Barrow-In-Furness 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 turn a well-tended garden into a mess. There are many different species of weeds in the UK and while some are beneficial in small numbers, many others can easily become problematic. Varieties like Japanese knotweed and brambles can quickly overwhelm the vegetation already in a garden. It’s crucial to keep any weeds in your garden under control as in serious cases they could cause structural problems to the building if they’re allowed to grow unchecked near to the house.

Some varieties of weeds such as Japanese knotweed have legal requirements on 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 order and stop 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 they can force you to manage it.

Experienced weed control companies can accurately identify the varieties of weed which is causing an issue 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 eliminate any weeds as soon as you can.
