Taunton Weed Control

Weeds are fast growing plants which 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 many kinds of weeds in the UK and while many are beneficial in small amounts, many others can easily become problematic. Kinds like Japanese knotweed and brambles can quickly overwhelm the plant life already in a garden. It is vital to keep any weeds in your garden in order as in severe cases they could cause structural problems to the building if they’re permitted to grow unchecked close to the house.

Some kinds of weeds such as Japanese knotweed have legal requirements on them because 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 in your garden and the local authority deems it to considerably affect the character of the local area then they can force you to control it.

Specialist weed control companies can accurately identify the species of weed which is causing a problem in your garden. They are able to 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 simplest way to keep weeds under control is to keep a well-maintained garden and to eliminate any weeds as quickly as you can.
