How to get rid of moss on tarmac drive

Just that really. Have tried quite a products including Patio Magic, Wet and Forget, but nothing seems to actually get rid of it.

It just looks so messy, does anyone know any wonder products or methods?

Thanks.

Weed burner and stiff brush.
Stiff brush area regularly afterwards to prevent it building up again.

Its a pain & a never ending task but, if the conditions that cause it to grow in the first place, don’t change (type of paving/shading/wetness) then it will just grow again ime.

We have a block paved drive and sprinkle soda crystals on it to kill the moss that appears, it seems to last a couple of months and it's a cheap product from the supermarket.

Thanks for both of those suggestions. It’s a massive old tarmac drive that I can’t afford to block pave yet. Facing east so does get damp.

I’ll try the soda crystals and weed burner on small areas. Thanks.

Apparently cheap biological washing powder sprinkled on it kills it and then you just sweep it up once it's turned brown.

Spray with white vinegar, leave a few days and then use a stiff broom.
