Why Japanese knotweed is a problem in Aylesbury
On Aylesbury properties, Japanese knotweed rhizome spreads several metres underground, exploits cracks in hard standing and drains, and can stall a mortgage offer or sale. Aylesbury's knotweed hotspots cluster along the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal and the River Thame, with disturbed ground from ongoing housing expansion around Berryfields also proving vulnerable to colonisation.

How we treat Japanese knotweed in Aylesbury
Treatment method
We use a three to five year stem-injection and foliar herbicide programme, or hybrid and full excavation with licensed off-site disposal where timescales are tight.
Best timing
Most effective late summer to early autumn, when the plant draws herbicide down into the rhizome.
Your legal position
Listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 — allowing it to spread to neighbouring land can bring a civil claim, and the cut material is controlled waste.
Local coverage
Aylesbury and nearby Stone, Bierton, Weston Turville.
