Services
Every job starts the same way — a look at the stand and the property — and then splits into whichever path fits your budget, timeline, and how involved you want to be.
A site visit or call where I evaluate the stand and give you a clear plan: what method to use, roughly how long it will take, and the steps in order. You or your crew do the physical work.
I plan the job and stay involved as it progresses — directing the work, checking on regrowth, and adjusting the approach as the rhizome mat is uncovered.
I handle the entire job myself: cutting, treatment, rhizome excavation, and follow-up visits to confirm the stand doesn't return.
Method
Targeted chemical treatment applied to freshly cut canes, which pulls the herbicide down into the rhizome system. Usually the faster route to a stand that doesn't return, and often the better fit for larger or long-established groves.
Repeated cutting on a schedule that exhausts the plant's energy reserves, combined with rhizome barrier installation or excavation. Takes longer and more labor, but keeps the site free of any chemical treatment.
What a removal looks like
I walk the property, look at how far the stand has spread, check soil and drainage, and note anything nearby — fences, foundations, septic lines — that affects the plan.
We agree on advisory, oversight, or full removal, and on chemical or chemical-free treatment, along with a realistic timeline — most jobs run one to two growing seasons to fully finish.
Canes are cut back and cleared. If herbicide is part of the plan, it's applied to the cut culms at this stage.
Excavation or barrier installation to stop the underground root system from sending up new shoots beyond the cleared area.
Return visits over the following season to cut back any regrowth before it re-establishes, until the stand is fully gone.
