  • Lenders will often refuse to lend money to people who want to buy a building that has Japanese knotweed growing on it.
  • Knotweed can grow so large and fast that it obstructs visibility and access to structures, such as paths, highways, and building facades. Knotweed can also be bothersome for commercial properties because it crowds out desirable crops.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL Telford

— JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN Telford

FOLIAR SPRAYING *

The most common treatment for Japanese Knotweed is the spraying of powerful chemicals with a knapsack. We make sure that other plants aren’t damaged. The best time to spray Japanese Knotweed is in the spring.

FOLIAR LEAF WIPING * 

With this Japanese knotweed treatment, we use a device to ‘physically wipe’ our chemicals onto the Japanese knotweed leaves. Because this use is so exact, we can often utilise a larger concentration of chemical.

STEM INJECTION 

We inject a small amount of herbicide straight into the invasive weed. Because it is injected directly into the Japanese Knotweed, this is the most devious way of elimination. It isn’t affected by the weather.

BIOMASS REDUCTION

Biomass is a sort of excavation and removal, but instead of excavating all of the soil affected by Japanese Knotweed, we simply remove the afflicted portions. It is an effective method of Japanese Knotweed control that allows for the reuse of the soil. minimising landfill usage.

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-true methodology used on hundreds of sites throughout 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 a licenced 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 used elsewhere, usually in soft landscaping areas, where they won’t be in the way of building.

This can significantly reduce landfill and backfill costs while also helping to reduce the carbon footprint on site due to fewer vehicle movements to the landfill. 

BIOSECURITY SUPERVISION

We could send a biosecurity operative to monitor any excavations or movement of Japanese knotweed-containing soil on your property.

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

We may provide temporary geotextile barriers in situations where biosecurity is necessary.

We will present the client with a comprehensive biosecurity report once the service is concluded.

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

Commercial Japanese Knotweed Excavation

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.

Japanese Knotweed Cell Burial

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.
