Japanese Knotweed is quickly spreading across the area, can we help with Japanese Knotweed removal in Biddulph? What are your rights if Japanese Knotweed encroaches onto your land?

Although it is not illegal to have Japanese Knotweed growing on your land, it is illegal to allow it to spread, and if you can see your neighbour’s Japanese Knotweed slowly making its way over the garden fence they may be liable for the costs of not only eradication but also the devaluation of your property!

It is extremely difficult to sell your property if you have Japanese Knotweed present on the grounds, and so we would always recommend that you have a site survey carried out on the area to ensure that you have official documentation which may be used in a court of law. Following this, you may want to get a management plan in place to ensure that if you do get a potential home buyer, they will have a treatment plan in place which will make the wholesale of the home sail a lot smoother!

As a company, we have been carrying out Japanese Knotweed removal in Biddulph for many years. We have several treatment methods that can be used to effectively remove this invasive plant. The main treatment methods that can be carried out are:

• Herbicide Treatment
• Excavation and Removal
• Permanent Burial
• Combined Treatment Method
•  

These are all effective in Japanese Knotweed removal. However we find the most common method on private properties to be herbicide treatment, this can be applied either by spraying, injecting or a combination of both. This allows the herbicide to reach the top of the Japanese Knotweed but also the roots. Ensure complete eradication happen.
