These combined skills provide an unrivalled knowledge of issues and ensure clients’ needs are met without compromise.

CYB can provide formal reports on the location of several species, outlining the extent of the invasive weed infestation, along with a proposed long-term management plan to deal with the problem. Management plans are tailored to the specific site and species that are needing to be controlled. Management plans are a long-term strategy for control and can range from 1-5 years, with reporting and feedback along every step of the way.

CYB specifically implement Japanese Knotweed herbicide management plans for housing associations (Hyde Housing and L&Q), local authorities (Southwark, Camden, Croydon) and private homeowners, who need a formal management plan.
