Identification

The first step to dealing with any invasive weed problem is to identify the species. Often, problem invasive weeds such as Japanese Knotweed and be confused with other plants. We are able to offer friendly tips on identification. Sometimes identification can be made through photographs (although this does not guarantee the absence of invasive weeds at any site). We are able to provide detailed site surveys and reports to satisfy your legal requirements , for example, when selling a property which is at risk of containing Japanese Knotweed.

Management Plan

Any Japanese Knotweed treatment we carry out begins with a site survey and management plan. The Management plan will assess the risk your Japanese Knotweed poses to your land or property and set out treatment schedule tailored to get the best results in your situation. The management plan will assess any risks to non target vegetation, wildlife or water courses that could be affected by chemical treatment. Our management plans typically cover a period from 5 to 10 years with the option to purchase additional guarantee cover.

Chemical Treatment

Chemical treatment an effective way to manage Japanese Knotweed and other invasive weeds as part of a management plan. We apply herbicides through spraying, leaf wiping or stem injection. we apply out expert knowledge in herbicide products and ecology to treat the plant at the optimal stage in its life cycle to maximise the impact of the treatment without risking desirable vegetation, wildlife or water course contamination. We are able to apply for necessary licences from the Environment Agency to treat your invasive weeds close to river banks or water corses.
