Bamboo #679176

Asked January 17, 2021, 12:58 PM EST

How can I stop the bamboo from my neighbor from invading my Critical Bay property. I cannot mow nor use chemicals. It’s getting close to my property and Frog Mortar creek.

Baltimore County Maryland

Expert Response

If you are in the critical area, you may want to contact your county for the best way to proceed. Here are some links https://dnr.maryland.gov/criticalarea/Pages/default.aspx

Here is more information and there are no easy answers. Perhaps you can talk to your neighbor about the situation regarding possible removal or restricting the spread (installing barriers and cutting back.) Here is a short video on the subject https://youtu.be/Qf7S80itdso

For barriers you would have to contact local landscape companies that deal with bamboo and/or removal. We do not know if there are any regulations in your county or homeowners assn. You can check above.
