WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL Lancaster

As different infestations of Japanese Knotweed vary from property to property, it is not surprising that treatment and control will too. A single method of removal or a combination of methods may be required to get rid of the plant.

We take a scientific approach to weed control. Our weed specialists examine a site’s specific factors to determine the type of treatments that will give the best results. We guarantee all our work.

FOLIAR SPRAYING *

The most common treatment for Japanese Knotweed is the spraying of powerful chemicals with a knapsack. We make sure that other plants aren’t damaged. The best time to spray Japanese Knotweed is in the spring.

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 inject the invasive weed with a small dose of herbicide. This is the most cunning elimination technique since it involves injecting chemicals right into the Japanese knotweed. It is not affected by 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

A tried-and-true technique utilised on hundreds of sites throughout the UK.

The rhizome material of Japanese knotweed is isolated from the soil material by means of screening. The Japanese knotweed debris is subsequently transferred to a licenced landfill at a substantially reduced disposal rate, or it is burnt on-site with an exemption D6 from the Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales.

The cleansed soils can then be reapplied elsewhere, typically in soft landscaping areas where they will not interfere with construction.

This can greatly minimise landfill and backfill expenses while also reducing the site’s carbon footprint due to fewer trips to the dump by vehicle.

BIOSECURITY SUPERVISION

Knotweed Services can provide a biosecurity operative to supervise any excavations and movement of soils containing Japanese knotweed on site.

As part of these measures, we can provide a biosecurity boot wash and machine-washing area installed in an area at the entrance to the site.
We will provide all toolbox talks for the main contractor on site, which will be signed by all contractors involved in the operation on site.

We can provide temporary geotextile barriers if required in areas to maintain the biosecurity on site.

Once the works have been completed, we will provide the client with a full biosecurity report.

This method can be used in conjunction with other treatment methods on site.

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.
