Weed Clearing Service
A noxious weed or injurious weed is a weed that has been designated by country, state, provincial, or national agricultural authority as one that is injurious to agricultural and/or horticultural crops, natural habitats and/or ecosystems, and/or humans or livestock.
It’s crucial to ensure that the removal and treatment of noxious weeds is done by experienced professionals so that the landholder is meeting all the relevant regulations.
