Tree / landscaping recommendations... need 5 pines removed and plant bamboo - Covington

I'm assuming you understand clumping vs. spreading bamboo.

Bamboo is severely underrated. Not only is it very private but it blocks sound really well. The big bamboo suppliers in Louisiana all offer planting services. You might just have to have two companies do it.

I'd plant clumping bamboo in two rows offset from each other.

.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'

This pattern makes for a solid fence after a couple of years.

What bamboo are you going with?

Looking to do the same thing with Bamboo on the NS. What varietal did you decide to use? Following along for suggestions on that as well as someone who can plant it as well. Thanks!

Looking like Golden Goddess. Yes, there's a nursery in Franklinton that I talked to about it. 985-789-2584, Allen is his name.

Clumping bamboo, about 12' tall, which gives me 6' above my fence. Going to plant a 3 gallon bucket every 5 feet or so and it should have developed enough by year 2 to be above the fence and year 3 be full height he said.

Can they be dropped or do they need to be topped?

Top Quality for the the bamboo. They're great.

If you ever decide you want spreading bamboo, I'm on the northshore and have as much as you want to take i owe an arse kicking to whoever planted it

Pines in backyard around a home for $400 each. Does that sound good?

Meauxjeaux - did they end up planting it for you too? Can you give me a ballpark cost on what they charge for the plants plus labor?

I'm trying to block off line of sight to our home from people using the trace, and probably need a good bit. Just wondering what kind of cost to look for. Thanks!

We planted clumping bamboo ourselves. We bought 5 gallon pots and split them, planted about 5' apart and 2' off the fence. Too close to the fence and they are approx 25' tall. Requires cutting a few times a year to keep it from encroaching on our yard. Sounds like you have much more space to let them go than I do.
