Will new development cause spread of Japanese knotweed?

INVASIVE Japanese knotweed near Redditch’s railway station could prove problematic if buildings there are bulldozed and the unwanted earth used as topsoil somewhere else, a resident has warned. He said: ‘The presence of Japanese knotweed has led to the condemnation of houses and people being refused mortgages because of it… It needs specialist removal – if you leave even the smallest of roots it will start to spread again.’ We absolutely concur! Specialist removal is paramount – even a piece of root as small as your finger nail can grow and spread into a new infestation. If you are n any way concerned, just contact us:
