Its probably moss, mould, algae or lichen. Here are a few interesting facts (or maybe just facts)

Moss is a plant that can grow in shady damp areas

  • Mould - usually the black stuff on your driveway - hard to get rid of.

  • Lichen - plant like but not a plant - who knew

  • Algae - we all know is green and slimey.

These all need moisture to do their thing so are often found in damp areas.


How do you get rid of them?

  • Try scrubbing with hot soapy water

  • Maybe an all in one chemical, applied using the manufactures instructions

  • Power washing to blast the stuff away, but this can leave spores, and is not great for your paint

If you’re still not sure, feel free to give us a bell and we'll walk you through it!
