- Japanese knotweed can grow through the surface of your property, including tarmac and concrete, which is damaging to houses and other structures.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL North Wingfield

— JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN North Wingfield
FOLIAR SPRAYING *
Spraying of powerful chemicals with a knapsack is the most common treatment for Japanese knotweed. We ensure that other plants are not damaged when spraying, and we spray only in springtime.
FOLIAR LEAF WIPING *
With this Japanese knotweed treatment, our chemicals are “physically wiped” into the leaves of the Japanese knotweed using a device. This application is so accurate that we can frequently employ a greater chemical concentration.
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 can regenerate, and even small bits of chopped crown or stem can regenerate and become a new invasive weed; removing these from the equation is a fantastic method.

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 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.
