Want any of this handled for you?

Treat it or dig it out

There are two main ways to deal with knotweed. Treatment kills it off over a few seasons and suits sites with time. Digging it out is faster and suits land that needs to be built on soon.

We look at the site and your timescale, then recommend the right approach. Knotweed waste is controlled waste, so it has to be handled and disposed of properly.

Questions

Before you ask

How long does knotweed treatment take?

Usually a few growing seasons, with follow-up visits to make sure it does not come back. Digging it out is quicker if you need the land sooner.

Can I just cut it down?

No. Cutting can spread it, because small pieces of root and stem grow into new plants. It needs to be treated or removed properly.
