Moss Removal from Driveways

Moss Removal From Patios And Drives

Living in the UK has the disadvantage of having plenty of damp weather, which is the perfect breeding ground for moss. With the low temperatures and all the weather aspects including short bursts of sunlight moss can easily overtake any area it is given to grow.

Being formed of tiny pieces of fungus moss has the ability to grow in the smallest of places such as in between bricks, tiles and wood. Once an infestation begins the moss can grow at an alarming rate and soon becomes a bigger problem.

Having moss on the drive or patio can be very dangerous especially if it left untreated. Consisting of a high level of water moss can be a very slippery surface prone to accidents. A slip and fall accident as a result of a moss infestation can resort to serious injuries so it best to deal with it sooner rather than later.

With so many different moss removal products on the market there are plenty of products available to take care of the job for you. However in many cases the removal product can be even more dangerous than the moss itself. Although a treatment for moss is quick it is enough time for an accident to happen if hazardous substances are involved.

When treating the removal of moss from the drive or patio using a water based solution is the safest option there is available. Compared to other moss removal products on the market a water based solution has a neutral pH which is significantly lower in risk. Having a product with no harmful chemicals is not only more effective on the removal of moss but it is also safer to use around the home where children and pets are nearby.

As well as having a neutral pH a water based moss remover does a thorough job and it requires no rinse cycle afterwards. After application the lack of nasty chemicals means that the substance can be left for the rain to wash away.

So in using a moss remover which is non hazardous and has a non toxic iron complex you are not only being kind to your family but also to the environment. Containing the only necessary element of iron as the moss control agent no corrosive materials can damage the surrounding area or pose a serious threat to children and animals.
