What is the need for invasive weed control?

Free guide: Managing Japanese Knotweed

Unfortunately, overtime invasive weeds have become more commonplace in the UK. News stories and legal precedents have made people more aware of the potential damage (and in some cases, harm) that they can cause, both financially and to your home or business. Their destructive presence can devalue land and property and even lead to the refusal of mortgages on properties that are blighted by them.

Different species of invasive weeds effect property (and in some cases wellbeing) in various ways. You can learn more about the characteristics of Japanese Knotweed, Giant Hogweed and Himalayn Balsam by watching the video below and you may also be interested in our guide to invasive weed problems and how to treat them which you can download by clicking the image to the right.
