Spring clean with Mosgo

Hard surface clean-up for Spring

Maintaining a beautiful space in your garden, patio or balcony is more than ensuring your plants and lawns are healthy. Keeping your hard surfaces clean and preserved ensure that they not only look good, but also make it a safer place as growth on patios, drives, paths and steps can cause them to become slippery. It can also make your roof look unkempt, reducing the visual impact of your whole house. In cool damp climates and shady conditions, it can be very difficult to prevent so it is something you will need to keep on top of each year.

It is common to find growths such as algae (green and red), lichens, liverworts and moss growing on hard surfaces.  These issues can be visible all year round but are most noticeable in winter or after a wet-spell.  As well as paths, patios, drives and paving it can also affect stone features and furniture.

A very common issue for hard surfaces in Ireland and the U.K is algae. Algae can appear as a green film or powdery deposit is typical of algae on paving, stonework and garden furniture. The dark green or blackish jelly-like growths that often appear in damper, cooler weather on paths and areas of tarmac are incorrectly known as blue-green or gelatinous algae, but are in fact a cyanobacteria called Nostoc.
