We know invasive plants such as Japanese knotweed and Bamboo, and other invasive plants can cause stress and worry, so we’re here to help. With over twenty years’ experience in invasive plant removal, we can advise you on the best course of action within your budget. Our teams are experienced in carrying out the treatment or removal work with minimal disruption to you.
Since their introduction in the 19th century, Japanese knotweed and other invasive plants have become a prevalent issue in the North of England, colonising gardens, parks, verges, countryside, and waterways. Japanese knotweed stands out as the most troublesome, although Bamboo, Horsetail, Giant hogweed, Himalayan balsam, and Cotoneaster also present significant challenges.
Areas with a strong industrial heritage, such as Northumberland, Newcastle, Sunderland, County Durham, and Durham, tend to face the most severe impact.
Japanese knotweed’s potential to damage property, necessitate expensive repairs, and spread to neighbouring properties leads to complex legal issues. It can even lead to a decline in home values, making them challenging to sell. Our team has successfully assisted hundreds of homeowners across the region in addressing issues caused by Japanese knotweed on their properties.
Bamboo, too, exhibits extensive spreading, with rhizomes extending 30 feet or more, causing new shoots to emerge through lawns and patios. When this encroachment affects neighbouring properties, it can result in disputes among neighbours, potentially leading to legal action.
For top-notch invasive plant removal in the North of England, contact Environet today to connect with our dedicated and highly experienced team. We take pride in being a market-leading, specialist company that provides customers with a personalised, local service.
With a BSc (Hons) in Geography and a dissertation focusing on invasive plants, Amber brings a wealth of experience to the business. She has successfully assisted hundreds of homeowners and developers in addressing issues related to invasive and destructive plants.

What our clients say
Reviews
Richard responded to my email asking…
“Richard responded to my email asking for identification from pictures of the plants, immediately. This service is free of charge. All they ask for is a donation to a charity, which is really nice of them. Would definitely recommend them.”
Lovely company
“Lovely company. I am buying a flat in a high risk japanese knotweed area and spotted some suspicious looking shoots in the garden. Emailed photos to Environet who responded super speedily to reassure me it wasn’t knotweed. They asked for a donation to one of their justgiving charities instead of charging a fee for identification which is such a lovely idea!”
I contacted Environet Uk to discuss my concern about Japanese knotweed.
“I was advised how their identification system operated and was asked to send clear photographic images by email, which I did. Within 3 hours, I received a response. Very impressed by the professional manner this was dealt with. Thank you.”
Fantastic identification service!
“Fantastic identification service! I received an email response 1 hour after I sent the company an email with photos. I was advised that the weeds in the photos were not Japanese knotweed which was a huge relief.”
