Chorley Weed Control

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 can quickly change a well-tended garden into a mess. There are many different types of weeds in the United Kingdom and while some are beneficial in small numbers, many others will easily become problematic. Kinds like Japanese knotweed and brambles can very quickly overwhelm the vegetation already in a garden. It’s crucial to keep any weeds in your garden in order as in serious cases they may cause structural problems to the building if they are permitted to grow unchecked near 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 isn’t illegal to have Japanese knotweed in your garden but you are obliged by law to keep it in check 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 manage it.

Professional weed control companies can accurately identify the species of weed which is causing a problem in your garden. They can 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 easiest way to keep weeds in check is to keep a well-maintained garden and to get rid of any weeds as soon as you can.
