Studies indicate that untreated knotweed can cause property damage worth thousands of dollars due to its invasive nature.
Professional knotweed removal involves a combination of mechanical excavation, chemical treatment, and ongoing monitoring. The process typically begins with a detailed site assessment, followed by targeted removal efforts to eliminate both above-ground growth and underground rhizomes. Proper disposal of plant material is crucial to prevent further spread.
