Herbicide treatment across several seasons, with return visits.
Free photo ID check · Mon–Fri 8am–6pm, Sat mornings
For most gardens, spraying is the sensible route. Treatment happens during the growing season and is repeated for three to five years until nothing returns, with monitoring after that. It costs less and disturbs less than digging, unless a sale or a build date forces things along.
The main treatment is in late summer and early autumn, when the plant is sending nutrients down to the rhizome and takes the herbicide with them. The following spring the stand is thinner, with fewer and shorter canes, and the cycle repeats. Most gardens see steady shrinkage over three seasons.
Heavy rain soon after spraying can wash product away, and wind can drift it onto plants you want to keep. Near the Mersey, the Goyt, the Tame or any brook, only products approved for use by water can be used, and some places need permission first. Your operative will explain what applies to your garden.
Success means two clear seasons without regrowth, not an empty patch in July. Every visit is logged with photographs, and that log is what a lender or buyer will want to see. If shoots do return, we treat them and adjust the programme.
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.
