WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL Shropshire

Although Japanese knotweed infestations vary considerably from property to property, it’s common for homeowners to seek multiple methods of knotweed removal, treatment, and control.

We survey your knotweed problem and use the most effective methods for each growth stage, which allows us to deliver high-quality results that will produce a long-term solution. Our methods go beyond chemical treatments to identify root problems and prevent any future occurrences.

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 * 

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 

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

With biomass, we simply remove the soil that is infested rather than excavating the entire area that has been affected by Japanese knotweed. The soil may be reused, and it is a great way to reduce Japanese knotweed. 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 utilised on hundreds of sites across the UK.

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

The cleaned soils can subsequently be used elsewhere, typically in soft landscaping areas where they will not interfere with construction.

This can greatly cut landfill and backfill expenses while also helping to minimise the carbon impact on site due to fewer truck travels 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.

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.
