VSM Ltd left us this review after a successful invasive plant and asbestos contaminated ground removal contract: ” They delivered the works safely and ahead of original program I feel this is down to their organisational skills and problem solving.”
BEFORE & AFTER: A reduced level excavation of Bamboo, Japanese knotweed and some Variegated yellow archangel from a residential property. On this occasion the invasive Montbretia was requested by our client to be retained.
The excavated soils and materials were relocated to a temporary stockpile, then removed to landfill with a horizontal root barrier installed and returned vertically to the boundary. All Bamboo material and contaminated soils were removed. As you can see the finished result was a clean area where the Bamboo was growing but with the plants the client wanted left protected.
It was a bit of a tight squeeze to get the digger onto site! But the result was nice and tidy.
We treat and remove plants that are known to be invasive and, if left uncontrolled become problematic for homeowners, commercial businesses, and organisations. These are species that spread wildly, encroaching onto other properties. Currently the most common invasive species include Bamboo, Buddleia and Giant hogweed.
Our Amenity Weed Management services help Local Authorities to control or eradicate amenity weeds such as Ragwort, Rosebay willowherb and Himalayan balsam. These are weeds that commonly grow on public open spaces, footpaths, highways and urban areas.
We do not treat or remove common residential garden weeds. For the full list of weeds we control hit the button below.

We love to save our clients time and money – so when our staff are onsite surveying or excavating they’ll be on the lookout for other ground contaminants that need to be removed – which we can do at the same time!
