Japanese Knotweed Fylde all – What You Need to Know

Japanese Knotweed creates many problems for house owners and commercial properties. The plant makes it difficult to get a loan on or sell a property, which impacts both buyers and sellers.

If you own a commercial building or property, and Japanese knotweed is present, your project may be delayed until your infestation is being dealt with correctly and legally.

Knotweed, How Toxic Can it be to Your Life?

Japanese knotweed can grow through asphalt and concrete, which poses a threat to your building or property.
Lenders often refuse mortgage loan requests if Japanese knotweed is found on the property.
Knotweed can obscure both visibility and access to roads, paths, and other infrastructure. For commercial properties in particular, the weed produces a major annoyance.

Knotweed Services excels in the complete elimination of knotweed and that means no infected fragments or roots will remain. We also offer a guarantee covering future re-infection and any spread of new growth on your property.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL Fylde

As Japanese knotweed infestations vary considerably from property to property, it’s not surprising that approaches to treating and controlling the weed will too. It may be necessary to use one method or a combination of different approaches.

Japanese knotweed is a complicated problem, but our specialists are trained to treat it effectively. They must consider many factors in determining the best ways of removing it. An insurance-backed guarantee is available for all of our work.

— JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN Fylde

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, we use a device to ‘physically wipe’ our chemicals onto the Japanese knotweed leaves. Because this use is so exact, we can often utilise a larger 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

Removing the crown and stem from the equation is an excellent method since they can regenerate, and even small pieces of chopped crown or stem can regenerate and become a new invasive weed.

SOIL SCREENING

A tried and tested methodology used on hundreds of sites across the UK.

Using the screening method, the Japanese knotweed rhizome material is separated from the soil material. The Japanese knotweed material is then either transported to licensed landfill at a much lower disposal rate or incinerated on site using a D6 exemption from the Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales.

The cleaned soils can then be reused in locations away from any construction, normally in soft landscaping areas.

This can reduce the landfill & backfill requirement costs significantly and can also help to reduce the carbon footprint on site due to reduced vehicle movements to landfill.

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.
