UNDERSTAND WHAT’S UNDERGROUND
Bamboo Is More Than a Nuisance on Long Island
Most bamboo growing in Long Island yards is running bamboo, and running bamboo is grass on steroids. It spreads through underground stems called rhizomes that push sideways through the soil, sending up new shoots wherever they land. A small screen planted a decade ago can take over a backyard, cross into a neighbor’s lot, and crack patios, walkways, pool decks and driveways.
Cutting the canes to the ground doesn’t solve it. The rhizome network stays alive underground and keeps sending up new shoots. Bamboo is only gone when the root system is gone.
Why it matters to Long Island homeowners
Town ordinances.
Towns and villages across Nassau and Suffolk now regulate bamboo, and some require it to be kept back from property lines or removed entirely. Violations can bring fines.
Neighbor disputes.
Bamboo that spreads next door is one of the most common sources of property-line conflict we see.
Home value.
Buyers and inspectors increasingly flag bamboo as a red flag. It can mean a lower offer or a buyer who walks away.

Why Long Island Homeowners Choose Got Bamboo
Licensed & insured.
Serving Long Island since 2010.
One-year warranty, included.
If bamboo returns within a year of removal, we come back and remove it at no charge. The terms are written into your contract, so you know exactly what’s covered.
We remove the roots, not just the canes.
Our crews use excavators, skid steers, and hand labor to dig out the rhizome system, not mow it down and leave.
A barrier on every job.
Neighboring yards almost always have bamboo too, so every removal includes a root barrier. We don’t rely on anyone else’s installation to protect your yard.
We deal with the town for you.
Received a violation? We can meet with town officials and provide a Compliance Report you can submit to have the violation cleared.
We finish the job.
Removal is only step one. We regrade, hydroseed, replant, and install barriers so your yard looks better than before.
Real estate ready.
We prepare site analysis reports for buyers, sellers, and agents when bamboo is holding up a sale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about removal, regrowth, and your property.
Have another question? Call usIt depends on the size of the stand, how far the rhizomes have spread, and access for equipment. A small backyard screen costs far less than an established grove along a property line. We provide a free site analysis and a written estimate before any work begins.
Bamboo returns when rhizomes are left in the ground. We excavate the root system and back the work with a one-year warranty. If shoots appear within that year, we remove them at no cost.
We can remove the bamboo on your side and install a root barrier along the property line to stop it from coming back. If the town is involved, we can document the situation and work with officials.
No. Bamboo is our specialty, but we also offer land clearing, forestry mulching, hydroseeding, restoration planting, and environmental services such as wetland delineation and pond restoration.
