What Services Can You Expect From Japanese Knotweed Expert?
Site Survey and Report
We will visit and walk over the entire site, checking boundaries and, if possible, adjacent properties. We will visit all types of sites including; private property, brown field, commercial and industrial. To give an accurate quote for the eradication of Japanese knotweed or any invasive weed a site assessment and survey is required.
As part of the site survey report we will include:
- A site plan and photos – identifying where the Japanese knotweed or other invasive weed is situated.
- Inspection of the surrounding area.
- History of past treatments and current maintenance schedules.
- How development plans would affect the treatment.
- Risk assessments including biological, health & safety and financial
The cost for a site survey and report starts at £312.00 and the full report, including a Management Plan, will be received within 48 hours of the site visit.

- A detailed description of the control actions to be taken.
- An assessment of the risks associated with any control actions.

Treatment and Removal Options
There are usually four main treatment or removal methods when dealing with the Japanese knotweed:
Herbicide Treatment
This is our preferred method of dealing with the invasive weed. The best time for Japanese knotweed to be sprayed is late summer from flowering onwards.
Herbicide treatments are the most cost effective option, starting at £2,040.
Excavation and Removal
This is an ideal method of removing Japanese knotweed for individuals or companies that have time constraints and need to remove the Japanese knotweed within a short 
period of time.
The cost for an excavation and removal depends heavily upon the location and extent of the Japanese knotweed. Get in touch to discuss your requirements and get a quote.
Burying
Burial of Japanese knotweed is an ideal way of reducing the cost of excavation and removal from site, as you are keeping the contaminated waste on site.
Alternative Treatment Methods
Every client or sites requirements are individual and therefore sometimes a combination of herbicide, excavation and cultivation achieve the best results in the most cost effective manner.
