eradication
Depending on the severity of the bamboo infestation, we’ll select the best approach for your Surrey property. Our methods include:
- Herbicide Treatment: Cutting the bamboo down and later injecting or spraying the stem with a herbicide to penetrate the roots.
- Excavation & Removal: Fully removing the root ball and rhizomes by digging them out. Mechanical assistance will be required for large infestations.
- Root Barrier Installation: Installing vertical barriers to block the spread of invasive bamboo, particularly for large properties.

Why Is Invasive Bamboo a Big Problem in Surrey?
Invasive bamboo is a persistent and troublesome plant that can be especially problematic in Surrey’s suburban and rural environments. The plant’s rhizomes can extend several meters underground, and a small fragment left behind can trigger a new infestation. Properties in areas like Guildford, Woking, and Farnham are especially vulnerable to bamboo taking over gardens, driveways, and surrounding areas.
If left untreated, bamboo can cause significant damage to foundations, walls, and utilities. For residential properties in Surrey, invasive bamboo removal is essential to maintain the health of your garden and avoid potential property damage.
Why You Shouldn’t Disregard Bamboo Infestations in Your Surrey Property
Ignoring bamboo can lead to lasting damage and costly repairs for both residential and commercial properties across Surrey. Here are the potential consequences of leaving invasive bamboo untreated:
1. Property Damage & Legal Risks
Invasive bamboo roots can cause structural damage to foundations, walls, and drainage systems. In Surrey, where homes and buildings are often in close proximity, this can result in expensive repairs and lower property value.
2. Infrastructure & Environmental Impact
Bamboo can spread rapidly, potentially damaging roads, pathways, and utility systems, particularly in urban areas. Invasive bamboo can also harm local ecosystems by overtaking native plants and disrupting biodiversity.
3. Increased Costs & Long-Term Stress
The longer you leave bamboo untreated, the more complex and expensive the removal process will be. Acting early can save you money and reduce the stress of dealing with a larger infestation.
