Our general weed control service involves the eradication of varied weed species
from sites ranging in size from small domestic gardens to large-scale industrial
sites.
Weed control techniques include removing weeds by hand pulling, hoeing and application
of herbicide and also prevention of weed growth by application of residual herbicide which
prevents weed seed germination.
In addition to general weed control we also offer the following specialist weed control
services
Preventative weed control on certain types of hard surfaces using residual herbicides
Eradication of scrub and brushwood using herbicides
Control of noxious weeds including Japanese Knotweed, Giant Hogweed and Himalayan
Balsam.
For small infestations of such weeds we would usually recommend a regime of control with
herbicide and for large infestations a combination of excavation followed by chemical
control.
The use of chemicals to control weeds carries with it a responsibility towards the safety of
employees and other site users and towards the protection of the natural environment.
Consequently, any employees applying herbicidal chemicals hold appropriate and legally-
required qualifications from the National Proficiency Tests Council and are provided with
appropriate protective equipment. They are also trained to conduct and act on the findings
of Environmental Impact Assessments to ensure that the right chemicals are only applied
in the right conditions.
We carry out all weed control with environmental protection foremost in mind. Where
practical and cost-effective we always employ chemical-free weed control techniques and,
when chemical control is necessary, we use the safest of chemicals. Increasingly we are
using only those chemicals which have a non-hazardous classification under the Control of
Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (2002).
