Killing and preventing moss?

Oct 30, 2009 7 Replies

I'm still trying to solve the problem of weeds and moss growing in the sand-gaps on our brick-paved drive. After advice here I decided against spraying with a sealant, because of its appearance and its temporary effect. I spent a day scraping out most of it and then, after drying, sweeping in new sand.



Is there perhaps some chemical I can sweep in over the sand which will kill at least the MOSS? (The weeds and grass are sparse, and relatively easy to remove manually.)

used it, but Tommy Walsh has put his name to it.

and stain paved areas (and carpets when brought in on shoes).

Thanks, I'd like to try it but I see it's not yet available here: "Tommy Walsh?s Dansand® would be available in the UK Retail by the 1th February 2010."

Thanks, I'll try it. Does it matter what time of year you apply this sort of stuff?
