Bamboo is also an ideal option for environmentally conscious homeowners. Though it's technically a grass, bamboo is actually harder than many types of wood. And unlike wood, bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource and matures in around six years vs. 60 years for traditional wood.
Trendy and earth-friendly, eco-chic bamboo is also long-lasting, very durable and stands up well to water and traffic. It comes in a variety of sizes, colors, stains and textures.
Better still, harvesting bamboo does not kill it. When bamboo shoots are cut, the roots are left intact so new shoots can grow, and quickly.
