If it is coming into your garden below fence level, either you or they need to sink a strong barrier well below soil level to block it from doing that, I would have thought.


It is a different issue from overhanging branches (which yes, you can just cut off on your side) and I doubt a tree surgeon would be the right person to deal with it.


An experienced gardener might be able to help, or if you know someone who is a member of the RHS, ask them to contact the RHS for advice.


Or try googling?


ETA: When I say well below soil level, I mean the bottom of the barrier should be well below soil level. But I have no idea if the bamboo could still get through somehow.


Some types are extremely invasive and it's better to plant them in a buried container of some kind (and even then they can break out of the container!)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
