Know Your Knotweed!
Japanese knotweed is one of the most damaging plants in the UK. Where it exists, the value of your property can drop by thousands – or even tens of thousands – of pounds. Wherever you are in the UK, we offer a free survey to discover whether you have knotweed on your property and how best to manage it.
If Japanese Knotweed is on your commercial land or property, projects on that land may be delayed until you deal with the infestation correctly and legally.
Here's how Japanese Knotweed can affect your life
- The roots of Japanese knotweed can emerge through cracks in tarmac and concrete, which can contribute to structural problems.
- Lenders often refuse mortgage loan requests if Japanese knotweed is found on the property.
- Knotweed grows out of control, blocking both visibility and access to paths, highways and other infrastructure—especially for commercial properties.
If you live in Falmouth and have knotweed, you should call Knotweed Services first. Our licensed specialists will remove the knotweed completely and guarantee that it will not return. We will also dispose of the removed plant material legally.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL Falmouth
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.
As knotweed is a living organism, our technicians are trained to consider all factors affecting the removal process. A dedicated team of experts are on hand to advise you.

FOLIAR SPRAYING *
Foliar spraying is the most common treatment for Japanese knotweed. We ensure that other plants aren’t damaged while treating Japanese knotweed, and perform foliar spraying in the springtime.
FOLIAR LEAF WIPING *
With this treatment for Japanese knotweed, we use a tool to “physically wipe” our chemicals onto the plant’s leaves. Because of the accuracy of this application, we frequently allow a higher chemical concentration.
STEM INJECTION
We apply a controlled amount of herbicide directly into the invasive weed. Due to being injected directly into the Japanese Knotweed, this is the most crafty method of removal. It isn’t dependent on the weather.
BIOMASS REDUCTION
Biomass is a sort of excavation and removal, but instead of removing all of the soil affected by Japanese Knotweed, we simply remove the afflicted portions. It is an effective strategy for controlling Japanese Knotweed that permits the reuse of the soil. Reducing the amount of waste dumped in landfills.
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.

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
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.
