Weed Control Services
Invasive non native species such as Giant hogweed are highly dangerous. Their sap contains a toxic chemical, which sensitises the skin to sunlight causing severe blisters, resulting in burns which can be serious and long lasting. Every year gardeners, hikers, children and animals are hurt by the plant.

Weeds
Weeds are simply plants that are growing where they are not wanted.They are generally plants that are fast growing and thrive in most types of soil. Not only are they unsightly, but they also compete for any available food and water, whilst providing shelter for a number of garden pests and disease.
There are approximately 250,000 species of plants worldwide, of those, about 3% or eight thousand species behave as weeds.
Three major types of weeds in the UK.
There are three major types of weeds, and these are:
- Annual weeds
- Lawn Weeds
- Perennial weeds or Woody weeds
Annual or weeds last for one year or growing season. Yet they produce lots of seeds for the following year and years afterwards.
A great example of an annual weed is Fat Hen (Chenopodium Album) – the fastest-growing one. Another one is Creeping Woodsorrel (Oxalis Corniculata), a low-growing annual plant.
Lawn weeds, as the name suggests, grow within your lawn. They’re capable of suffocating the grass if overlooked. Plantains, dandelions, and daisies fall under this category.
Perennial and woody weeds, meanwhile, have a deep root or a fibrous root. So they keep on coming back year after year. This includes white clover, ground ivy, yellow nutsedge, and dallisgrass.
These weeds can re-grow from even the smallest left-over segment. Hence digging them up can often worsen the problem.
