Knotweed Removal in Sidney, BC — Stop the Spread and Protect Your Property
Remove this destructive plant with licensed herbicide treatment, deep root extraction, and long-term control strategies.
Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is one of the most aggressive and destructive invasive plants in Canada. It spreads rapidly through underground rhizomes, breaks through concrete and asphalt, and devalues properties across Vancouver Island. At Ascent Yard Care, we provide comprehensive knotweed removal services in Sidney, BC, combining excavation, licensed herbicide treatment, and long-term monitoring to ensure total eradication.
Why Knotweed Is So Dangerous
- 🪵 Breaks through foundations, patios, and retaining walls
- 🚫 Impossible to control by cutting or digging alone
- 🌱 Grows up to 10 cm per day during peak season
- 🔁 Regrows from tiny rhizome fragments (as small as 0.7g)
- 💸 Can reduce property value and cause legal issues if spreading
Our Proven Knotweed Eradication Process
✅ Site Assessment & Mapping
We inspect the property and track underground rhizomes, often extending 2–3 metres deep and up to 7 metres laterally from visible growth.
✅ Targeted Herbicide Application
As licensed applicators in BC, we use systemic herbicides timed precisely (usually late summer/fall) to transport treatment down to the rhizomes, weakening the root system over multiple seasons.
✅ Mechanical & Excavation Options
Where excavation is possible, we carefully remove soil and root mass to disposal guidelines. All contaminated material is disposed of safely off-site — knotweed must never be composted.
✅ Ongoing Monitoring
Due to its resilience, knotweed requires multi-year follow-up, including seasonal checks and secondary treatments as needed.
✅ Restoration & Replanting
After successful eradication, we can rebuild the landscape with clean soil, new turf, native plants, or ornamental beds.
