    Horsetail (often referred to as Mare’s tail) – This is an under-rated problem, but Clearsafe Japanese Knotweed are getting a growing number of calls regarding the treatment and eradication of this plant, due to its ability to destroy new tarmac and poke through cracks in paving. We believe the problem is growing because of a lack of awareness surrounding its ability to spread on the wind using spores. The plant is very simple but robust which makes it quite resistant to non-specialist weed killers. It also has a deep root or rhizome system like Japanese Knotweed that makes it very difficult to dig out or kill with a single herbicide application.

    Rhododendron – Introduced to Britain sometime around 1763 rhododendron is a hardy evergreen flowering shrub. An invasive species it takes hold and out competes native flora and fauna. Control methods vary depending on the maturity and size of the infestation. Call now for an onsite assessment and bespoke control services.

    Giant Hogweed – After all the publicity in the last few years, it’s surprising we don’t get many calls for Giant Hogweed; most calls are mistaken identifications with Common Hogweed. Having said all this, Giant Hogweed is definitely one to call in the experts as soon as you notice it, due to the potential for serious injury. Contact with the plant can make your skin photosensitive, so that you can suddenly develop painful burns. The seeds can be very long-lasting so it needs to be dealt with. 

    Cherry Laurel – Cherry Laurel is a dense thicket forming invasive ever-green shrub of gardens, parks and woodlands from South West Asia. Similar to Rhododendron with its waxy leaves and characteristics, treatment methods are the same. Call us to enquire about our services.

    James from Clearsafe surveyed our clump forming Black Bamboo and recommended how to remove it effectively from our border. James then attended on an agreed date and removed the Bamboo. The only way you would know any work was completed in the garden is the Bamboo is not there. James is very professional and we would highly recommend him. Thank you James for your help, it is very much appreciated.

    Responded to my email query within 24 hours. James called to my property and explained clearly what needed to be done. Totally professional and helpful without wanting to charge me for work that didn't need doing. Excellent.

    Excellent service, highly recommend. I had a letter from a neighbour concerned there was a canopy of knotweed on our border coming from my side. I contacted Clearsafe after work looking to book an assessment and James kindly said he’d pop over that evening! James quickly confirmed it was not knotweed, was likely a fruiting vine and sure enough found some small fruits. He kindly went with my neighbour to assess the border from their side also and confirmed there was no knotweed. He explained the differences in the stem and leaves and what to look for. Incredible service, professional and friendly. It was incredibly stressful thinking there was knotweed but James was very kind, knowledgeable and reassuring. Highly recommend.

    We are in the middle of purchasing a property and it was brought up in the survey that JKW was likely to be present. We contacted several JKW specialists in the area. Clearsafe went above and beyond. In a matter of hours they had identified the plant and offered invaluable information, advice and support to help us progress with our sale as well as providing us with excellent quotations. I will not be hesitating to use or recommend this company in the future.

    We’re in the process of putting our house on the market and concerns were raised as to whether some weeds in the garden were knotweed. Contacted James who requested photos. He came back to me within an hour in between other jobs and was able to not only confirm it wasn’t knotweed but tell me exactly what the weeds were. Really appreciated his friendly but professional approach and quick responses. Would highly recommend.

    Had a bamboo patch in the garden out of control. Phoned up, sent a video of the area and within weeks it’s all been sorted. Credit to the lads, they were on time and put a shift in even when the sun was on full beam. Will definitely be recommending you to friends and family. Thanks again
