No such thing as weeds?
It is sometimes said that there are no such things as weeds, simply flowers that are growing in the wrong place. But, actually, sometimes they are just weeds! That weed pushing its way through the tarmac in your car park and threatening to trip over that important potential client? That is a weed. That weed snaking along the bottom wall of your building? That is a weed, unsightly, and potentially destructive. The notorious Japanese Knotweed even has the word “weed” in its name. However, weeds are a fact of life, and fortunately, there is a solution – weed control services.
Quick weed control can prevent further damage
We can provide weed control as part of our grounds maintenance package or simply as a stand-alone service. Like many things, a weed is best caught early and treated quickly, reducing the amount of damage it has done, as well as limiting the need to use products or chemicals to kill it. One of the aspects of our grounds maintenance service is weed control, part of which is to spot them as they begin to creep in and prevent them from taking hold. Weeds can overrun neglected areas quickly, and the first step of regeneration projects is often to take control and start by clearing them from the site.
Good design can help prevent weeds from taking hold
Careful planting can prevent weeds from growing. When we provide commercial landscaping services we chose how to plant the areas very carefully, strategic planting can help to reduce the opportunity for them to grow. We can advise you on whether it may be more cost-effective to re-plant a certain area rather than continually treat the weed problem. Removing the weeds from an area instantly rejuvenates the space, as well as improving the health of any existing plants.
Weed control helps protect your other plants
Weeds can steal the nutrients from the soil and strangle other plants. Invasive weeds can affect building foundations and tree root systems. Careful weed control can prevent further damage, and reduce the chances of the weed returning. It is important where possible to remove as much of the root as possible during weed control to reduce the regrowth.
Weed control creates good first impressions
The exterior of your business can often be the first impression that a client may have of you. It is important to make a good initial impression. Weeds are associated with lack of care and untidiness, neither traits are a good advertisement for your company. Regular maintenance, including weed control in and around your business, will improve the external appearance, and enhance your first impression to your customer.
