Invasive Plants
We help clients identify, manage and treat invasive plant species – reducing legal, environmental, programme and cost risks across development, infrastructure and regeneration sites.
Invasive plants can create legal obligations, environmental constraints, programme delays and additional costs. Early identification and management can prevent disruption later in the project lifecycle.
Our team provides practical advice and treatment solutions to help clients manage invasive plant risks safely, responsibly and effectively.
Our Japanese Knotweed services
Management Plan
Our bespoke management plans are designed to meet planning conditions related to invasive plants, including Japanese Knotweed. These tailored plans provide a clear, adaptable approach to effectively address and manage any level of infestation.
Read moreHerbicide Treatment
Foliage Spraying: Specialist herbicide is applied directly to the plant’s foliage using advanced equipment for effective absorption and control.
Stem Injection: A targeted approach where the plant’s stem is injected with a specialised herbicide to reach the root system directly.
Dig, Sift, and Burial
Infested soil is carefully sifted on-site to separate and either bury invasive roots securely or remove them to a licensed landfill. The cleaned topsoil is then available for reuse on-site. To prevent regrowth, we implement a four-year herbicide spraying program or install a root barrier for long-term control.
Read moreBurial
Where space permits, Japanese knotweed is safely relocated and buried on-site, covered with a durable root barrier to prevent regrowth. A layer of clean subsoil or topsoil is then added to ensure lasting protection against re-infestation.
Read moreExcavation
Japanese Knotweed is carefully excavated, followed by the best management option for your site: off-site removal, on-site sifting and burial, or secure on-site burial.
Read moreDig and Dump
Soil infested with Japanese Knotweed is carefully excavated and then transported by licensed carriers directly to a registered landfill, ensuring safe and compliant disposal.
