FOLIAR SPRAYING *
We spray an herbicide containing chemicals on Japanese Knotweed, using a knapsack sprayer. We ensure that other plants aren’t damaged by spraying only when the weather conditions are suitable for the chemicals to work effectively. The most effective time for foliar spraying to Japanese Knotweed is in 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
A measured amount of herbicide is applied directly to the invading plant. This is the most ingenious way of elimination because the herbicide is injected straight into the Japanese Knotweed. Not dependant on weather conditions.
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
Removing the crown and stem from the equation is an excellent method since they can regenerate, and even small pieces of chopped crown or stem can regenerate and become a new invasive weed.

SOIL SCREENING
A tried-and-true technique applied to hundreds of sites around the UK
The rhizome material from Japanese knotweed is removed from the soil material using the screening technique. After that, the Japanese knotweed waste is either moved to a permitted landfill at a significantly lower disposal rate or burned on the spot under a D6 exemption from the Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales.
In order to avoid getting in the way of construction, the cleansed soils can subsequently be utilised elsewhere, typically in soft landscaping areas.
Due to fewer truck travels to the landfill, this can greatly lower the costs associated with the landfill and the backfill. It can also assist minimise the carbon imprint on the property.
BIOSECURITY SUPERVISION
We could send a biosecurity specialist to your site to keep an eye on any soil movements or excavations that can disturb Japanese knotweed.
We can set up a location at the site entry where individuals can wash their boots and equipment as part of these precautions. All toolbox discussions, which will be signed by all on-site contractors involved in the operation, will be provided to the principal contractor by us.
Where biosecurity is required, we may offer ad hoc geotextile barriers.
We will deliver a thorough biosecurity report to the client after the task is finished.
This approach can be utilised in conjunction with several on-site therapy approaches.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
