Holderness's Local Weed
Removal Services
IS YOUR OUTSIDE AREA SUFFERING FROM WEEDS?
Our weed killers are non-selective herbicides which will kill any plant that it comes in contact with.
These are ideal for controlling weeds on hard surfaces, including paths, gravel driveways, patios and wasteland. Our professional weedkiller is one of the few products which is safe to use in or around lakes, streams, rivers & other aquatic sites. It is fully backed by the Environment Agency.

We use iflazasulfuron which is a long-lasting total weed killer, meaning, when used at the correct rates it will control most annual and perennial weeds for up to 6 months. ( we recommend a 6-monthly schedule for reapplication to give full protection against future weeds).
To give our customers the best weed protection available, we combine it with a quality glyphosate-based weedkiller; this double whammy of herbicides is what allows us to offer a 6-month weed-free guarantee.
The uptake rate is as short as 4hrs, meaning we can treat an area and return to clean the next day; although the weed will show no visible signs of treatment, the chemical has travelled into the root system and they will die.

DO YOU KNOW SUPERHEATED STEAM CAN KILL WEEDS?
Are you worried about the use of chemicals on your property? We offer a unique weed control service using superheated steam.
With superheated steam, you precisely boil the moisture in the leaves and that ruptures the cells of the plant. This causes the plant to die from the outside back to the root system.
The heat can be applied by steam. There is a popular trend to reduce chemical use in the agriculture industry.
This is causing farmers to revert to mechanical & high temp weed control The current focus on environmental issues and non-chemical solutions worldwide is beginning to filter through to local authorities and homeowners alike, reflected in the changes in homeowners attitudes to the use of chemicals in their gardens or hard outside areas..... people just don’t want chemical weedkillers used in their gardens.
We were constantly asked about safe weed control so investigated alternatives to our usual weed control service. We found systems available (and to be honest) copied the techniques & steam approach used by councils and local authorities.
Our weedkilling system is incredibly effective but not fast; some domestic weedkillers bought from places such as garden centres or DIY Stores are designed to quickly dehydrate the top leaf, which gives the impression that the weeds are dying, but the roots remain intact.
Our system works by removing the ability for the root to absorb nutrients from the ground (effectively starving the plant to death); it’s a very effective & permanent system, but it’s not a quick fix; it’s designed for effectiveness, not speed taking 14-28days to show visible signs the weeds are dying but they will completely die.
Once sprayed, the weed's leaf cell wall will accept the chemical within 4hrs; from this point on, the weeds are sentenced to death. Heavy rain is something that can create problems after spraying (within 4hrs), but we monitor the weather forecast.
As the weedkiller needs to fall on the weed stem or leaf, We can only kill the weeds that are showing; any weeds still in the seed state will not be affected by our treatment; sometimes, a second application is required.

A great service! Henry cleaned our drive on Tuesday, and as promised very little mess with is Westermann's cleaning system. (And not as noisy as he warned us of) The pet-friendly weedkiller was very important with us owning 3 dogs and a cat.
Client Comment
The estate walls suffered years of neglect, and the 100yr old capping stones needed specialist cleaning. We trusted Henry and his assistant, and we were highly delighted with the end result.

Thank you for cleaning the driveway on our bungalow.
The neighbours are very envious! I’m sure more calls will be coming to clean their drives! Cleaning the rear patio is next, maybe next month, finances willing.

Our daughter recommended Henry to clean our Indian stone patio.
We were highly delighted with the result and took his advice on future treatments to keep it moss free.
