Excavation is the fastest and most decisive method of removing Japanese Knotweed, especially where construction, demolition or redevelopment cannot be delayed. Our Birmingham team provides fully compliant excavation, soil removal and remediation services for residential gardens, commercial premises and large‑scale development sites across the West Midlands.
Excavation is ideal when rapid clearance is required, herbicide treatment is unsuitable, infestations are close to foundations or drainage systems, or contaminated soil must be removed to meet planning or building requirements.
Our PCA‑accredited specialists use controlled excavation techniques to safely remove all rhizome‑contaminated material, ensuring the site is left clean, compliant and ready for use.
Japanese Knotweed waste is classed as controlled waste and must be handled, transported and disposed of under strict environmental regulations. We work with licensed facilities across the West Midlands to ensure all excavated material is disposed of legally and responsibly.
Every excavation project includes full waste‑transfer documentation, compliant transport, disposal at licensed facilities, photographic evidence and reporting, with a 10‑year guarantee included.
Where suitable, we can relocate Knotweed‑affected soil to a designated on‑site burial cell — a cost‑effective option for larger development plots, commercial land and projects with flexible groundworks.
When time is critical, our Dig & Dump service provides the fastest possible solution. This method removes all contaminated soil from site in the shortest timeframe, allowing construction or demolition to continue without delay.
Benefits include extremely fast turnaround, minimal disruption to schedules, immediate access to cleared areas, full compliance with waste regulations and a 10‑year guarantee included.
Excavation costs in Birmingham vary depending on access, soil volume, depth of rhizomes and disposal requirements. We provide free quotations for all Birmingham properties and offer clear, fixed‑price excavation plans with no hidden fees.
Our PCA‑accredited specialists deliver fast, compliant Japanese Knotweed excavation, soil removal and full site clearance across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.
