Bamboo Landscaping in Massachusetts

last year

Hi. I am considering purchasing a property off of the Massachusetts coast. There is a large area of the yard where the owner used bamboo. The owner I am told was in bad health the past few years and passed away. I know nothing about bamboo and am concerned I am walking into a disaster. It looks like it is confined and not taking over the yard. It is definitely overgrown and reaches the roofline of the two story house. See attached photos.


We would be fine with keeping it and having it cut back and landscaped (whatever that may mean for bamboo). I am thinking the local landscapers wouldn't have much knowledge about bamboo hence the reason for my post. If I do purchase the property I will need to bring in a landscaper to deal with it but wanted to get opinions from people who might be familiar with bamboo, thoughts about its use for yard landscaping and your thoughts as to whether I am going to have big problems if I buy this property. Thanks.
