Leigh Weed Control

Weeds are fast growing vegetation that may 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 numerous types of weeds in the UK and while some are beneficial in small amounts, many others will easily become problematic. Species like Japanese knotweed and brambles can very quickly overwhelm the plant life already present in a garden. It’s critical to keep any weeds in your garden under control as in serious instances they may cause structural problems to the building if they are allowed to grow unchecked near the house.

Some species 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 check and prevent it from spreading. If you have Japanese knotweed on your premises and the local authority deems it to drastically affect the appearance of the local area they can force you to control it.

Expert weed control companies can accurately identify the types of weed which is causing an issue 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 under control is to keep a well-maintained garden and to get rid of any weeds as quickly as you can.
