Banstead Weed Control

Weeds are fast growing plants which will grow naturally in many areas and can spread very rapidly if left unchecked. Weeds will affect gardens and will quickly change a well-tended garden into a mess. There are numerous types of weeds in the UK and while some are beneficial in small quantities, many others will quickly become problematic. Types like Japanese knotweed and brambles can quickly overwhelm the vegetation already in a garden. It’s important to keep any weeds in your garden in order as in serious instances they could cause structural problems to the building if they’re permitted to grow unchecked close to the house.

Some species 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 check and prevent it from spreading. If you have Japanese knotweed on your property and the local authority deems it to significantly affect the character 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 carry out 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 simplest way to keep weeds under control is to keep a well-maintained garden and to eliminate any weeds as soon as you can.
