If you're still trying to remove bamboo, we might be able to help you out in making a small dent in your acreage. I'd be willing to take 2-3 loads (uhaul size truck). We can be clean about it, would not leave a mess behind. You're local to us so it would not be out of our way. You can shoot me an email if you'd like at
If anyone else has problems with their overgrowth of bamboo, please feel free to email me. thanks!

Greetings all. A new property of my family's is covered by a massive
stand of running bamboo. The lot is six acres rectangular, where about
*one and a half* acres of the total acreage is covered by a very dense
stand of running bamboo. It is 350 feet long deep at its longest
dimension The plants have been there for decades, as the property was
allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. It is our intention to
restore the property, inside and out.

Options for removal I've seen generally target small areas. However
this is a much bigger problem! My first thought is to hire someone
with a bulldozer to come push it all down, and then put it all in a
commercial wood chipper. This could get expensive though. What else
can we do? What problems does my scenario present? Hiring a panda bear
would probably not go over well with the neighborhood.

The property is in Towson, Maryland.

Thank you in advance.
