Ashton-Under-Lyne Weed Control

Weeds are fast growing vegetation that will grow naturally in many areas and can spread very rapidly if left unchecked. Weeds will affect gardens and will quickly turn a well-tended garden into a mess. There are numerous species 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 very quickly overwhelm the vegetation already present in a garden. It’s vital to keep any weeds in your garden in order as in severe circumstances they could cause structural problems to the building if they’re allowed to grow unchecked close to the house.

Some varieties of weeds such as Japanese knotweed have legal requirements that cover them as they are non-native invasive species. It isn’t 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 premises and the local authority deems it to substantially affect the character of the local area then they can force you to control it.

Qualified weed control companies can accurately identify the varieties of weed which is causing an issue in your garden. They can then carry out 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 easiest way to keep weeds in order is to keep a well-maintained garden and to eradicate any weeds as soon as you can.
