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 *
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 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
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 renewing, and even small fragments of clipped crown or stem are capable of regenerating and producing a new invasive weed – eliminating them is a wonderful method.

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
To keep an eye on any digging or shifting of soil containing Japanese knotweed on your property, we can send a biosecurity worker.
We can set up a location where individuals can wash their boots and equipment at the site entry as a part of these precautions. We will supply the primary contractor with all toolbox discussions, which will be signed by all other contractors involved in the operation on site.
In locations where biosecurity is essential, we are able to offer temporary geotextile barriers.
After the service is over, we will deliver a thorough biosecurity report to the client.
This technique can be used in conjunction with other on-site therapeutic strategies.
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 bund can either be raised, on top of the ground, or placed within an excavation to make the surface flush with the surrounding area.
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.
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.
