Plenty of garden plants get mistaken for knotweed, among them bindweed, dogwood, Russian vine and Himalayan balsam. Before you pay for anything, send a clear photo of a leaf, a length of stem and, if you can, the whole plant. If it is something else we say so and that is that. If it is knotweed, or the picture is not clear enough, we offer a visit.
A close picture of one whole leaf, a close picture of a stem section including a joint, and a wide shot of the full plant with something for scale, such as a spade or a wheelie bin. Daylight beats a better phone. In winter, snap a dead cane and, if you can, one snapped open to show the hollow middle.
A reply saying what we think it is and how sure we are. Quite often it is a harmless look-alike and you can stop there. If it is knotweed, we explain what a survey involves and what it costs, and you choose whether to go on. There is no sales push attached.
Some plants are half buried in brambles, cut to the ground or covered in ivy, and a photo cannot settle the matter. We would rather suggest a short visit than guess.
One leaf and a stretch of stem is enough. Use the contact form or message us. It costs nothing.
If it is knotweed, we visit, measure the stand and note what is close to it.
A programme across several seasons, or digging it out when the date will not move.
A written plan for you and your lender, then return visits until nothing regrows.
Every job starts with a free photo check. If a visit is needed, you get a written quote before any work starts — no obligation, no surprises.
