Japanese knotweed can turn a straightforward garden, building or development project into a much bigger concern. If you have spotted the plant, received a survey report or been asked to deal with an infestation before a sale or development, the important thing is to understand what is actually present and what needs to happen next.
Japanese Knotweed Removal provides practical support throughout Stratford-on-Avon and the surrounding Warwickshire communities. We offer Japanese knotweed treatment, excavation, surveys, disposal and ongoing management, with solutions matched to the site rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. If you are unsure whether the plant you have found is Japanese knotweed, we can help you establish the situation and plan the next step.
Japanese Knotweed Removal was established by Tom Mercer after years working around residential landscaping and groundworks in Warwickshire. Tom saw how often property owners were given alarming information about knotweed without being shown a practical route forward. He built the business around a simpler idea: inspect the problem carefully, explain the options clearly and carry out the work in a controlled way.
Tom leads the field work alongside Hannah Price, who coordinates surveys and treatment programmes, and Lewis Carter, who manages excavation, material handling and disposal arrangements. The team knows Stratford-on-Avon and its surrounding neighbourhoods well, and takes particular care around gardens, boundaries, outbuildings and development sites where access and planning can make every job different.

Learn more →Our core service area is Stratford-on-Avon, including Bishopton, Shottery, Tiddington, Alveston, Bridgetown, Clopton and Old Town. We work with homeowners, landlords, buyers, sellers, developers and other property professionals who need a clear understanding of a Japanese knotweed issue.
Local conditions can affect how a knotweed problem should be handled. A small garden infestation beside a house needs a different approach from a large stand on development land. We consider the location of the plants, access, surrounding structures, soil and intended use of the site before recommending treatment, excavation or management.

We explain what we have found, what it means and which options are realistically available without unnecessary jargon.
Our work is centred on Stratford-on-Avon and Warwickshire, so we understand the practical challenges of working around local homes, gardens and development sites.
Surveys, treatment, excavation, disposal and management are all part of our Japanese knotweed service, making it easier to keep the work coordinated.
We assess the infestation and the property before recommending a solution, helping you avoid unnecessary disturbance or poorly planned removal.
Where excavation is required, we plan how affected material will be handled and disposed of so the work is controlled from start to finish.
Avoid cutting, strimming or moving the plant until it has been assessed. Contact us for a survey so we can help determine what you are dealing with and discuss the appropriate next step.
In some circumstances, excavation and controlled disposal can remove affected material from a site. Other properties may be better suited to a managed treatment programme. The right approach depends on the infestation and the site.
Yes. We carry out surveys to assess suspected infestations and provide clear findings that can help property owners understand the issue before deciding on treatment or removal.
Yes. We can assess the plant and discuss treatment or management options that may help address the concern. If you have already received a survey or lender-related request, share the information with us so we can understand what is needed.
Japanese knotweed material needs careful handling because fragments can establish new growth. Where excavation is undertaken, we plan controlled handling and appropriate disposal arrangements rather than treating affected material like ordinary garden waste.
Treatment times vary according to the size and location of the infestation and the method selected. Some sites require repeated visits over a planned period, while excavation may be chosen where immediate physical removal is more appropriate.
