300 Bamboo Planted as a Living Fence –Casa Cavu
"Blind" bamboo is a cost effective way to establish a healthy natural boundary or border and provides good ground stability. 270 bamboo plants were planted to create a wall along the northern border of the Casa Cavu jungle property in Dominical, Costa Rica, and 30 more were used to border one of the main walking trails. This bamboo will grow approximately 4m tall and will not spread, making it great for use in tight spaces and around water features. Its blind characteristic allows you to see light through the branches while still providing adequate privacy and a good natural alternative to a fence.
Design & Build
300 bamboo plants were order from a local bamboo farm months in advance of the delivery date.
Francisco, property manager and horticulturalist, couldn’t be more excited to receive the bamboo plants.
A complex natural fertilizer has been prepared to fill in the holes during planting to ensure the bamboo plants have a healthy and rapid growth.
30 bamboo plants were used to border one of the main walking trails.
270 bamboo plants were planted to create a wall blind along the northern border of the property. This will create privacy from neighbors and as a sound barrier to the main road at the top of the mountain.
Mature bamboo is already being used as a blind to separate the shipping container / cabina from the road.
