FOLIAR SPRAYING *
Spraying of powerful chemicals with a knapsack is the most common treatment for Japanese knotweed. We ensure that other plants are not damaged when spraying, and we spray only in springtime.
FOLIAR LEAF WIPING *
With this Japanese knotweed treatment, we use a device to “physically wipe” our chemicals onto the leaves of the Japanese knotweed. Due to the precision of this application, we can frequently employ a greater chemical concentration.
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 regenerating and even small fragments of cut crown or stem are capable of regenerating and becoming a new invasive weed – removing these from the equation is a great strategy.

SOIL SCREENING
A tried-and-true system that has been utilised on hundreds of sites across the UK.
The Japanese knotweed rhizome material is removed from the soil material using the screening procedure. The Japanese knotweed debris is then either transferred to a licenced landfill at a substantially reduced disposal rate or burnt on site using an Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales D6 exemption.
The cleaned soils can subsequently be used elsewhere, mainly in soft landscaping areas where they will not interfere with construction.
Due to fewer vehicle transfers to the landfill, this can greatly minimise landfill and backfill expenses while also helping to reduce the carbon footprint on site.
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
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.
