Seattle Bamboo Removal Service: Remove Invasive Bamboo for Good with Lee’s

Lee’s General Landscaping offers expert bamboo removal in Seattle—eliminating invasive roots and restoring your yard, guaranteed.

Bamboo Removal Service in Seattle: Get Rid of Invasive Bamboo for Good

Bamboo might look tropical and elegant at first—but if it’s not contained, it’ll take over your yard, your neighbor’s yard, and even the sidewalk. Fast-growing and notoriously hard to remove, invasive bamboo is one of the most persistent landscaping problems in Seattle.

At Lee’s General Landscaping, we specialize in bamboo removal services that go beyond surface-level trimming. We dig deep—literally—to stop the spread, remove the roots, and reclaim your landscape. Whether it’s a small patch or a full backyard invasion, we’ve got the tools and experience to handle it.

Identifying the Problem in Seattle

In Seattle’s moist soil and mild climate, bamboo spreads like wildfire—especially running bamboo types like Phyllostachys aurea. Once it establishes, it:

  • Sends underground rhizomes into fences, garden beds, even driveways
  • Pops up dozens of shoots in unwanted areas
  • Harms nearby plants by choking roots and stealing water
  • Damages patios, foundations, or retaining walls
  • Creates fire hazards in dry seasons with dense, brittle growth

And here’s the kicker: mowing it down won’t help. It’ll just come back stronger if you don’t remove it properly—roots and all.

Why Choose Lee’s General Landscaping?

At Lee’s, we don’t believe in half-solutions. Our bamboo removal service is thorough, efficient, and tailored to your yard’s unique conditions.

Here’s how we approach it:

  • On-Site Inspection – We assess the species, root spread, and structural impact. We’ll walk the property with you and locate bamboo rhizome zones.
  • Scope Definition – You’ll get a detailed quote outlining what we’ll remove, how deep we’ll dig, and what to expect afterward.
  • Site Prep – We protect your lawn, beds, and hardscapes before any excavation begins.
  • Commercial-Grade Equipment – Our trenching tools, root cutters, and disposal equipment are built to tackle tough bamboo systems.
  • Thorough Clean-Up – After the job, we remove all debris, smooth the soil, and haul everything off your property.

Key Benefits of Our Service

  • Total Root Removal – We don’t just chop bamboo; we excavate the rhizome system to stop regrowth.
  • Prevent Spread – Our containment methods ensure bamboo doesn’t return or spread to neighboring properties.
  • Protect Property Value – Removing bamboo protects foundations, fences, and irrigation lines from damage.
  • Improve Landscape Health – With bamboo gone, native plants, shrubs, and trees can finally thrive again.
  • Save Time and Money – DIY bamboo removal takes months. We handle it in days—with long-lasting results.

Our Proven Best Practices

We’ve seen every kind of bamboo situation—from tight city lots to hillside takeovers—and we’ve developed methods that work:

  • Root barrier options to prevent future growth
  • Follow-up visits for particularly aggressive patches
  • Optional replanting with native grasses or privacy hedges
  • Eco-safe herbicide treatments, only when necessary, to finish the job

We even offer ongoing monitoring for homeowners who want peace of mind that the bamboo stays gone for good.
