Introduction: Professional Knotweed Control in Neath & Surrounding Areas

Why Japanese Knotweed Is a Local Issue in Neath

The terrain in and around Neath provides ideal conditions for knotweed growth and spread:

  • River Neath and canal networks act as transport corridors for rhizomes

  • Steep valley sides and embankments (like Cimla and Cadoxton) are prone to erosion and spread

  • Historic railway sidings in Skewen, Resolven, and Crynant with untreated infestations

  • Old industrial and mining land where topsoil disturbance invites regrowth

  • Frequent flooding in areas like Glynneath accelerates knotweed spread

Knotweed spreads fast in Neath due to its mix of flood-prone soils, ex-industrial sites, and closely spaced homes.

Knotweed Hotspots in Neath & Surrounding Areas

  • Tonna & Cimla – common spread from rivers and steep terrain

  • Briton Ferry – industrial land and waterfront zones

  • Skewen & Neath Abbey – near railway lines and neglected plots

  • Neath Town Centre – spread through shared gardens and riverside flats
