Excavation remains the safest and most decisive way to eradicate invasive weeds such as Japanese knotweed. At Eco Control Solutions, we manage every stage, so your ground is clean, compliant and ready for use. All work follows PCA standards, carries a 10 year warranty.
Why choose excavation & weed disposal?
Certain invasive species, like Japanese knotweed, giant hogweed and horsetail, can regrow from root fragments as small as a few millimetres. Excavating the contaminated soil in one controlled operation ensures all viable material is removed, eliminating the risk of regrowth and avoiding future disruption.

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.
