How To Clean Your Patio and Kill Moss - Patio Restored!

How to clean your patio and kill moss and algae that can take over concrete patio pavers. In this video I provide tips and show how I restored our patio to a moss, algae, and mildew-free entertainment oasis using a pressure washer and 30 Seconds Cleaner (bleach). I also explain how to apply polymeric sand, which will prevent weeds and moss from coming back.

You get an upvote just for having a summary at the start of the video. Nice.

Really a fantastic "how-to" video - one of the very best. Excellent mix of tips, tricks, tools, brands, ideas, recommendations and some humour. AND NOT TOO LONG!!! Thanks!!!

[lizgm]

Great video, appreciate the non-tool person perspective ("except I didn't have a compactor") and humor. Thanks!

[DianeT-ql]

Well done Bruce, u did a great job 👏 👍 🙌

Plenty of hard work but an excellent result. I only have a walkway to do, but am procrastinating. Your video has inspired me.

Holy cow - the before and after shots are truly amazing. I just power washed my paver patio (giant mess as you said!!!) and am getting ready to apply the polymeric sand. Thankfully I didn't have much moss or the need to clean the pavers beyond what my little pressure washer could do. Thanks so much for the video!

[tiaturnbullchampionscoachi]

[ozaernajim]

Excellent video -- confirmed I did this right, and your extra comments/ideas were very helpful. Thank you!

I love the way the moss looks on stone. Realize it's slippery so wouldn't want my patio completely covered, but here and there gives it a cottage look.

[jeromek]

Don’t know how you stayed so clean. I look as if I’ve been ‘pebble dashed’ doing the same…the missus has to jet wash me down…good job mate.👍

[thomasmuscarello]

I do the moss scraping with a 4 foot handled weed puller. no bending or squatting.

Nice!! and Yes, you sounded like this is a short, easy job but just "repairing" 30 or so uneven, cracked pavers took awhile....used Level 1 rocks and Level 2 sands from home depot...will need to do more thorough cleaning like you have.

I actually plant moss between stones to give an old English look. Landscape contractor 1981 to present

You did a great job and remained cheerful. I need to do our back patio which has moss on it. Great tutorial!

[Dmitry-ggc]

I need to learn how to sound like this when narrating my own videos :)

Great video! Part of the drainage issues are contributed to by the use of crushed stone and the fines it contains. HPB is the preferred material nowadays due to its excellent drainage properties.
