Japanese knotweed in herefordshire

Cases of Japanese Knotweed are reported daily across the UK, and one such case was recently identified in Hertfordshire at the Nutshell caravan site. The invasive weed was observed on both sides of the road, with concerns that it might soon begin lifting the paving. Fortunately, in this instance, the matter was escalated to the local council for action.

However, Japanese Knotweed in Hertfordshire is becoming an increasingly serious issue. If you suspect Japanese Knotweed growing on your neighbour’s land or on council-owned property, it’s important to act promptly. While it is not a criminal offence to have Japanese Knotweed on your land, it is illegal to allow it to spread onto adjacent properties. Landowners have a legal responsibility to prevent its spread.

If Japanese Knotweed begins to encroach on your property, the responsible landowner must take action to manage and remove it. Due to the invasive and persistent nature of this plant, eradication should only be carried out by qualified and experienced Japanese Knotweed experts like ourselves.
