Redhill 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 easily turn a well-tended garden into a mess. There are numerous varieties of weeds in the UK and while some are beneficial in small amounts, many others can easily become problematic. Species like Japanese knotweed and brambles can quickly overwhelm the plants already in a garden. It’s important to keep any weeds in your garden under control as in extreme circumstances they could cause structural problems to the building if they’re allowed to grow unchecked close to the house.

Some species 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 under control 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 make you control it.

Experienced weed control companies can accurately identify the species 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 most effective way to keep weeds in order is to keep a well-maintained garden and to eliminate any weeds as soon as you can.
