Knotweed, How Toxic Can it be to Your Life?
- Japanese knotweed can grow through tarmac and concrete, posing a threat to the structure of buildings and properties.
- Mortgage lenders generally will not lend on a building that has Japanese Knotweed on the premises.
Knotweed produces massive annoyance that obstructs visibility and access to paths, highways and other infrastructure. It is a particular nuisance for commercial properties.
Knotweed Services offers its customers in Scarborough a guarantee against re-infection and the spread of knotweed.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL Scarborough
Because Japanese knotweed infestations vary so greatly, different treatments and control methods may be required.
As this is nature we are dealing with, our Japanese Knotweed specialists factor in all considerations when choosing the method of treatment. An Insurance backed guarantee is available.

FOLIAR SPRAYING *
The most common treatment is the spraying of powerful chemicals with a knapsack. We ensure that other plants are not damaged. The most effective time for foliar spraying is in Spring.
FOLIAR LEAF WIPING *
We use a device to ‘physically wipe’ our chemicals onto the Japanese knotweed leaves in this Japanese knotweed treatment. Because this use is so exact, we can frequently use a higher concentration of chemical.
STEM INJECTION
We inject the invasive weed with a small dose of herbicide. This is the most cunning elimination technique since it involves injecting chemicals right into the Japanese knotweed. It is not affected by the weather.
BIOMASS REDUCTION
Biomass is a form of excavation and removal but instead of extracting all of the soil impacted by Japanese Knotweed, we only remove the infested parts of the soil. It’s an excellent Japanese Knotweed control method that allows the reuse of the soil. Reducing the use of landfill.
CROWN REMOVAL
Crown and stems are capable of regenerating and even small fragments of cut crown or stem are capable of regenerating and becoming a new invasive weed – removing these from the equation is a great strategy.

SOIL SCREENING
A tried and tested methodology used on hundreds of sites across the UK.
Using the screening method, the Japanese knotweed rhizome material is separated from the soil material. The Japanese knotweed material is then either transported to licensed landfill at a much lower disposal rate or incinerated on site using a D6 exemption from the Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales.
The cleaned soils can then be reused in locations away from any construction, normally in soft landscaping areas.
This can reduce the landfill & backfill requirement costs significantly and can also help to reduce the carbon footprint on site due to reduced vehicle movements to landfill.
BIOSECURITY SUPERVISION
We could send a biosecurity specialist to your site to keep an eye on any soil movements or excavations that can disturb Japanese knotweed.
We can set up a location at the site entry where individuals can wash their boots and equipment as part of these precautions. All toolbox discussions, which will be signed by all on-site contractors involved in the operation, will be provided to the principal contractor by us.
Where biosecurity is required, we may offer ad hoc geotextile barriers.
We will deliver a thorough biosecurity report to the client after the task is finished.
This approach can be utilised in conjunction with several on-site therapy approaches.
EXCAVATION AND DISPOSAL
This treatment method is ideal where time constraints are present and there’s no other option other than to remove both the Japanese Knotweed and contaminated soil to a registered landfill.
By removing all traces of the infestation quickly, this offers a rapid solution to your problem and allows your commercial project to begin groundwork’s almost straight away. When time is of the essence, there is no quicker Japanese Knotweed removal/treatment method.
Any waste taken off-site will be done so with a licensed waste carrier to a suitably authorised landfill site.
CELL BURIAL
Cell burial comprises of moving Knotweed contaminated soil from one location on site, burying it in an excavated pit which is lined with a root barrier membrane, in a different position on the site.
The burial requirements for Japanese Knotweed are as follows:
- The Environment Agency recommends that the top of the burial cell should be a minimum of 2 metres below ground level.
- The overall depth of the burial pit should be in excess of 5 metres deep. All root barrier seams are welded together forming an encapsulated cell from which the Japanese Knotweed cannot escape. Clean soil is then used to backfill on top of the cell.
- To prevent accidental disturbance of the burial site, it is recorded on all site plans and future land owners should be made aware of the location.
STOCKPILE & TREAT
Bundling is a technique used to move contaminated Japanese Knotweed soil to another portion of the site that is being treated. A bund is a small, often 0.5m-deep region of contaminated soil.
For the surface of the bund to be flush with the surroundings, it can be raised, placed on top of the ground, or positioned inside an excavation.
The Japanese Knotweed will be relocated to a less-used region of the site thanks to the bund. When compared to where the Japanese knotweed was first found, this “buys time” for treatment.
HERBICIDE APPLICATION
At Knotweed Services we can provide the client with bespoke treatment plans depending on the locations of the Japanese knotweed.
These plans can work in conjunction with other methods of treatment where access is limited to pedestrian movements i.e., embankments or existing pathways within a site.
This will normally consist of up to 3 visits per annum to apply herbicide by either foliar spray technique or stem injection during the growing season over a period of 3 years, with a monitoring period of 2 years thereafter.
We would select the appropriate herbicides depending on the surrounding foliage or environmental constraints.
After each visit a full treatment record would be provided with photos showing the progress of the works and then an annual report.
