- Knotweed can grow through asphalt and concrete, which poses a threat to the foundation of your home or building.
- Mortgage lenders generally will not lend on a building that has Japanese Knotweed on the premises.
- 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.

— JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN Rotherham
FOLIAR SPRAYING *
The most common treatment is the spraying of powerful chemicals with a knapsack. We ensure that other plants are not damaged. The most effective time for foliar spraying is in 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 sort of excavation and removal, but instead of excavating all of the soil affected by Japanese Knotweed, we simply remove the afflicted portions. It is an effective method of Japanese Knotweed control that allows for the reuse of the soil. minimising landfill usage.
CROWN REMOVAL
Crown and stems are capable of regeneration, and even minute fragments of clipped crown or stem are capable of regeneration and producing a new invasive weed — eliminating these components is a wonderful technique.

SOIL SCREENING
A tried-and-true technique utilised on hundreds of sites throughout the UK.
The rhizome material of Japanese knotweed is isolated from the soil material by means of screening. The Japanese knotweed debris is subsequently transferred to a licenced landfill at a substantially reduced disposal rate, or it is burnt on-site with an exemption D6 from the Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales.
The cleansed soils can then be reapplied elsewhere, typically in soft landscaping areas where they will not interfere with construction.
This can greatly minimise landfill and backfill expenses while also reducing the site’s carbon footprint due to fewer trips to the dump by vehicle.
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
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.
