Seattle Bamboo Removal
Pricing: Starting around $150-$250, depending on area size, depth, and access.
Bamboo might look nice when it’s under control—but once it gets into the ground, it can take over fast. Running bamboo sends roots under fences, lawns, and even into your neighbor’s yard.
At Neat & Tidy Landscaping, we take out bamboo the right way. We don’t just chop the stalks—we dig out the rhizomes, haul the waste, and can install root barriers to stop it from coming back. We do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
Why You Should Remove Bamboo
- Spreads Fast – Shoots can pop up 20+ feet away from where it started.
- Tough to Kill – Thick underground roots (rhizomes) keep it alive.
- Wrecks Landscapes – Pushes through lawns, beds, and retaining walls.
- Crosses Boundaries – Invades fences and neighboring properties.
- Comes Back Without Removal – Cutting stalks isn’t enough—it regrows from roots.
Our Step-by-Step Bamboo Removal Process
- Inspect & Mark Out – We trace how far the bamboo has spread.
- Cut & Clear – Remove above-ground stalks to expose root zones.
- Dig & Extract – Pull out rhizomes by hand or with machinery.
- Barrier Installation (Optional) – We install a 24–30” HDPE root barrier to stop regrowth.
- Haul & Dispose – All stalks, roots, and debris are taken off-site.
- Restore & Finish – We regrade and can top off with mulch, gravel, or soil.

Common Questions
How do I know if it’s running or clumping bamboo?
If you’re seeing shoots several feet away from the main patch, it’s running bamboo—and it spreads underground fast.
Can it grow back?
If we get all the rhizomes out and install a barrier, no. But if any roots are left, it will return.
Do you use machines?
For large or deep patches, yes. We bring in light equipment when access allows.
Can you install a bamboo barrier?
Yes, we install 24–30” HDPE barriers to keep roots contained.
