WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL Gosport
Because the size of Japanese Knotweed infestations can vary so widely, it’s not surprising that different methods of Japanese Knotweed removal may be needed. Sometimes one method is sufficient; other times, combinations of methods are best.
As wild plants tend to be unpredictable, our weed control specialists assess a site’s specific factors to determine the type of treatments that will give the best results. We guarantee all our work.
— JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN Gosport
FOLIAR SPRAYING *
The most common treatment for Knotweed is to spray it with powerful chemicals from a backpack. We ensure that other plants are not damaged in the process. The most effective time to spray for Knotweed is in early 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
A measured amount of herbicide is applied directly to the invading plant. This is the most ingenious way of elimination because the herbicide is injected straight into the Japanese Knotweed. Not dependant on weather conditions.
BIOMASS REDUCTION
Biomass is a type of excavation and removal, but instead of taking out all of the soil, we only take out the parts of the soil that are infected. It’s a great way to get rid of Japanese Knotweed because the soil can be used again. Using landfills less often.
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
An effective technique utilised on hundreds of locations around the UK
The Japanese knotweed rhizome material is removed from the soil material using the screening procedure. The Japanese knotweed waste is then either burned on site with a D6 exemption from the Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales, or it is transferred to a licenced landfill at a far reduced disposal rate.
After being cleaned, the soils can be used elsewhere, typically in soft landscaping areas where they won’t obstruct construction.
Due to fewer truck travels to the landfill, this can dramatically save landfill and backfill expenses while also assisting in lowering the carbon impact on the property.
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
Japanese knotweed-contaminated soil can be moved to another portion of the site being treated using a technique called bunding. A bund is a patch of polluted soil that is only a few metres deep.
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.
The bund’s function is to relocate the Japanese knotweed to an inactive portion of the land. The Japanese knotweed may now be treated, which would not have been possible in its original location.
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.
