The privacy problem
A taller fence needs a permit — and still looks like a wall. Lattice yellows and cracks by its second winter. Shade trees take a decade. Most "privacy" fixes are slow, ugly, or against the rules.
Why bamboo
Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on earth — an evergreen screen that fills in fast, stays green through winter, and looks like a destination instead of a barrier. Pick the right species for your climate and you get real privacy in a season or two, not ten years.
The fastest-growing privacy plant there is — a full screen in a season or two, not a decade.
Green all year. No bare winter sticks, no raking, no replacing cracked plastic.
10, 20, 40 feet and up — privacy at the height a fence can't legally reach.
Soft, rustling, alive. A screen the whole neighborhood stops to look at.
Only if you plant the wrong kind. Choose a clumping bamboo — it stays put, no barrier needed — or pair a running variety with a Bamboo Shield root barrier and you set the borders. The planner flags which is which.
The planner only shows species proven for your growing zone — and the mature height you'll actually reach there. We grow screens hardy from zone 5 on up.
We ship nursery-fresh nationwide. Larger, instant-impact sizes come by dedicated freight, delivered curbside — hand-dug so they arrive healthy and ready to plant.
Dig, drop, water. Every order ships with a spacing & planting guide, and our team helps you choose. Backed by our healthy-arrival guarantee.
That's exactly what the planner figures out — enter your footage and it spaces the run and gives you the quantity and total. As a rule, screening bamboo is planted 3–5 feet apart.
Most screens read as private by the second season and keep thickening from there. Warmth, water, and full sun speed it up; instant-impact sizes give you a head start.
Yes — the species we grow for screening hold their leaves year-round, so your privacy doesn't disappear in winter.
Clumping bamboo stays in a tidy clump (no barrier needed) but fills a long run more slowly. Running bamboo makes a fast, seamless screen and is kept in bounds with a Bamboo Shield barrier. The planner tells you which each option is.
True bamboo (the genera we grow) is listed as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses — one more reason it beats many hedge plants.
