Poole Weed Control

Weeds are fast growing plants 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 many kinds of weeds in the United Kingdom and while some are beneficial in small quantities, many others can quickly become problematic. Species like Japanese knotweed and brambles can very quickly overwhelm the plant life already present in a garden. It is vital to keep any weeds in your garden under control as in serious circumstances they may cause structural problems to the building if they are permitted to grow unchecked close to the house.

Some types of weeds such as Japanese knotweed have legal requirements on 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 prevent it from spreading. If you have Japanese knotweed on your property and the local authority deems it to considerably affect the character of the local area they can make you manage it.

Qualified weed control companies can accurately identify the varieties of weed which is causing a problem in your garden. They can 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 simplest way to keep weeds in order is to keep a well-maintained garden and to eliminate any weeds as soon as you can.
