There are many different types of weeds that can grow in gardens and outdoor spaces. These weeds tend to be unsightly and also cause problems for homeowners.

Common weeds in the UK

• Dandelions: These yellow-flowered weeds have deep taproots and can be difficult to remove once they have established themselves in a lawn or garden. They are also known to produce a lot of seeds, making them difficult to control.
• Thistles: These prickly weeds can quickly take over a garden or lawn and can be difficult to remove by hand. They have deep roots and can regrow from small fragments of root, making them difficult to control.
• Ground Ivy: Also known as Creeping Charlie, this weed can quickly spread and take over a lawn. It has a distinctive minty smell and small purple flowers.
• Nettles: These plants have stinging hairs on the leaves and stems, which can cause skin irritation. They can quickly spread and take over a garden if left unchecked.
• Bindweed: Also known as Convolvulus, this weed can quickly take over a garden, twining around other plants and smothering them. It has trumpet-shaped white or pink flowers.

Why are weeds considered to be a problem?

Garden weeds are considered problematic for homeowners as they can be unsightly, reduce the growth of desirable plants, be difficult to remove, cause damage to buildings and infrastructure, spread rapidly and cause health problems. They can also make it difficult for homeowners to enjoy their outdoor spaces. Weeds can be a nuisance and can significantly lower the aesthetic of a garden and property.

What is knotweed?

Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is a highly invasive plant species that originates from Asia. It was brought to Europe and North America in the late 19th century as an ornamental plant and for use in erosion control and landscaping.

The plant can grow up to 3 meters tall with green bamboo-like stems, large leaves and clusters of small white flowers. It spreads rapidly via underground rhizomes (root-like structures) that can extend several meters horizontally and up to 3 meters deep, making it difficult to control.

It is considered a problem for homeowners because of its ability to cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure. The plant’s deep roots can penetrate and damage foundations, driveways, walls, and other structures. It can also cause damage to drainage systems and cause flooding. Additionally, it can grow rapidly and outcompete native plants, resulting in the loss of biodiversity.

How can knotweed be removed?

Knotweed is also difficult to control and remove, as it can regrow from small fragments of root or stem. Traditional methods of removal such as digging or cutting can actually spread the plant, making it even more difficult to control. Specialized chemical treatment is often required for effective knotweed removal.

• Identification: We can identify knotweed on your property and provide you with a plan of action
