Removal of Japanese Knotweed in Rainhill
Japanese Knotweed is a big problem throughout the UK, therefore removal of Japanese Knotweed in Rainhill and the rest of the UK is required!
Japanese Knotweed was brought over to the UK from Far East Asia by the Victorians. It was brought over for its ornamental nature, which is rather deceiving due to its lovely green heart-shaped foliage and small white flowers in late summer-early autumn. The ever increasing train lines that were also being built often had Japanese Knotweed planted along the embankments, as Knotweed is strong and resilient. However, it is now causing many problems for individuals who live by railway tracks, as Japanese Knotweed is highly invasive and damaging to properties!
Japanese Knotweed may look lovely in its appearance, but it grows rapidly causing damage along the way. The root system can spread out from the plant up to seven metres and the strong roots can break through concrete, walls and drains. Not only do the roots cause damage, but the foliage can grow up to 1.2 metres per month, during the growing season, taking over your garden!
