How to Get Rid of Knotweed
Japenese Knotweed has many negative impacts on the properties it infests. Mortgage lenders are usually unwilling to lend against homes that have an infestation. This impacts both buyers and re-mortgagees because these lenders will not lend against the property.
If you’re a commercial land or property owner and Japanese Knotweed is present, your project may end up being delayed until or whilst your infestation is being dealt with correctly and legally.
Japanese Knotweed: What it is and How to Deal With It
- The roots of Japanese knotweed can emerge through cracks in tarmac and concrete, which can contribute to structural problems.
- Lenders usually won’t give mortgages on houses where Japanese Knotweed is present.
- Knotweed grows so thickly as to block visibility and access to paths, highways, and other infrastructure. Knotweed is a particular nuisance for commercial properties.

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 directly administer a measured amount of herbicide to the invasive weed. Due to the injection directly into the Japanese Knotweed, this is the most ingenious elimination technique. 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 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
An effective technique utilised on hundreds of locations around the UK
The Japanese knotweed rhizome material is removed from the soil material using the screening procedure. The Japanese knotweed waste is then either burned on site with a D6 exemption from the Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales, or it is transferred to a licenced landfill at a far reduced disposal rate.
After being cleaned, the soils can be used elsewhere, typically in soft landscaping areas where they won’t obstruct construction.
Due to fewer truck travels to the landfill, this can dramatically save landfill and backfill expenses while also assisting in lowering the carbon impact on the property.
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.
