Japanese knotweed in Kent
Knotweed in Kent is found along rivers such as the Medway, the Stour and the Darent, on railway embankments, verges and waste ground, as well as in gardens. Because tiny fragments of rhizome can regrow, the way it is dug, moved and disposed of matters as much as the treatment.
If the knotweed is on land next to yours, such as a railway embankment, a council verge or a neighbour's garden, report it to the landowner and keep a record. We can survey your side, give you a written report with photos to share, and protect your boundary.
Rivers, waste and the rules
Knotweed, and soil containing it, is controlled waste. If it has to leave site, it must go with a registered waste carrier to an authorised site. Screening the soil on site helps reduce how much has to go.
