Whitehaven 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 can easily change a well-tended garden into a mess. There are many different types of weeds in the United Kingdom and while some are beneficial in small quantities, many others will easily become problematic. Species 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 under control as in severe cases they may cause structural problems to the building if they’re permitted to grow unchecked near to the house.

Some varieties of weeds such as Japanese knotweed have legal requirements that cover 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 under control and prevent it from spreading. If you have Japanese knotweed on your premises and the local authority deems it to significantly affect the character of the local area then they can make you manage it.

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