Welwyn Garden City 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 will quickly turn a well-tended garden into a mess. There are numerous species of weeds in the United Kingdom and while many are beneficial in small amounts, many others will easily become problematic. Kinds like Japanese knotweed and brambles can very quickly overwhelm the plants already in a garden. It is vital to keep any weeds in your garden in order as in severe circumstances they could cause structural problems to the building if they’re permitted to grow unchecked near to the house.

Some species 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 order and stop it from spreading. If you have Japanese knotweed in your garden and the local authority deems it to dramatically affect the appearance of the local area then they can make you manage it.

Specialist weed control companies can accurately identify the kinds of weed which is causing an issue in your garden. They can then carry out 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 order is to keep a well-maintained garden and to remove any weeds as soon as you can.
