Japanese Knotweed Growing in Chester – Its Impact and Control
Japanese knotweed is one of the most aggressive plants in the UK. It spreads quickly and has the potential to damage buildings, homes, and other property. At Knotweed Services, we conduct detailed surveys to detect how invasive your Japanese knotweed is. We provide detailed quotes and plans, giving you an accurate assessment of the situation and recommendations for any necessary action.
If Japanese knotweed is growing on your commercial property, you may have to wait until it is removed before starting any new construction.
Here's how Japanese Knotweed can affect your life
- Knotweed can grow through asphalt and concrete, which poses a threat to the foundation of your home or building.
- In some instances mortgage lenders will not lend on a property that has been affected by Japanese Knotweed.
- Knotweed can grow so large and fast that it obstructs visibility and access to structures, such as paths, highways, and building facades. Knotweed can also be bothersome for commercial properties because it crowds out desirable crops.
For customers in Chester with Japanese knotweed, we should be your very first call. We’ll always ensure that the knotweed is removed in its entirety and our warranty guarantees against re-infection and knotweed colonosation.

— JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN Chester
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 Japanese knotweed treatment, our chemicals are “physically wiped” into the leaves of the Japanese knotweed using a device. This application is so accurate that we can frequently employ a greater chemical concentration.
STEM INJECTION
We inject the invasive weed with a small dose of herbicide. This is the most cunning elimination technique since it involves injecting chemicals right into the Japanese knotweed. It is not affected by the weather.
BIOMASS REDUCTION
Biomass is a type of excavation and removal, however instead of extracting all of the soil impacted by Japanese Knotweed, we simply remove the afflicted areas of the soil. It’s an outstanding Japanese Knotweed control approach that enables for soil reuse. Reducing the use of landfill.
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
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
We could send a biosecurity operative to monitor any excavations or movement of Japanese knotweed-containing soil on your property.
As part of these steps, we can set up a location at the site’s entry where people can wash their boots and machines. We will offer all toolbox discussions for the primary contractor on site, which will be signed by all contractors involved in the operation on site.
We may provide temporary geotextile barriers in situations where biosecurity is necessary.
We will present the client with a comprehensive biosecurity report once the service is concluded.
This procedure can be used in conjunction with other on-site treatment options.
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
Japanese knotweed-contaminated soil can be moved to another portion of the site being treated using a technique called bunding. A bund is a patch of polluted soil that is only a few metres deep.
To make the surface flush with the surroundings, the bund can either be lifted, placed on top of the land, or positioned inside an excavation.
The bund’s function is to relocate the Japanese knotweed to an inactive portion of the land. The Japanese knotweed may now be treated, which would not have been possible in its original location.
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.
