1. Non-Invasive vs. Invasive Bamboo
Bamboo can be classified in two groups, running (invasive) and clumping (non-invasive). We exclusively sell non-invasive clumping bamboo tested for the North Florida climate.

Do you like people looking into your house?
Bamboo planted every 3-8ft will produce a tremendous privacy screen.
5. Local Ordinances
When it comes to building privacy fences there is generally restrictions (height) along with permitting and fees. A bamboo privacy screen has none of these regulations and can be trimmed at your desired height. Bamboo privacy screens are visually stunning and don’t have repair costs like a traditional privacy fence.

8. Focal Points
Bamboo is also a great focal point, college campuses like UNF have it in their garden for the relaxation it provides students. A bamboo focal point in place of palm trees looks incredible and will set your home/business apart.
We specialize in focal point installations, when necessary, using HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) root barrier to create and maintain a desired clump formation and prevent against the bamboo spreading outside the desired area.
