Japanese Knotweed is listed by the World Conservation Union as one of the world's worst invasive species.
The invasive root system and strong growth can damage:
concrete foundations
buildings
flood defences
roads
paving
retaining walls
and architectural sites
In many cases, home owners in the United Kingdom are unable to sell their homes if there is any evidence of knotweed on the property. Japanese knotweed has a large underground network of roots and, above ground, has hollow stems with distinct raised nodes that give it the appearance of bamboo, though it is not related. Because of the complicated nature and potential issues of the plant, it’s essential that you get in touch with an expert if it’s found on or near your property.
Sharing over 30 years of hands-on knowledge and experience in the invasive weeds and trees industry in both commercial and domestic sectors, we proudly provide bespoke solutions in Scotland for all invasive weeds and site clearance works no matter the scale.
