Weeds, like all plants, have their purposes. They’re vitally beneficial to our environment, enhancing the habitats of insects, birds, and mammals alike and enriching the soil they grow in. However, when they pop up in areas you really don’t want them and are potentially damaging to health, property or livestock, then you need to remove them in the most effective ways possible.

RSM Maintenance has a longstanding record of working with both domestic and commercial clients, including local authorities, construction companies, parish councils, and highway agencies, on a wide range of projects of all shapes and sizes, treating weeds, noxious weeds, and invasive species.
We are trusted by local authorities and private commercial clients alike to treat weeds and invasive species, including Japanese knotweed, giant hogweed, mares tail weed, and ragwort, among others and to provide specialist advice and recommended treatment services.
Our work covers the treatment of the whole Lincolnshire highway network to clearing construction sites before development.
RSM is fully certified (NHSS18, ISO9001, NPTC – Safe Use of Pesticides) to carry out weed treatment services, using ultra-low volume, controlled droplet application methods to ensure that only a minimal amount of pesticide is used to kill the weed.
As works manager for KIER I’ve used the RSM team since 2013 on multiple highway maintenance disciplines, including winter maintenance, cyclic roadside verge maintenance and highway preparation for surface treatments.
RSM has always been organised and professional in its approach to any work, delivering an efficient program promptly. The management and works team are well motivated and highly skilled, with a good record and positive approach to safety and the environment. They demonstrate a flexible approach making sure the best results are achieved for all stakeholders.
Again, much like cost, this would depend on the specifics of the job, but we will always work closely with you to ensure we meet your expectations.
The cost of the work we undertake depends on a number of factors including type of work, size, machinery needed and time taken to complete, but we would always consult with you and agree costs to suit your budgets prior to work commencing.
No, we work on both commercial and domestic contracts and undertake jobs of varying sizes. If you have any questions about a project we are happy to speak to you and advise the best course of action.
We provide a range of environmental management services. These are outlined on this site under the services tab, but we would also be delighted to discuss your needs and offer our expert advice.
We utilise a range of equipment, both manual and machinery. We’re experts in our field and have invested heavily in developing our machinery to be the most efficient, safe and sustainable equipment for the work we undertake.
Due to the range of services we provide, the best time to undertake certain works can vary. Grass and vegetation management is usually undertaken during the key growing period April-October, however our road, footpath and fencing work can be undertaken throughout the year.
Absolutely. RSM Maintenance carry numerous certifications and accreditations to reassure our clients of our safe and efficient work practices and high standards. All of our team is also fully trained in the safe operation of all equipment.
This is dependent on the type and size of work being undertaken, but timescales will always be communicated to you prior to commencement of work.
No, in fact in many cases we would recommend against it for safety reasons. We are fully insured and accredited to carry out all works safely and efficiently, and all plans for work will be signed off with you before we commence.
We provide a full consultancy service ahead of and during a project and always take our clients wishes into account. Where certain plants and materials are not suitable, we would advise you of such and recommend an alternative.
