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.

Where I remove moss

  • Paver and brick jointsThe worst spots, where roots go deepest.
  • Driveway control jointsThe dark lines that spread across the slab.
  • North-facing and shaded concreteSide yards, back patios and walks under trees.
  • Retaining-wall caps and stepsAnything flat and ground-level that stays damp.

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.
