WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

If you’re planning to construct or expand on a land area infested by Japanese Knotweed, a 5-year herbicide plan won’t suffice. This mainly stems from the stringent timelines set by project managers and builders, aligned with available resources and budget structures.

According to the Environment Agency, for such development projects, complete removal of the Japanese Knotweed’s rhizome from the soil is a necessity for total elimination. This is especially crucial when the soil is anticipated to be disrupted during the construction or expansion of residential, commercial, or industrial units or extensive landscaping works.

Knotweed Services (UK) Ltd aims to provide expertise-driven, tailored solutions fitting your unique situation. Our supportive team is ready to offer you answers advise, and to guide you through the process right from the beginning, including the existing and future use of your land.

We’re a PCA-certified industry leader, committed to industry standards and customer satisfaction, which makes us your dependable choice for dealing with your Japanese Knotweed problem.

Our team will gain a comprehensive understanding of your development plans, timelines, and schedules, 

and investigate whether any planning applications are pending or approved – if there’s a green light, we’ll request the relevant documents to devise an effective treatment plan. We are committed to guiding you towards the most reasonable and viable solutions for managing Japanese Knotweed, tailored to your project’s specific requirements.

We will meticulously document the details of your project, capturing images, jotting down measurements, and noting specific site characteristics. Essential elements like access routes for machinery, disposal vehicle pathways, potential bund zones, as well as risk evaluations of the site to identify potential hazards, will be systematically documented. The management plan crafted will take into account local waterways, neighbouring premises, and detailed site blueprints.

Upon completion of the site survey, a suggested work agenda and a cost estimate will be consolidated into a comprehensive report. As a respected industry leader holding a PCA certification, we adhere to industry standards and are keen to ensure that this report provides a clear roadmap to handle your individual needs.

In every task undertaken, Knotweed Services (UK) Ltd guarantees the deployment of both expert staff and advanced equipment. Each member of our technical and operations team undergoes extensive training and operates under our direct employment. We oversee all tasks intimately to uphold strict regulations and to eliminate the potential for cross-contamination. If you choose to utilize your own machinery, we can offer our expert supervision to ensure the project progresses as desired.

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.

Commercial Japanese Knotweed Excavation

EXCAVATION AND DISPOSAL

When time is a critical factor, and it is imperative to relocate Japanese Knotweed and contaminated soil to an approved landfill, this treatment method is an ideal solution. As a PCA-certified industry leader, Knotweed Services (UK) Ltd understands the importance of addressing your pressing concerns swiftly.

Since Japanese Knotweed is eliminated so effectively by this technique, construction activities can proceed without delay.

We rely on licensed waste carriers who meticulously transport all waste material, including the root structure of intrusive plant species, to sanctioned landfills.

Japanese Knotweed Cell Burial

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.
