Lancashire Weed Control

Weeds are fast growing plants that will grow naturally in many areas and can spread very rapidly if left unchecked. Weeds will affect gardens and will easily change a well-tended garden into a mess. There are many different kinds of weeds in the United Kingdom and while some are beneficial in small numbers, many others will quickly become problematic. Types like Japanese knotweed and brambles can very quickly overwhelm the plants already present in a garden. It is important to keep any weeds in your garden in order as in extreme circumstances they may cause structural problems to the building if they’re permitted to grow unchecked close to the house.

Some kinds 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 under control and stop it from spreading. If you have Japanese knotweed on your premises and the local authority deems it to dramatically affect the character of the local area then they can make you control it.

Expert weed control companies can accurately identify the varieties of weed which is causing a problem in your garden. They can then perform 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 most effective way to keep weeds in check is to keep a well-maintained garden and to remove any weeds as quickly as you can.
