Moss & algae removal in Victoria
Thick moss and black algae cleared out of driveways, pavers, patios and walkways across Greater Victoria.
Victoria grows moss on everything
Mild temperatures, heavy winter rain and plenty of shade from cedars, firs and garry oaks make the capital region ideal for moss. On driveways and patios it roots into joints, cracks and the rough texture of exposed aggregate. Scraping it off by hand only takes the top.
A proper pressure wash clears the moss, its roots, and the black algae underneath out of the surface. You get back clean joints and concrete that dries out faster after rain.

Questions
Moss removal: common questions
Will the moss come back?
In Victoria's climate, yes, eventually. Moss spores are everywhere here. A thorough clean resets the surface, and most people book yearly to keep ahead of it.
Do you remove moss from roofs?
No. I focus on ground-level concrete, stone and pavers. Roofs need a low-pressure soft-wash process and roof safety gear, so I leave those to roof specialists.
Can you get moss out of paver joints?
Yes. Paver joints are where moss roots in deepest. I clean them out, and if the joints lose sand in the process I'll point it out so they can be re-filled.
