Invasive weed removal London
In this article we take an in-depth look at the concerns of invasive weeds in London and the importance of invasive weed control for Londoners and borough councils.
We identify, treat and remove common (and not so common) invasive plants such as Bamboo, Rhododendron, Ragwort, Variegated yellow archangel and Giant hogweed, as well as water weeds such as Parrot’s feather, Nuttall’s waterweed and Azolla. We also have a team and bespoke equipment dedicated to large scale management of amenity weeds. Browse our directory below.
Some species are harmful plants, such as Common ragwort and Hemlock water dropwort are highly toxic, causing health and safety issues for our teams and proving fatal to some livestock. For these reasons, training our teams is extremely important. Whilst we do provide online modules that all staff (even office based) must undertake, training for noxious species is best done out in the field with demonstrations of how to carry out treatment safely.
In this blog we explain the importance of onsite training. Our Specialist Advisory Manager Darren goes onsite to train one of our surveyors on how to deal with Ragwort.
