My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Sorry for the delayed response- the bamboo is a clumping variety called Bambusa eutuldoides viridi-vittata , Asian lemon bamboo. This variety is a clumper and you do not need to contain it, however, do allow an 8'by 10' area for its ultimate growth. Bamboo does require constant maintenance and you will need to do some research for the specific variety you choose. Once planted, it will become a beautiful focal point and add a stunning tropical accent.

      Appears to be Timber Bamboo ( Oldhamii) I'm just guessing.
    • 12 years ago
      It is gorgeous, but takes too much water with watering restrictions of once every 2 weeks.

      I'm assuming this is the genus Bambusa? Can you please tell me the species? Thanks!
    • 12 years ago
      I too would love to know the name of the bamboo and if it is a clumping species. BTW, it's a lovely landscape design!

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambusa_oldhamii , still guessing about the photo here.

      I thought so too but I would hope the landscapers wouldn't plant something that becomes so large ... there are a few others similar but not as large.

      Thank you. I thought it was but wasn't quite sure. I am growing B. textillis gracillis on my north side, about 110 linear feet, with up-lights. It performs well and is reasonable with water consumption. Looking for something else to fill some "pockets". Thanks again.

      How quickly does it grow?

      Depending on where you live, most clumping bamboos will take several years to get established, but once they do, they grow fast. They can be controlled however, by removing any new shoots as they come up.
