Hello,

I’m starting to get some pressure from the local authorities at home 🙂

We have eco-friendly paving stones with a small groove filled with gravel. Over time, some greenery has started to grow here and there.

There is also some moss in certain spots. How would you approach this issue?

Good luck

If you have a solution, please let me know.
We also have permeable paving in the driveway, which is filled with gravel. The stones and especially the gravel are becoming mossy. For regular paving, I used a pressure washer with a surface cleaner attachment. It looked like new afterwards. I didn’t dare to do that on the driveway because all the gravel would be washed out.

How would you approach this issue?

- Glyphosate
- Flame weeding
- Letting it grow
- Scraping it out

The order reflects my personal preference.

Change the government!
That’s the only feasible solution. Moss is now the smallest problem, as it forms a fairly delicate thin layer, so it’s not really significant when it comes to the local fauna and flora.

Tell the government: Do it yourself!

Use vinegar water with a little dish soap on all plants except moss. They will die and can then be easily pulled out after one week. Leave the moss.

It really helps, but we have an awkward paving stone size. The joints don’t line up, so you have to adjust dozens of them.
By the way, wear gloves or you’ll get blisters.

Last year, I used a pressure washer on it; there are special attachments with a rotating disc for that.
