Abbots Langley Weed Control

Weeds are fast growing vegetation which will grow naturally in many areas and can spread very rapidly if left unchecked. Weeds will affect gardens and can easily turn a well-tended garden into a mess. There are many kinds of weeds in the United Kingdom and while some are beneficial in small numbers, many others will easily become problematic. Varieties like Japanese knotweed and brambles can quickly overwhelm the plant life already present in a garden. It’s important to keep any weeds in your garden under control as in serious circumstances they may cause structural problems to the building if they’re permitted to grow unchecked near to the house.

Some kinds of weeds such as Japanese knotweed have legal requirements that cover them as they are non-native invasive species. It is not illegal to have Japanese knotweed in your garden but you are obliged by law to keep it in order and prevent it from spreading. If you have Japanese knotweed on your property and the local authority deems it to drastically affect the appearance of the local area then they can make you manage it.

Specialist weed control companies can accurately identify the varieties of weed which is causing a problem in your garden. They are able to then perform an effective treatment plan which may involve using chemical or organic herbicides along with installing preventative measures such as weed control fabric or mulch. The most effective way to keep weeds in order is to keep a well-maintained garden and to get rid of any weeds as quickly as you can.
