Japanese Knotweed Translocation Services
Japanese knotweed translocation offers a smarter way to handle knotweed-contaminated soil. Instead of costly off-site disposal, the material is moved to a secure on-site zone, treated, and contained. It keeps your project moving, reduces risk, and saves money.
Why choose Eco Control Solutions translocation treatment for knotweed?
We relocate knotweed-contaminated soil to a sealed zone on site, stockpiling it on a membrane no higher than 500mm. The area is fenced off and entered into a licensed herbicide programme. It’s a cost-effective way to contain and treat knotweed without off-site disposal.

Safe excavation and relocation
Contaminated soil is excavated and moved to a secure, geotextile-lined area no higher than 500mm. This zone is fenced off to prevent disturbance or cross-contamination.
Ongoing treatment and containment
The relocated material is treated under a phased herbicide programme. The area is monitored throughout to ensure full control over time.

Residential property
Japanese Knotweed Excavation and Removal in Residential Property
Our client was the owner of a residential property with very limited access to the rear of the house, which comprised of a decked terrace overlooking a long, narrow garden, which sat several feet lower than the house. There were two infestations of Japanese Knotweed present within the garden. The first was growing underneath and around a garden shed, the second was growing in a rockery that had previously been a pond. The client opted for a full excavation and removal, rather than a treatment solution, as they had plans to redesign the garden.
