I visited a landscape designer's backyard in San Jose, Calif., that had lots of timber bamboo, 4-6 inches diameter and over 30 ft. high, maybe taller (I didn't know the variety). Much taller than the one-story bungalow (+ the front porch was 8-12 ft. above ground level, so more like a story and a half). They were spaced far enough apart so you could easily walk through in any direction without feeling they were in the way, but close enough to provide shade.
His website shows some bamboo photos, but I don't see any photos of the backyard timber bamboo I recall wandering through. The water features are in the front yard. It's a tiny house and a small garden, with oversize blocks of stone and ornament. I also don't see the outdoor kitchen, with the huge gas-powered wok, in those photos.
