How Does Japanese Knotweed Spread

Lenders often refuse to lend against a building with Japanese Knotweed in the foundation.
Knotweed clogs roads and other pathways, obstructing traffic and access to buildings and other structures. The dense root systems of this invasive plant make it a major hassle for commercial property owners.

FOLIAR SPRAYING *

The most common treatment for Japanese knotweed is the spraying of powerful chemicals with a knapsack sprayer. We ensure that other plants are not damaged. The most effective time for foliar spraying to Japanese knotweed is in spring.

FOLIAR LEAF WIPING *

We use a device to ‘physically wipe’ our chemicals onto the Japanese knotweed leaves in this Japanese knotweed treatment. Because this use is so exact, we can frequently use a higher concentration of chemical.

STEM INJECTION

We inject a precise dose of herbicide directly into the invasive weed. This is the most devious way of elimination because it is injected straight into the Japanese Knotweed. It is not affected by the weather.

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 regeneration, and even minute fragments of clipped crown or stem are capable of regeneration and producing a new invasive weed — eliminating these components is a wonderful technique.

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 can provide a biosecurity operative to monitor any excavations or movement of Japanese knotweed-containing soil on your property.

As part of these measures, we can set up a place at the entrance to the site where people can wash their boots and machines. 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 in areas where biosecurity is required.

Once the work has 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

Bundling is a technique used to move contaminated Japanese Knotweed soil to another portion of the site that is being treated. A bund is a small, often 0.5m-deep region of contaminated soil.

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.

The Japanese Knotweed will be relocated to a less-used region of the site thanks to the bund. When compared to where the Japanese knotweed was first found, this “buys time” for treatment.

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.
