Rochdale Weed Control

Weeds are fast growing vegetation that will grow naturally in many areas and can spread very rapidly if left unchecked. Weeds will affect gardens and will quickly change a well-tended garden into a mess. There are various kinds of weeds in the United Kingdom and while some are beneficial in small amounts, many others will easily become problematic. Varieties like Japanese knotweed and brambles can very quickly overwhelm the plant life already present in a garden. It’s crucial to keep any weeds in your garden under control as in severe circumstances they may cause structural problems to the building if they are permitted 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 in check and stop it from spreading. If you have Japanese knotweed on your property and the local authority deems it to substantially affect the character of the local area they can force you to manage it.

Professional 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 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 in check is to keep a well-maintained garden and to get rid of any weeds as quickly as you can.
