That skid steer and excavator are a iconic duo lol
They work very well together!
You are 100% right about bamboo. (Of course you are, you know your onions.) My goddaughter in France and her husband were bedeviled by it. The previous owners planted it as a ground cover of all things. They called in their landscape contractor, who told them mulching is only a temporary solution. To effectively rid themselves of it, he said, they had to have it dug up by the roots, as you did in the video. I loved your update on the Fecon mulcher and the ASV. You’re always open and honest with us, which I greatly appreciate. One other thing, I liked you doing the pole saw duties and leaving Willie in the Bobcat. It’s too easy for a boss to make the employee do all the donkey work while he sits in relative comfort in the machine, so bless you for that. I think it’s just another reason why you inspire such loyalty with the Three Amigos.
Total transformation,sure homeowner was quite happy with the results.plus to me,made his yard look quite open and bigger in size.you and willie killed it.carry on and keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Hey you and letsdig18 need to do a collaboration out on his new land you could get a lot of views and maybe new viewers cause what you could do in one day will take him a month with his little Mulcher just something to think about if you got time 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😉
From someone in the bamboo field alot...
Great job removing that patch....
Two things...
Where you move that bamboo WILL grow new bamboo especially if you feed it and tuck it in closer to water.
the other...
You need DIG DOWN 2-3 FEET on the border of yer neighbor(where it seems to have come from) and put in BAMBOO PLASTIC BARRIER or it will come back sooner than later.
Looks great.
Good advice, but if I had to guess, Jon was operating within the limitations of the customer's request/instructions.
I love the way you guys work together
We had some bamboo in an alley in our neighborhood. Back in elementary school, we called it the bamboo forest and would frequently have bamboo sword fights.
Great job y’all! Upstate Brush Control Crew rides again!!!
Tough , tedious work . Another great job guys.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow getting rid of that Bamboo is a job!.. Be nice if ASV would let you demo the new 135 on one of your mulching jobs. Looking good as usual! Hope to see a video showing the job completed..Be safe!💪🏼
I can not Lie, Half of the Time I have to Watch the video a Second time because I fall asleep from the Working Noise, just put's me too Sleep 💤😴. I know it's Funny, but just the Truth. Did it on this one 😂🕜 Old Age is Creeping Up on Me , 52 next month
Glad you enjoyed it! ;)
Oh my gosh David I am 65 an wide awake. You were so funny thx for the 😃 😀
@@lynetteeckert9991 Glad i gave you a Good Laugh this Afternoon. Have a Blessed Day, And Have A Great Day Tomorrow Also.
Thanks for sharing this. Now we know what we’re in for. 2 companies in this state offer these services that I’ve found!
Glad it was helpful!
Great job guys.... 👍
Certainly cleaned up a mess ! I guess bamboo has its place, but not in any ones yard. Nice job. Be well.
sorry I must be an idiot but haven't you just moved the issue to the hill?? I'm pretty sure that bamboo roots that were thrown over the hill are going to regrow or is it just me being an idiot?
Most likely it will regrow if any roots are left that's why you have to dig them out cause they are more invasive than just about anything but grass lol
So satisfying watching that root mat get taken up! lol
It really is!
Aren't those roots you pushed down the slope, going to grow back in their new location? No?
Won’t the bamboo resprout where you throw the roots down the hill?
Yep!
Oh 100% that's Japanese knotweed that will spread even further
Two teams! Thats the way to knock it out! 😄
Really looked nice
...THATS A LOT OF CHOPSTICKS...LOL..GOOD JOB, KEEP SAFE...
Awesome job
This the “A” Team Greenville!
I do enjoy watching the program but best of all the sound of the the machinery is the best white noise sound for napping. I watch your show religiously and that boy up there in New York state Andrew but lately all he wants to do is mess around with recreational vehicles. Which is okay not the same sleeping music I'm looking for. Lol
Ha! Glad we can help with that!
