Professional patio moss removal - that slippery green hazard cleared away. Your patio safe to walk on, clean, and looking good again.
More Than Just Ugly

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my patio get so mossy?
Shade, damp, and organic debris create perfect moss conditions. Patios under trees or on north sides are worst. Devon's wet climate doesn't help either.
Is moss just ugly or actually a problem?
Both. It's a genuine slip hazard when wet - people really do fall. But also makes your patio look neglected and can damage some surfaces over time.
Can treatment stop moss coming back?
Slows it significantly. Anti-moss treatment after cleaning extends time between cleans. Nothing stops it forever in Devon's climate, but treatment helps.
Do you remove moss from joints too?
Yes - joints are where moss establishes. We clear the surface and the gaps. May need re-sanding on some patio types after deep cleaning.
