A Closer Look:
A Japanese knotweed survey is a detailed inspection conducted to identify and assess the presence of Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) on a property. The survey involves correctly identifying the knotweed, mapping its location, extent and severity, and checking for further spread of its underground rhizomes. This thorough examination helps to understand the scope of the infestation and the potential risks it poses to the property.
The survey results are compiled into a comprehensive report (often referred to as a Knotweed Management Plan) that provides a clear analysis of the findings. This report includes detailed mapping of the infestation areas and recommendations for management via treatment plan and/or complete eradication via excavation and removal. The recommendations are crucial for property owners to take informed actions to control and remove the knotweed, ensuring the property’s safety and compliance with legal requirements
