What is Japanese Knotweed?
Japanese Knotweed was originally brought to the UK by the Victorians, as an ornamental plant. In fact, they believed it could strengthen structures! However, little did they know that the weed is known more commonly for quite the opposite. Such as exposing weaknesses in concrete, tarmac and foundations. As such having Japanese Knotweed on your property can significantly decrease the value of your home.
