    Why annual meadow grass is a problem in York

    On York properties, annual meadow grass seeds constantly through lawns, paths and beds, pale patches spoiling fine turf and block paving joints. York sits in North Yorkshire, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
