The impact of Japanese knotweed
Japanese knotweed can cause structural damage and significantly disrupt outdoor spaces if left untreated. Its roots are strong enough to penetrate hard surfaces such as concrete, tarmac, and paving, and can spread beneath buildings and surrounding land.
Over time, this can lead to costly repairs and ongoing maintenance issues. In addition to physical damage, the presence of knotweed can also affect property value and make selling more difficult, particularly if a professional management plan is not in place.
Find out moreHow bad is Japanese knotweed in Bridgewater?
According to Somerset Live, recent figures suggest up to eight reported occurrences within a 4km radius in Bridgwater. While this is relatively low compared to other parts of the UK, it still confirms that Japanese knotweed is present in the local area and has the potential to spread.
It’s also worth noting that knotweed is often underreported. Because it spreads underground through its root system, infestations can extend beyond what is visible, meaning the true scale of the issue may be larger than reported figures suggest.
