It’s that time of the year again when this this irritating green and black life form begins to thrive in our lovely damp weather. The growth is always upsetting, turning beautiful driveways, paths and patios varying shades of green and making these areas slippery. This effect is an environmental issue, not the fault of anyone or anything relating to work carried out.
So what can you do about it? Well a look at forums across the internet will provide you with some useful answers but basically speaking you will need to use some form of algae remover to treat the affected area.
After cleaning you need to adjust your thinking; the garden is outside, It will get dirty and in time the appearance will change. We recommend a general maintenance programme to keep your outdoor areas in check.
Over time anything that is subject to the elements and left in the garden will attract algae, moss and lichen in part due to the higher than average rain fall and warmer temperatures experienced in recent years. We have seen a marked increase in unwanted fungal growth around this time of the year. As a result, grounds under paving, drives and paths have been holding in more moisture for even longer than usual which causes the perfect conditions for algae and other unwanted organic matter to grow furiously. This higher moisture content can also make lighter coloured joints appear darker than they originally were.
