Professional Japanese knotweed control and removal by local experts

What does Japanese knotweed identification and treatment include?

Japanese knotweed is a rapidly spreading and growing plant, which suppresses the growth of any vegetation near it. Even though this type of weed dies in winter, in summer it can quickly reach up to 2m in height. The other danger of this particular type of weed is that it can spread from garden to garden. Its eradication requires a lot of effort, determination, and time.

If you book our Japanese knotweed removal service, you will get a free on-site survey to identify the plant. We work with special knotweed control companies in the UK because this type of weed requires a lot of attention and expertise to identify.

How does an identification service go:

• You book our service and request a free on-site inspection of the plant.
• An expert visits your property, evaluates, and confirms the presence of Japanese knotweed in your garden.
• Upon request and at an additional charge, you can receive a detailed written report about the established Japanese knotweed spread on your land. You will receive the report within five days after the inspection.
• If you wish to proceed with the removal process, you will receive an eradication plan and a quote for the service. The plan can be with a longevity of 5 to 15 years. In such a case, your report fee is deducted from the quotation for the service.
• Then, the knotweed treatment and eradication plan are applied.

What methods we use to treat and eradicate Japanese knotweed

You are legally obligated to declare a knotweed problem and take care of it so it doesn’t spread to other areas. This type of weed is very resilient and stubborn, and the management plan to eradicate it may last from five to fifteen years.

Fantastic Services works with trusted knotweed contractors that specialise in dealing with this type of plant. There are several ways to treat this weed, depending on its proliferation. Some of the methods are:

• Stem injection;
• Herbicide treatment;
• Root barriers;
• Excavation of the plant;
• Sifting and screening.

If you aren’t sure whether the weeds in your garden are Japanese knotweed or not, call us for an inspection before you treat it in any way. DIY weeding is often pointless. This plant can regrow in no time from the tiniest root remaining in the soil (as small as 2mm).

We will send an experienced gardener to survey your garden and establish whether you’re dealing with Japanese knotweed or a regular type of weed. Upon discovering it’s the former, you will have to book a service and leave the job to the experts.
