Suspect Japanese knotweed in Dorset?
If you think you’ve found Japanese knotweed on your property, the first step is to arrange a professional site survey. Our team will visit your property in Dorset to confirm the presence of knotweed and assess the extent of the infestation.
During the inspection, we’ll look at specific identifying features, including leaf structure, stem formation, and seasonal growth patterns. We’ll also determine whether the knotweed is active, dormant, or previously treated. Using this information, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan based on your property’s unique requirements.

How serious is Japanese knotweed in Dorset?
Japanese knotweed is one of the UK’s most aggressive invasive species, and it’s a growing concern across Dorset. The plant can push through concrete, tarmac, patios, and even building foundations, leading to serious structural damage and long-term property issues. It also spreads rapidly, up to 20cm a day during peak season, outcompeting native plants and damaging local ecosystems.
According to the Bournemouth Echo, there are several Japanese knotweed hotspots in Dorset, particularly in the west of the county. The worst-affected area is around Raymond’s Hill, Monkton Wyld, and Harcombe Bottom, with 36 recorded cases in a 4km radius.
Morcombelake follows with 34 cases, while Lyme Regis and Dorchester have 31 and 30, respectively. Other affected areas include Weymouth and Chickerell (22), Swanage (18), and Wimborne Minster (13). In the BCP area, Christchurch (24), Poole (21), and Bournemouth (18) also show increasing numbers.
