Default Advice for Bamboo and Minimum Maintenance

Neighbour has just taken over house with small garden with over three years
of rampant *all over the garden* Bamboo growth to deal with. Has had the
garden cleared and the Bamboo all strimmed down.

He needs to create a garden with *minimum* maintenance. Obviously the
strimmed bamboo will just shoot up again. Will regular ongoing strimming
discourage it enough to kill it?

What would you recommend for an ongoing 'Minimum Maintenance' design of
garden in these circumstances? Thanks.
