Cotoneaster Removal & Control
bird-sown seedlings root into walls, rockeries and chalk banks, and established bushes crowd out native ground flora. Our qualified team surveys, treats and monitors cotoneaster so it stays gone.
The Problem
bird-sown seedlings root into walls, rockeries and chalk banks, and established bushes crowd out native ground flora.
How We Treat It
cut-stump herbicide treatment, grubbing out of seedlings and follow-up on regrowth.
Best Time to Act
autumn and winter for cut-stump work.
Typical Cost
From £300 for domestic gardens; wall and bank work quoted per site.
Legal Position
Several cotoneaster species are Schedule 9 listed — arisings must be disposed of responsibly.
