Bamboo landscaping.

[Account Closed]

Hi everyone, a newbie here.

I am looking at a SFH with bamboo landscaping in the backyard. It looks beautiful and shoots up to the second floor covering the master bedroom windows which provides a much needed privacy from the neighbors who's lot is very close by. However I've been doing research on it and it sounds like bamboo is actually a weed and can be I'm nightmare to deal with. Has anybody had any experience with bamboo? The house is located in Phoenix metro.

 I am worried that I will have to get rid of bamboo which is one of the most attractive features of this house. Besides according to my research it can be a pain to get rid of. I would appreciate any advice!
