Why ivy is a problem in Dartford
On Dartford properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Dartford's industrial river frontage on the Darent and Thames estuary, including old paper mill and cement works sites, has provided disturbed brownfield land where knotweed has become firmly established.
