I use a string trimmer followed by a chemical base to prevent it from
returning.

I have been using 100% vinegar with good success. That is, the moss
is killed quickly and it stays dead for a long time.

I don't bother cleaning it up. The dead moss is brown in color and is
not as noticeable.

No luck with hose removal. Pressure washing is forceful enough to get
rid of the residual but you risk damaging the bricks, especially if
they are cement bricks (paving stones) like mine.

Sounds like a job for a borrowed, rented or purchased pressure washer !
