Burnley 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 easily turn a well-tended garden into a mess. There are many different types of weeds in the United Kingdom and while many are beneficial in small amounts, many others can easily become problematic. Varieties 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 under control as in severe circumstances they may cause structural problems to the building if they are allowed to grow unchecked near to the house.

Some kinds of weeds such as Japanese knotweed have legal requirements on them because 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 stop it from spreading. If you have Japanese knotweed in your garden and the local authority deems it to significantly affect the appearance of the local area then they can force you to control it.

Qualified weed control companies can accurately identify the kinds of weed which is causing a problem in your garden. They are able to then carry out an effective treatment plan which may require using chemical or organic herbicides along with installing preventative measures such as weed control fabric or mulch. The easiest way to keep weeds under control is to keep a well-maintained garden and to eliminate any weeds as soon as you can.
