The Process
While our expertise in Japanese knotweed management is well known, we also specialise in identifying and managing other invasive species, such as bamboo, giant hogweed and Himalayan balsam.
If it's winter or the site has been previously treated or disturbed, we can arrange for a dog detection survey, utilising their keen sense of smell to easily detect knotweed.
After the survey is completed, we aim to deliver your report and Invasive Weed Management Plan within five working days, depending on the area inspected and the severity of the issue.
Our findings will include a map detailing the extent of the problem, highlighting the presence of knotweed, bamboo, or any other invasive species, as well as their intersection with neighbouring properties and other geographical factors.
The report will also contain a comprehensive Invasive Weed Management Plan which includes:
- Written report
- Detailed quote
- Complete information pack
- Recommended management plan for the invasive species identified during the survey
