JAPANESE KNOTWEED Inside buildings On a ‘stepped’ slope Underground Underground Cell at ground level Very large cell Property/land sellers and buyers alike have had their plans thwarted by the presence of Japanese Knotweed. DENDRO-SCOTT™ Root Barrier’s development continues and, since 1996, is used as an excellent solution for the containment of Japanese Knotweed and other invasive plant species. Its flexible properties make it easy to mould to any irregular shape. With 27 Follow us @ludmagazine stock sizes, ranging from a 1m x 10m roll up to a 30m x 30m sheet, it can be used for any size of project and if rolls or sheets need to be jointed on site, this can be done easily with our double-sided jointing tape. Building ‘cells’ to bury soil contaminated with Japanese Knotweed on site is considerably more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than removing it and also minimises the risk of further spread. Technical support and advice is available, most importantly for contractors with any queries, as well as at the earlier stages, for designers, specifiers, etc. Tel: +44 (0)20 8254 5889 [email protected] www.rootbarrier.com www.landud.co.uk 89