Bamboo is so invasive and people just don't understand it lol
What a pain great job.
Impressive amount of handwork from the clients on this job. I hate bamboo.
Wild grapes are (I suspect) a close second to bamboo as far as being a royal PITA to either get rid of or even to control. My backyard is infested with grapevines from the previous owner so I probably need to get the entire topsoil stripped and replaced.
At least if the bamboo tries to come back the homeowner has a good chance of keeping on top of it . 👍👍🇬🇧
I use dry bamboo as fire starter it’s as good as lighter pine
? On cleaning up the yard of bamboo. Did you use a skid steer or mini ex to dig those big root system out? Having similar problems.
whats rong with the track on the ASV 120F it sounds like its damged some how
Looks great as usual. How is your relationship with Fecon?
It's good!
Hey John would have been quicker just to use the little bulldozer with the root blade on it then use the mini with the bucket to move the roots away just wondering what's your comment on that
Job well done what a mess
Get rid of bamboo? Tactical nukes! Of course the neighborhood won’t survive but maybe the bamboo won’t either and that was the objective… always be careful when defining objectives! I had enough trouble getting rid of boysenberries along the back of my yard, bamboo would be much worse.

Says it all as far as I'm concerned!!
It’s no wonder bamboo grows so well here that rich red volcanic soil will grow anything.
I can't believe you don't have a brush cutter for the front of that mini excavator
Bamboo and Wisteria a great Greatur and not to root up. All little Roots bring new Plants. A Sisyphean task the little to hold. 😵🥵😱👿
Trumpet vine will drive you nuts. It comes up everywhere and nothing kills it. Absolutely nothing.
What is worse bamboo or wisteria?
@@TheJackPrice been trying to rid our yard of that!!
Wisteria
you need a mulcher go depht like 40cm on the ground so you mulch all baby bamboo
But that not getting rid of if you throw it down the hill any turn over the other will rot and make soil to remove it is to grind it and put deep in a hole
👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Using the skid steer and bucket too pull up the roots won’t the muncher go that deep
Why don't they make a wood chipper to fit on that loader and just chip it up and use as a mulch
The absolute best way is to pave the area with about 4” of concrete,lol
Some say it grows right up through the concrete.
That's how you get rid of bamboo! Bring in the RT-120!
Works every time.
The skid steer does not have enough ass to get the roots of the bamboo out and it just comes right back
Are you not pushing the problem to a different part of the yard?
Should use the excavator to remove the root mat of bamboo be loads easier and quicker 🤔
Hi buddy
What's up?
@@UpstateBrushControl
Not mutch enyoing you video
I have so much bamboo I feel like I live in China, but I got an estimate of 3000.00 for removal and that is out of my means so I guess it is hand saw time.
How did that go?
Tordon RTU , stump killer. A liquid herbicide applied by droplets directly to the cut stalks. Specifically designed for plants with heavy woody stems. Prevents regrowth and kills the roots. Also works on bushes and small trees / saplings. Used correctly will not harm adjacent plants, Not a spray. Apply directly to the stump. Once the plant has died you can cut the stump flush to the soil and the roots will rot in place straight away.
Best way to get rid of Bamboo is move somewhere else.
Ha! It's a pain to deal with, that's for sure!
Just get ducks. Your bamboo will die out.
For real? Wait…my sis has ducks and geese but she still has bamboo!
@@kathleenholcombestevens5391 Maybe it is a tropical thing, ,they ate all of the bamboo from here!~
She’s in Oregon…on the Columbia River.
Japanese knotweed grows from rhyzomes which means every single piece of mulch they just made can turn into a brand new plant. We deal with it on our farm. You have to pull it with an excavator truck it out and either burn it or dispose of it at an approved drop off place. Read about Japanese knotweed and how invasive it is. Not making this stuff up.
put the translation
Thanks for the suggestion
I love my bamboo and I thought it is easy to manage. I just bush hog it if it grows past its area
Bamboo almost as bad as Wisteria & Kudzu
Cut it to the ground and cover it up with black plastic
Can you please recommend any videos on this black plastic process for a long hedge row of bamboo?
