Northwich 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 turn a well-tended garden into a mess. There are various varieties of weeds in the UK and while many are beneficial in small numbers, many others can easily become problematic. Types like Japanese knotweed and brambles can very quickly overwhelm the plant life already present in a garden. It is critical to keep any weeds in your garden under control as in serious circumstances they may cause structural problems to the building if they’re allowed to grow unchecked near to the house.

Some species 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 prevent 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.

Expert weed control companies can accurately identify the types 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 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.
