Our Marestail treatment services
Marestail is notoriously difficult to control, but with repeated professional treatments, we achieve substantial reduction. If your garden has multiple invasive weeds, consider our broader garden weed removal services in Manchester for comprehensive care.
Once identified, we create a long-term treatment plan based on your property’s infestation level. The initial year includes 3 intensive treatments to make the greatest impact quickly. Following this, 1-2 maintenance treatments over the next 5 years help ensure lasting control.
We also treat the soil pH to promote healthy plant growth, which Marestail often suppresses. For ongoing maintenance, our DIY horsetail weedkiller kits are available for use between professional treatments.

Frequently asked questions about our services
What does Marestail look like throughout the year?
Marestail (horsetail) has a varied life cycle, changing appearance with the seasons:
- In spring, look for small brown stems topped with green cone-like spores, 20 to 50 cm tall.
- During summer, fir tree-like shoots grow rapidly, reaching up to 5 feet in height.
- In autumn, Marestail withers and dies back above ground, staying dormant underground through winter before regrowing in spring.
How do you prevent future Marestail outbreaks?
Marestail thrives in acidic soils. We treat the soil pH around the infestation, which helps suppress Marestail growth and encourages healthier, less vulnerable plants to thrive.
Can Marestail be completely eradicated?
Due to its deep roots, herbicide resistance, and rapid spore production, total eradication is challenging.
While complete removal isn’t guaranteed, we effectively monitor, control, and stunt Marestail growth with repeated treatments. For ongoing maintenance, we also offer professional-grade DIY horsetail weedkiller kits.
