Japanese Knotweed Excavation in Cambridge

In Cambridge, excavation is often the most effective way to remove Japanese Knotweed when development, construction or landscaping work cannot be delayed. Our local team provides fully managed excavation and soil‑removal services for residential gardens, commercial premises, riverside locations and development sites across Cambridgeshire.

Excavation is particularly suitable for Cambridge properties where infestations are close to foundations, boundary walls, drainage systems or historic structures, or where contaminated soil must be removed before planning conditions can be met. This approach provides immediate clearance and allows projects to continue without long treatment cycles.

All excavation work is carried out by PCA‑qualified specialists using controlled methods to ensure every rhizome is removed safely and the site is left clean, compliant and ready for use.

Licensed Soil Disposal & On‑Site Relocation in Cambridgeshire

Japanese Knotweed waste is classified as controlled waste and must be transported and disposed of at licensed facilities. We work with approved disposal sites across Cambridgeshire to ensure all excavated material is handled legally and responsibly, with full waste‑transfer documentation provided for every project.

Where suitable, we can also relocate Knotweed‑affected soil to a designated on‑site burial cell. This option is ideal for larger rural plots, agricultural land and development sites around Cambridge where space allows for a compliant burial system.

On‑site relocation can significantly reduce disposal costs while still meeting Environment Agency and PCA standards.

Rapid Dig & Dump Solutions for Cambridge Development Projects

For construction sites working to tight deadlines, our rapid Dig & Dump service offers the quickest route to full site clearance. Contaminated soil is removed in the shortest possible timeframe, allowing groundworks, extensions or redevelopment to continue without disruption.

This service is widely used across Cambridge for residential extensions, new‑build plots, commercial refurbishments and infrastructure projects where delays would be costly.

Excavation costs in Cambridge depend on access, soil volume, depth of rhizomes and disposal requirements. We provide free quotations for all Cambridge properties and offer clear, fixed‑price excavation plans with no hidden fees.
