Japanese Knotweed Removal

🌿 What You Need to Know About Japanese Knotweed on Development Sites

Planning to build or develop land affected by Japanese Knotweed in Cork? A long-term, five-year herbicide plan is often not practical for development projects. Tight construction schedules, planning deadlines, and budget constraints mean that complete Knotweed excavation and soil removal is often the only viable option.

🚧 Why Full Removal Matters

According to the Environment Agency, the only way to achieve full eradication is to remove the entire rhizome system from the soil. This is essential when ground disturbance will occur - such as during:

• Building extensions or new housing developments
• Landscaping and groundwork projects
• Commercial or industrial construction

Even small remnants of rhizome can lead to regrowth, making professional Knotweed removal vital before work begins.
