Skelmersdale 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 easily turn a well-tended garden into a mess. There are various species of weeds in the UK and while some are beneficial in small amounts, many others will quickly become problematic. Kinds like Japanese knotweed and brambles can quickly overwhelm the vegetation already in a garden. It’s critical to keep any weeds in your garden in order as in serious circumstances they may cause structural problems to the building if they are allowed to grow unchecked close to the house.

Some species of weeds such as Japanese knotweed have legal requirements that cover them as 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 check and stop it from spreading. If you have Japanese knotweed on your premises and the local authority deems it to dramatically affect the character of the local area then they can make you manage it.

Qualified weed control companies can accurately identify the kinds of weed which is causing a problem in your garden. They are able to then carry out 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 simplest way to keep weeds under control is to keep a well-maintained garden and to get rid of any weeds as soon as you can.
