Rhododendron Removal

Why Rope Access Rhododendron Removal is Important

While rhododendrons may be aesthetically pleasing, the species wreaks havoc on our woodlands and can damage the rendering on buildings. They were originally brought over from the Mediterranean and Asia in the 1740s and rapidly reproduced all over the UK. The unforeseen issue with this is the irreparable damage they are causing and therefore they need to be properly maintained or removed as part of vegetation clearance.

Rope Access Rhododendron Removal?

With rhododendrons rapidly reproducing they are usually found in hard to access areas making it difficult to remove them. While ladders and access platforms can play their part in accessing these ‘at height’ locations, they are limited in their reach and can be expensive. Being in difficult to reach areas allows the rhododendron and other vegetation the opportunity to continue to reproduce in these difficult to access areas making the job difficult, costly and time consuming for domestic and commercial properties alike. Time is not a luxury we have in this situation. That’s where rope access comes in.

What is Rope Access?

Rope access is the most cost effective way to successfully and safely reach ‘at height’ areas to safely remove the invasive species, without causing damage to other wild life, stonework, rendering and other building maintenance structures. This makes the use of rope access equipment and our IRATA trained experts ideal to get in and complete the job quickly and safely. It is faster than any other method and the faster the removal is dealt with the less opportunity these plants have to reproduce.
