Herbicide treatment across several seasons, with return visits.
Free photo ID check · Mon–Fri 8am–6pm, Sat mornings
Spraying is the practical choice for most gardens. It is done through the growing season and repeated for three to five years until nothing returns, then monitored. It costs less and causes less upheaval than digging, unless a sale or building start forces the pace.
Treatment is timed for late summer and early autumn, when the plant is moving nutrients down into the rhizome and carries the herbicide with it. The next spring the stand is weaker, with fewer and smaller canes, and the cycle repeats. Most gardens see steady shrinking over three seasons.
Rain soon after spraying can wash product off, and wind risks drift onto plants you want to keep. Near the Sankey canal or a brook, only products approved for use by water are suitable, and some sites need permission first. Your operative should explain what applies to your garden.
Success is judged by two clear seasons with no regrowth, not by a bare patch in July. We log every visit with photographs, and the record is what a lender or buyer will ask for. If shoots come back, we treat them and adjust the programme.
One leaf and a length of stem will do. Use the contact form or message us. No cost.
If it is knotweed we come out, measure the stand and record what is near it.
