HORSETAIL
WHAT IT IS...
Horsetail is an invasive, deep-rooted weed with fast-growing
Rhizomes (underground stems) that quickly send up dense stands of foliage.
Horsetail or marestail is a common weed which can often be difficult to control.
It commonly grows through pores in damaged tarmac and often spreads quickly.
WHY IS IT A PROBLEM?
The creeping rhizomes of this pernicious plant may go down as deep as 2m (7ft) below the surface,
making them hard to remove by digging out, especially if they invade a border.
They often enter gardens by spreading underground from neighbouring properties or land.
HOW WE TREAT IT
Horsetail can be controlled with a specialist chemical group handled by our trained team.
Every job is assessed individually and a management plan is drawn up to complete satisfaction.
