Giant Hogweed

Over the past couple of years, there seems to have been an increase in reports regarding problems caused by giant hogweed. This invasive plant is listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act and it is an offence to plant or otherwise cause to grow these species in the wild. The sap of this plant can cause severe skin burns, particularly when exposed to sunlight, so if you find it on your property then you need to act fast.

At S4JK we are experts in the treatment and removal of giant hogweed and have helped residential and commercial customers in Manchester, Stockport and the surrounding areas, effectively get rid of it. Giant hogweed is very similar in appearance to cow parsley with white flowers produced in flat-topped clusters that point upwards and can grow to a height of 3.5 meters with a spread of 1 – 2 meters.

Local authorities have the power to ask landowners to remove giant hogweed and failure to do so could lead to penalties. If you’re unsure whether you have a problem on your property then speak to the experts today at S4JK. We’re a fully licenced and qualified company that are able to undertake a wide range of chemical treatments and follow-up services. We work with customers throughout Stockport, Greater Manchester and the North West so book your initial assessment today by calling us on 01663 765 750 .

Our site assessment includes:

  • Walking over your entire site and carrying out an inspection
  • Site plan and photographs to show infestation
  • Inspection of neighbouring land for problem areas
  • Maintenance schedule recommendations
  • Recommended control options

Once we’ve carried out an assessment on your property we’ll be able to provide you with a schedule of treatment for getting the infestation removed as well as a breakdown of costs. We’ll be able to run through recommended control options and maintenance advice to stop the spreading of giant hogweed.

Himalayan Balsam

With a high growth rate of up to 2.5m from seed in a single season, Himalayan Balsam is an incredibly invasive plant that can quickly cause a problem. Predominantly found in wetland environments and around streams, riverbanks, ponds and lakes, if you find Himalayan Balsam on your property then you need to take action if you want to control it from spreading. At S4JK we can carry out a full initial assessment to determine the extent of the problem.

Himalayan Balsam is listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act and it is an offence to plant or otherwise cause to grow these species in the wild. As part of our assessment we will carry out:

  • A walk over your entire site
  • Location marking and photographs of any invasive garden weeds found
  • Inspection of neighbouring properties or land
  • Maintenance schedule recommendations
  • Risk assessment

Once we have carried out an initial assessment we’ll be able to produce a management plan and treatment schedule and a full breakdown of the cost of these. As with any invasive weed, Himalayan Balsam requires careful control in order to effectively treat and remove the problem. At S4JK we offer a full range of treatment options for Himalayan Balsam for customers in Stockport, Manchester and the surrounding areas.

If left untreated Himalayan Balsam can be incredibly tricky to remove because of its high annual growth rate which can quickly alter the ecological balance of a wetland habitat. It can also have a detrimental effect on other areas as it produces a high amount of pollen over a prolonged season which is attractive to pollinating insects.

When in bloom, Himalayan Balsam produces large pink-purple ‘policeman’s helmet’ flowers which can be quite attractive with a pleasant scent. Despite its looks, this is an invasive weed that needs to be treated fast to help prevent it from spreading and causing real problems.

With any invasive garden weeds, if you find signs of Himalayan Balsam then you need to seek expert help from the professionals. At S4JK we have helped customers throughout Stockport, Manchester and the surrounding areas rid themselves of invasive weeds and take back control.

SATISFIED CUSTOMERS

Lea Ellis

We were told by a surveyor we had Japanese Knotweed in our garden on a house sale, called S4JK and spoke to a lady called Val.

Val was very informative and knowledgeable about Knotweed and offered a garden inspection with a written report.

Within Two days Val and Dean had arrived, on time and carried out a full walkaround the garden, took photo’s and measurements, both were friendly, polite and very professional and within a couple of hours we had the full report on company headed paper sent over via e-mail.

A very prompt professional service I would recommend to anybody and definitely would use again.

Joe Baker

After finding a plant that looked very much like Japanese Knotweed in the garden of our newly bought home we were obviously very concerned. We called up S4JK and were greeted by very friendly and sympathetic staff who arranged to come by that same afternoon to investigate for us.

To our relief, they identified that it wasn’t Japanese knotweed.

We’re so grateful for their quick response, we called at 8:30am and had a result by 1:30pm. I’m not sure we could have coped with the tension for much longer.

Alex C

Contacted them regarding suspected Japanese Knotweed in my garden.

They explained their service and treatments clearly, with an initial indictation of cost.

They then scrutinised more photos I sent them, and immediately called back saying I did not actually have Knotweed.

So, very clear and honest.

Gareth

I have concern about some Japanese knotweed on neighbouring land and wasn’t sure if it was an issue and if it was what was required to fix it.

S4jk came out surveyed the land and my property and gave me a detailed report on the situation and what was required to put it right.

Fast and friendly service definitely would recommend.

Khalid

Val was brilliant with the advice and help provided regarding dealing with Japanese Knotweed. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful with the process of identifying and outlining the steps required to move forward.

Honest and reliable with her approach, I would be recommending Val to others and she will be my first point of contact if I have a similar issue in the future.
