Stiff brush for moss removal

3 replies

repeater · 11/11/2024 21:01

My tarmac driveway is starting to get quite a lot of moss build up on either side of it. I'd like to get rid of it before it spreads much more.

I can't use a pressure washer (no outside tap) and I'd rather not use chemicals.

Can anyone recommend a stiff brush?

Thanks. Have you used this brush?

Be careful using a brush, you will effectively be spreading the moss into the voids in the asphalt and could make it worse and compromise the integrity of the asphalt and lead to huge problems. Thin bleach to kill it first then brush would be the best solution but if you don’t want to use chemicals then try vinegar solution to kill the moss first. And you’re right not to pressure wash it! Especially this time of year as the water would get in, freeze and crack the asphalt!
