Hello:

Due to shade, etc., I have a fair amount of really healthy moss growing on
parts of my asphalt driveway, and brick walk.

Have scraped some of it off, but it's a rough job.

Was wondering if I spray with a Clorox solution, would this kill the stuff ?
If so, what % to use ?

Also, if dead, will it be more easily removable, with, e.g., just a hose ?

Any other suggestions ?

Thanks,
Bob

I have found it not any easier to remove it dead that alive.

I use a pressure washer to remove it from real masonry. Don't try it
with veneer bricks. Test any area you are going to use it on.

bleach works great 25% is probably enough

But since bleach is cheap, would undiluted be even better?
Or could it cause more damage than the benefit is worth...

Pressure washer is easiest... now, if I could JUST get mine started. <grin>