Sounds like the owner fucked up with that kind of bamboo. There are 2 kinds. One clumps up and grows together. The Second that he seemed to have is running bamboo.
I would rather keep the Bamboo. But, there is different Types of Bamboo.
Runner Bamboo which will spread out and if not managed and controlled can get away from people and spread alot( Runner Bamboo is better for when dont have Neighbors around and Big lot and really Do not mind letting it grow as is.
Then there is Clumper Bamboo. a mature grove of clumping bamboo will be at least 3 or 4 feet in diameter, and could grow to 15 or 20 feet wide. Some varieties of clumping bamboo grow faster and spread larger than others. Clumper Bamboo is easier to Maintain and Easier to Control when you do have Neighbors around and a smaller Lot.
I've been trying to get it to grow in my yard. It's expensive.
bamboo devalues your property a average of 10%. bamboo can destroy your homes foundation. dont ever plant either variety.
Amen, brother.
Folks, don't let anyone tell you that clumping bamboo is "safe" to plant because it won't spread. It sure as heck will spread, it's just a slower and more predictable process than you get with runner bamboo.
My wife and I bought a nice little house 20 years ago and in the back yard was a patch of 50-foot tall clumping bamboo that was put in by a previous owner many years before (probably the species _Bambusa oldhamii_ though I'm not sure.) Most of the stalks were between 2.5 and 3 inches in diameter at the base. The whole patch ran along a fence and was maybe 20 feet long and 6 or 8 feet wide when we moved in.
It looked nice, provided a windbreak and the birds liked it. But year after year, new shoots came up around the edge of the patch and when I cut them the patch responded by sending up new shoots a little further out. This process went on and on, and eventually the shoots were coming up within a few feet of our house. Meanwhile, our next door neighbor was getting tired of the bamboo in her yard, which was part of the same patch and had grown under her fence.
In early 2020 the neighbor and I agreed it was time to get rid of the patch. The neighbor hired professionals, I was not able to make the investment so I did the job myself, by hand.
I was out of work in 2020 so I spent several hours a day cutting down the stalks, then sawing them into shorter sections and trimming off the secondary branches and chopping _those_ to regulation size so that the yard-trash collection people would take them. That process took most of the year. Used a pruning saw, loppers and pruning shears.
Then in early 2021 I started the more difficult part -- digging and cutting out the stumps and root systems. Used a reciprocating saw and a trenching shovel. Shortly after that I got a new job, which of course reduced the time I had available for bamboo removal, but I kept at it and finally, FINALLY finished the entire project about a week ago. (The neighbor was very patient with me and timed things so that she started and finished her removal project at about the same time I did.)
Altogether I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours to eliminate one modest-size back yard bamboo patch and clear the soil so that we could put in a vegetable garden. Also spent hundreds of dollars on a reciprocating saw, blades, trash bags, Gatorade, tipping fees when I brought debris to the landfill, and fill dirt to level out the depression in the yard where the patch was. The saving grace is, clumping bamboo can't regenerate from small root fragments -- the only vestige left in the ground at this point -- so I'm confident the patch won't be growing back.
My advice to anyone who's even considering bamboo as a landscape plant -- not just no, but HELL NO.
How do you kill it? How do you prevent it from hitting your foundation?
This video hurts my feelings. You are destoying god's vegetation. There are panda bears starving in China that could use those plants. Shame on you.
I have about 2 acres of it that you are totally welcome to harvest and ship over there. But you HAVE TO take it all. Including the roots. Deal?
🤣😂
@justinwatch Bless your widdle heart.
May the bluebird of happiness send a PETA protest to each and everyone of your front doors. 🤣
