WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE KNOTWEED solutions in Gloucestershire
In Gloucestershire, from Cheltenham to Gloucester and beyond, many property owners are grappling with the challenging issue of Japanese knotweed. Known for its rapid growth and the ability to reach up to 5 metres in height, Japanese Knotweed poses significant threats. Its robust root system can lead to substantial damages to building foundations, pavements, and even roads. Its aggressive growth and easy propagation render it a daunting task to manage.
At Knotweed Services (UK) Ltd., we lean heavily on our scientific expertise in tackling Japanese Knotweed problems. We pride ourselves on our decade-long experience in mastering the challenges that come with Japanese Knotweed, having provided solutions throughout Gloucestershire and beyond.
Our Gloucestershire team has honed several effective techniques, achieving successful removal of Japanese Knotweed. These methods range from manual root excavation to applying specialized herbicides to eliminate the plant in its entirety. In partnership with you, we’ll diagnose your situation and devise the most successful strategy tailored to the specific needs of your property.
FOLIAR SPRAYING
This method stands as our most frequently employed strategy. Harnessing the power of a convenient backpack sprayer, we administer potent treatments with precision. Our approach ensures both the safety and preservation of your surrounding flora in Gloucestershire. Ideal timing for the Japanese knotweed targeted spraying falls within the rejuvenating spring season.
FOLIAR LEAF WIPING
In this particular method of Japanese knotweed remediation, we utilise a specialised device to accurately “apply” our solution directly onto the leaves of Japanese knotweed. Given the precision of this application, we tend to employ a higher concentration of the chemical constituents, ensuring efficacy and control.
STEM INJECTION
A specific dose of pesticide is meticulously inserted into the invasive weed itself. Given the direct application into the Japanese Knotweed, this technique shines as the most sophisticated method of eradication. Remarkably, its effectiveness remains undeterred by the weather conditions.
BIOMASS REDUCTION
Biomass represents a streamlined excavation and eradication process, focusing solely on the removal of Japanese Knotweed-contaminated soil instead of extracting the entire soil in Gloucestershire. This highly effective Japanese Knotweed treatment method enables the repurposing of the recovered soil and contributes to a reduced reliance on landfills. Rely on Knotweed Services (UK) Ltd, a PCA-certified company with a steadfast commitment to industry standards and a proven track record in providing tailored solutions to tackle this invasive plant effectively and professionally.
CROWN REMOVAL
It’s critical to understand that both the crown and stems of this pervasive weed hold the potential for regrowth. Even tiny fragments of severed crown or stem may spur the growth of a fresh invasive menace in Gloucestershire. Thorough removal of these particular portions can effectively mitigate the Japanese Knotweed problem. Complete eradication of Fallopia Japonica roots is an integral part of this process.
COMMERCIAL REMOVAL.
A 5-year (herbicide) management plan is not an option if you intend to develop or build on Japanese Knotweed-infested land. This is typically owing to time constraints imposed by planners and construction workers, as well as resource availability and financial schedules.
The Environment Agency further suggests that, in cases of development, the entire rhizome of Japanese Knotweed be removed from the soil for total eradication; this is particularly necessary when the earth is likely to be disturbed during the construction, constructing, and expansion of homes/industrial and commercial units, as well as landscaping of grounds.
Knotweed Services (UK) Ltd offers skilled services and solutions that are customised to the expectations and needs of each client. Our friendly and helpful team is available to answer questions and provide information and support.
We will walk you through the process from the start, identifying the present use of the land, future
development plans, time-scales, schedules and find out if planning applications have been made or approved (if planning has been approved, we’ll ask you for copies to assist in the treatment plan) and give advice on the most cost-effective ways to deal with the problem, based on your project needs.
Images, measurements, and specifics on the site or project will be recorded. For instance, access points for plant equipment, routes for disposal vehicles, potential bund areas, as well as a Risk Assessment of the site and any potential hazards, will be documented. When selecting the most cost-effective and suitable management plan for the site or project, the surveyor will also consider local rivers, neighbouring properties, and site plans.
The results of the site survey, a recommended work plan, and an estimate are then compiled into a report for the client’s consideration.
For all of our projects, Knotweed Services (UK) Ltd will provide both machinery and professional personnel. All of our technicians and operatives are trained and directly employed by our organisation. We will directly regulate and supervise every work, ensuring that all regulations are carefully adhered to and no cross-contamination happens. Alternatively, if you provide your own equipment, we can supervise the project on your behalf.
NO ONE JOB IS EVER THE SAME AS ANOTHER.
In reality most eradication programs are a combination of treatments.
— COMMERCIAL TREATMENT OPTIONS
SOIL SCREENING
Methodology utilised on thousands of UK sites.
Japanese knotweed rhizome is separated from soil by screening. The Japanese knotweed is either transported to an authorised landfill at a reduced disposal cost, or it is burned on-site in accordance with an Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales D6 exemption.
The sanitised soils can be used for soft landscaping.
This can save landfill and backfill costs, as well as a site’s carbon impact, because fewer trips to the landfill will be required.
BIOSECURITY SUPERVISION
Knotweed Services may provide a biosecurity specialist to supervise the excavation of Japanese knotweed.
We can install a boot- and machine-washing station for biosecurity at the entrance of the site.
All contractors will sign a toolbox talk for the site’s principal contractor.
We can install temporary geotextile barriers in places with high biosecurity risks.
After the work is completed, we will send a report on biosecurity.
This method is applicable to on-site treatments.
EXCAVATION AND DISPOSAL
This treatment method is appropriate when time is of the essence and Japanese Knotweed and contaminated soil must be transferred to a permitted landfill.
By promptly eliminating all traces of the infestation, building can commence very quickly. No method of Japanese Knotweed removal or treatment is quicker or more effective at destroying its rhizome system.
A licenced waste hauler transports all off-site rubbish to an authorised landfill, including the root system of invasive plant species!
CELL BURIAL
Moving Knotweed-contaminated soil from one site location to another and burying it in a trench enclosed with a root barrier membrane is cell burial.
Japanese Knotweed burial requirements:
- The Environment Agency proposes a 2-meter-deep burial chamber.
- The grave should be 5 metres deep.
- All root barrier seams are welded together to construct a cell Japanese Knotweed can’t escape. Backfill with clean soil.
- To minimise inadvertent disturbance of the burial site, all site designs should include its position.
STOCKPILE & TREAT
Bundling transfers contaminated Japanese Knotweed soil to a distinct site location. A bund is a zone of polluted soil that is typically 0.5 metres deep.
The bund can be raised or sunk to blend in with its surroundings.
Japanese Knotweed is transported on bunds to vacant land. This enables therapy where it was previously impossible.
HERBICIDE APPLICATION
Knotweed Services may offer customised treatment plans based on the location of Japanese knotweed.
These methods are compatible with treatments that restrict pedestrian access, such as embankments or existing paths.
This covers up to three visits each year for the application of herbicide via foliar spray or stem injection over the course of three years, followed by two years of monitoring.
We would select herbicides based on the surrounding vegetation or environment.
After each visit, a comprehensive treatment record containing photographs of the patient’s progress and an annual report are provided. This remedy is most effective during the growth season.
