How do you get rid of Moss
 

permanently?

Last summer I got the Pressure washer on the backyard and it was thorouhly
clean and devoid of moss,or so i though it was.
Anyway the cold spell and rain season brought it all back and is twice as
much as it was before the cleanup so if this summer I cleaned it again and
scrubbed it would a coat of red brick(floor) paint stop it from appearing
again?

You don't, moss is a plant just like any other and it grows wherever it can.
This aside, I'm sure you mean algy.

IME, jetwashing does nothing to remove algy, yes it goes away, but comes
back quicker and stronger than it was before.
Painting it might help, although it would probably be more slippery than the
algy.
Algy dislikes alkalis, try a soap powder mixture scrubbed on and rinsed off,
also try and ensure adequate drainage, algy (and moss) both require moisture
to flourish

What kind of surface is the yard? If its sand or earth between
numerous cracks, replace with adhesive sand - I forget the exact name.

The ancient remedy is to scrub in some chlorine-based household bleach.

This is impossible :-( There are moss spores in the air which will grow
wherever they can find food, water, and a surface.

That was what I used to scrub the yard with.

To all its a concrete yard but I'd imagine it not that thick a layer.
I've been informed that if I got some Zinc based paint? and paint it before
using the red brick paint that'll cure it?

Algy dislikes alkalis,

Soda crystals are cheep, you can dissolve them in hot water and spray or
pour on. Should kill the moss at the very least. Might need stiff broom
to get the moss off the surface though, once it's dead.
