Removing Moss Question

Aug 09, 2006 2 Replies

Hello:



Due to shade, etc., I have a fair amount of really healthy moss growing on parts of my asphalt driveway, and brick walk.



Have scraped some of it off, but it's a rough job.



Was wondering if I spray with a Clorox solution, would this kill the stuff ? If so, what % to use ?



Also, if dead, will it be more easily removable, with, e.g., just a hose ?



Any other suggestions ?



Thanks, Bob


Maybe a little easier. I would soak it a few times in a solution of water mixed with Moss-Out. One it is dead you could use a power washer or a really strong stream of water through one of those hoze nozzles.

After you have cleaned the area, you could keep sprinkling some Moss-Out granules when ever you start to see a moss starting up again.

Make sure you use the Moss-Out that is for roofs and driveways. Many folks don't realize that there are 2 types of Moss-Out, 1 with iron and 1 with zinc. Your looking for the zinc which will not stain the drive. After the moss has turned black, take a snow shovel or the like and scrape it off.

Good luck!
