Why Do You Need Professional Help?
Japanese knotweed can cause severe issues for commercial properties, including structural damage, legal complications, and project delays. Its rapid spread and resilience make it nearly impossible to control without expert intervention. DIY efforts often result in regrowth, leading to further disruptions and escalating costs.
Specialists employ effective, tailored methods such as excavation, root barriers, and herbicide treatments designed to eradicate knotweed safely and efficiently. They also provide the necessary documentation to meet legal requirements, ensuring your project progresses without unnecessary hurdles. Professional help safeguards your property and investments from the long-term risks posed by this invasive plant.

Commercial Japanese Knotweed Services
At Japanese Knotweed Specialists, we deliver targeted removal and treatment solutions tailored to the unique needs of commercial properties. Whether facing a small infestation or a site-wide issue delaying development, our services are designed to restore your site’s usability effectively and efficiently.
Our commercial solutions focus on two primary approaches:
Herbicide Treatment
Herbicide treatment provides long-term control of Japanese knotweed through targeted applications. However, this method is often unsuitable for commercial properties requiring immediate site usability, as the process typically spans 3 to 5 years.


Excavation
Excavation is the preferred method for commercial properties due to its efficiency and ability to render the site usable immediately. Depending on your project’s requirements, our excavation options include:
- Off-Site Removal: Knotweed is excavated and safely transported to licensed disposal facilities.
- On-Site Burial: Knotweed is excavated and buried elsewhere on-site, following strict containment protocols.
- Soil Sifting: Excavated soil is sifted to remove rhizomes, allowing it to be reused on-site.
- Cell Burial with Root Barriers: Knotweed is excavated and securely buried within a cell lined with a durable root barrier, preventing regrowth or rhizome spread.
Unsure which solution best suits your commercial property? Our experts will assess your site and recommend the most effective course of action, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and your project’s timeline.
