Why Bamboo Thrives in Suffolk County
Suffolk’s mix of sandy outwash soils on the South Shore and East End, as well as loamier, rolling ground on the North Shore gives running bamboo easy room to spread. Loose sand lets rhizomes travel fast and far. Many Suffolk neighborhoods were planted with bamboo as quick privacy screens in the 1980s and ’90s, and those stands have had decades to push under fences, lawns and driveways.
Large lots out east and wooded properties in the Pine Barrens region can hide bamboo spread until it’s well established. Suffolk homeowners often tell us the bamboo is only in one corner of the yard. By the time we probe the soil, the roots have usually traveled well past it.
CHECK THE CODE FOR YOUR ADDRESS
Suffolk County Was Among the First to Crack Down on Bamboo
Suffolk towns have been regulating bamboo for more than a decade. Smithtown led the way in 2011 with a law barring bamboo within 10 feet of any property line, street, sidewalk or public right-of-way. Brookhaven followed in 2012 by prohibiting new running bamboo plantings, and villages such as Lindenhurst now require owners to keep bamboo from migrating onto neighboring property.
Rules differ from one town and village to the next, so the first thing we do on a Suffolk job is check the code that applies to your address.
If you’ve received a violation, we can meet with town officials, complete the removal or containment, and give you a Compliance Report to submit so the violation can be cleared.
