We got a call from a client who bought a large plot of land in Wirksworth. However, the entire plot of land was covered by Japanese Knotweed. As a result, he wanted us to carry out a survey upon the land, to assess the situation. But also to ensure what was the best treatment method for Japanese Knotweed removal in Wirksworth.

Within 24 hours we were at Wirksworth and carried out the site survey of the Japanese Knotweed. A survey in part, includes a sight plan, age of stands, if the Knotweed has caused any damage, how the Knotweed got to the site and where it originated from.

Our client then decided to opt for a management plan, this included a breakdown of costs involved for the remedial works, risk assessment, a detailed breakdown of the course of treatment we are to take, our 10-year company guarantee plus a cost breakdown.

For this particular job it was decided that the best treatment option was to spray and inject the Japanese Knotweed with a translocating herbicide. This not only kills the top foliage of the plants but also the roots. By carry out this Japanese Knotweed removal in Wirksworth, we were able to eradicate the Knotweed enabling the land to be developed.
