Everything You Need to Know About Japanese Knotweed Control in Stafford

As Japanese knotweed infestations differ from property to property, it’s not surprising that treatment and control methods will too. It may be necessary to use one method of Japanese knotweed removal, treatment and control or a combination of different knotweed removal methods.

Since Japanese knotweed is a natural phenomenon, our experts will consider site-specific factors when making treatment decisions. An insurance-backed guarantee is available.

— JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN Stafford

FOLIAR SPRAYING *

The most commonly used method of treating Japanese knotweed is with herbicide. This is done by spraying the plant with a knapsack sprayer in early spring.

FOLIAR LEAF WIPING *

With this Japanese knotweed treatment we employ a device to ‘physically wipe’ our chemicals onto the Japanese Knotweed leaves. This application is so precise that we can often use a higher concentration of chemical.

STEM INJECTION

We inject a small quantity of herbicide right into the invasive weed. This is the most cunning elimination technique since Japanese Knotweed is directly injected with the substance. It is not reliant on the climate.

BIOMASS REDUCTION

Biomass is a type of excavation and removal, but instead of extracting all of the Japanese Knotweed-affected soil, we simply remove the afflicted soil. It is an outstanding Japanese Knotweed control strategy that enables for soil reuse. Reducing landfill usage.

CROWN REMOVAL

Crown and stems can regenerate, and even small bits of chopped crown or stem can regenerate and become a new invasive weed; eliminating these from the equation is a fantastic method.

Not in Stafford? No problem – we’re available throughout EDIT THIS TAL and the UK.

SOIL SCREENING

A tried-and-true strategy utilised on hundreds of sites across the United Kingdom.

Using screening, the rhizome material of Japanese knotweed is removed from the soil material. The Japanese knotweed material is then either transferred to a licenced landfill at a significantly reduced disposal rate or burnt on-site with an Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales D6 exemption.

The cleansed soils can then be reused elsewhere, typically in soft landscaping areas where they will not interfere with construction.

This can greatly minimise landfill and backfill expenses and assist lower the site’s carbon footprint by reducing the number of vehicle trips to the dump.

BIOSECURITY SUPERVISION

We can send a biosecurity operator to your property to monitor any excavations or movement of Japanese knotweed-containing soil.

As part of these steps, we can set up a location near the site’s entrance where people can wash their boots and machines. We will supply the primary contractor on site with all toolbox discussions, which will be signed by all contractors involved in the operation.

In situations where biosecurity is necessary, we may provide temporary geotextile barriers.

We will supply the client with a thorough biosecurity report once the service is concluded.

This procedure can be used in conjunction with other on-site treatment methods.

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

Bunding is the method of relocating contaminated Japanese Knotweed soil to a different area of the site being treated. A bund is a shallow area of the contaminated soil, typically 0.5m deep.

The purpose of the bund is to move the Japanese Knotweed to an area of the site that is not used. This ‘buys time’ for treatment that would not be possible where the Japanese Knotweed was originally located.

To make the surface flush with the surroundings, the bund can either be lifted, placed on top of the land, or positioned inside an excavation.

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.

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.
