Moss on patio?

[redredwine]

Since spring time is near (yay!), it's time for patio clean up. We have some gross moss built up on our patio (cement). What's the best way to remove it? I tried the highest setting on our hose nozzle and that didn't work. Any good suggestions? I read mixed reviews about Moss - B - Gone spray...

Bleach? Pressure washer?

There's a specific kind of moss killer at Home Depot that is made for patios and sidewalks. That's what you want. Then pressure wash it afterwards and it will look brand new!

You're welcome! We just had to buy a special kind that's safe for flowerbeds lol...so I read all of the various labels!

Lime. Moss grows in an acidic environment. Lime will make it more basic, and no more moss.

I thought this post was going to be about TRYING to grow moss, like the yogurt moss graffiti.
