Knotweed Removal Costs

Many things can affect knotweed removal costs.

Firstly, don’t ignore the problem. Catching an infestation early can reduce the costs considerably. We frequently see areas growing unchecked and the plant spreads affecting neighbouring land. The plant causes more damage to buildings and land the more established it is. The roots thicken and extend widening cracks costing more to repair. As the crowns age they become denser the infestation thickens. Therefore, it takes longer to destroy the knotweed. Leaving an infestation unmanaged allows the rhizomes to store more energy. Making more Japanese Knotweed material to remove. Lastly, excavating more material means replacing more soil.
