St Neots Weed Control

Weeds are fast growing vegetation that may grow naturally in many areas and can spread very rapidly if left unchecked. Weeds will affect gardens and will quickly turn a well-tended garden into a mess. There are numerous types of weeds in the United Kingdom and while many are beneficial in small quantities, many others will easily become problematic. Species like Japanese knotweed and brambles can very quickly overwhelm the plants already present in a garden. It is vital to keep any weeds in your garden under control as in extreme circumstances they could cause structural problems to the building if they’re permitted to grow unchecked near the house.

Some kinds of weeds such as Japanese knotweed have legal requirements that cover them because 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 considerably affect the appearance of the local area then they can force you to control it.

Experienced weed control companies can accurately identify the kinds of weed which is causing an issue in your garden. They can then perform 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 easiest way to keep weeds in check is to keep a well-maintained garden and to eradicate any weeds as quickly as you can.
