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 will easily turn a well-tended garden into a mess. There are many different varieties of weeds in the United Kingdom and while many are beneficial in small quantities, many others will quickly become problematic. Species like Japanese knotweed and brambles can quickly overwhelm the plant life already in a garden. It’s critical to keep any weeds in your garden in order as in severe cases they may cause structural problems to the building if they’re permitted to grow unchecked near to the house.
Some types of weeds such as Japanese knotweed have legal requirements that cover them because 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 check and prevent it from spreading. If you have Japanese knotweed on your property and the local authority deems it to dramatically affect the character of the local area then they can make you manage it.
Expert weed control companies can accurately identify the species of weed which is causing a problem in your garden. They are able to then perform an effective treatment plan which may consist of 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 soon as you can.
