How is the growth of weeds controlled?
The control of weeds within existing horticultural maintained areas (in shrub and rose beds, around street furniture located in grass verges and within parks overall) is carried out by our grounds maintenance providers using only approved herbicides. The weeds are controlled using environmentally friendly but effective herbicides. When the herbicide is applied to a weed, usually by spraying, it works its way through the plant killing it completely. On contact with soil it breaks down into harmless substances. This type of herbicide is known as a non-residual translocated herbicide.
