Removing Moss From Driveway ?
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 |

Thanks, Bob I have found it not any easier to remove it dead that alive. I use a pressure washer to remove it from real masonry. Don't try it with veneer bricks. Test any area you are going to use it on. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

Sounds like a job for a borrowed, rented or purchased pressure washer !
