Japanese Knotweed removal in Manchester

We were called out to help with a Japanese Knotweed infestation at a small developer site in Manchester. The developer contacted us and one of our survey experts visited the property in Manchester to confirm the presence of Japanese Knotweed and to determine the best possible removal plan.

The area in question had persistently suffered not just from an infestation of Japanese Knotweed, but also of Giant Hogweed, Himalayan Balsam and other invasive weeds. Working together with the customer and the local council in Manchester, we came up with an innovative solution to the problem which would allow for the removal of the Japanese Knotweed and ensure the development plans were approved.

The solution we agreed upon to remove the Japanese Knotweed, Himalayan Balsam and Giant Hogweed involved a mixture of hand pulling, herbicide spraying, root barriers, and excavation and burial on site to safely and securely dispose of the roots and any remaining rhizomes.
