Over the past few months, we have encountered several outbreaks of Japanese Knotweed, especially in Kent. Therefore the need for the removal of Japanese Knotweed in Kent has become more prominent. Japanese Knotweed is one of the world’s most invasive species. Its strong roots spread up to 7 metres in diameter, destroying anything that gets in its way including other plants, roads and even buildings.

Removal of Japanese Knotweed in Kent

The longer Japanese Knotweed is left to grow, the more aggressively it spreads, making it increasingly difficult and costly to remove. This invasive plant can cause significant damage to properties, infrastructure, and natural habitats if not dealt with promptly. One case of Japanese Knotweed in Kent that we handled is set to cost the local council over £7,000 for initial removal, with ongoing treatments required for at least three more years before experts can confirm the infestation has been completely eradicated.

If you spot this invasive weed, do not ignore it—swift action is crucial. Leaving Japanese Knotweed in Kent untreated will only lead to more extensive and expensive damage. Instead, seek professional assistance immediately from a specialist team like ours.
