The drive is to be resurfaced but before I have it done I want to get
rid of Moss etc.

Thoughts are to give a double treatment a couple of weeks apart before
machine brushing (Bobcat mounted brush) to remove the dead moss and
loose surface dressing.

Glyphosate will be used also as a systemic weedkiller.

Any recommendations on the best *moss etc* killer applicable during
Feb/ March months - staining will not be a problem due to the
resurfacing.


Shurely if it's being resurfaced the existing surface (etc) will
be removed first?


Its being mecahnically brushed (Bobcat probably) then a tack coat then
30mm topcoat

Glyphosate only works on growing plants, and is not a residual
"pathclear" type inhibitor to new germinations.


Yup - familaiar with it but I'm traeting some weds as well as moss at the
same time.
