TCM are environmental consultants and specialists in the control and eradication of invasive weeds, including Japanese knotweed. Their scientifically-proven and environmentally conscious removal solutions have led them to the forefront of the invasive weed eradication industry.
This project enabled a business at the forefront of Japanese knotweed eradication to better communicate with key audiences through a professional and responsive website.
Eradicating invasive knotweed species
Since inception, TCM have worked across the UK and Republic of Ireland on large-scale projects such as the Olympic Site in London and The Eden Project in Cornwall, as well as smaller-scale residential projects for homeowners.
TCM are fully backed by an A+ rated Insurance Backed Guarantee (IBG) from Lloyds, which ensures their customers are covered for a broad range of extenuating circumstances, and offer guidance on invasive weeds to all that seek it through 'Dr Knotweed'; online specialist and founder of TCM, Howard Downer.
