Moss on Hard Surfaces

Moss can become a persistent problem when it colonises on hard surfaces such as patios, paths, roofs, and walls. It thrives in damp, shady and moist conditions moisture, creating a haven for its continued spread by its spores. Moss can also lead to structural issues over periods of time. On roofs, it can trap moisture against the tiles, causing them to degrade prematurely. On paths and patios, moss creates a slippery surface posing a potential safety hazard, particularly when wet.
