Killing Moss

Any cheap tips for killing the moss on my driveway?

I could use the stuff from B&Q, but my driveway is 250m2 so I was hoping there was a cheaper alternative!
 
I've tried allsorts, bleach, salt, moss killers etc and the only sure way to get rid of it is with a powerful jet wash.
The rotary path cleaners you can buy to use with the jet wash work OK to get rid of 90% and the rest with the jet wash.
Ours is a tarmac drive with a brick (pave) edging and I was concerned the tarmac might start to break up but it's been done 3 or 4 time and no sign of deterioration. Best of luck it's a fairly slow boring process.
 
Now I like the look of that gadget - thankfully I don't have block paving or that would be another thing I would have to buy . . .
 
There's not many products that will keep moss away. I work for a firm of cleaners and we jet wash drives all the time so that would be your best bet
 
My walks and courtyard/patio area are all brick and pressure washer seems to be the best way to control it.

what is that .... don't you cost me more money again PVR .... does it not disturb the sand between the blocks ?
 
I did a first pass with the Karcher, but there's still some suborn bits that are clinging on. Should really have kept on top of it.
 
Stihl attachment to my Combi.

For ease for you ZermattV, this is the motor, and then you add all the components such as strimmers (attachment standing in picture 1), hedge trimmers, extension poles, brush kit, chain saw and so forth. Very good stuff, it does not remove the sand as that is very compacted in between the bricks. You need ear protectors though as the prof series is loud (and face mask as it does flick stuff up).

I think with a pressure washer you remove more sand as the brush goes over it, whilst the water goes between the bricks.
 
The cheapest most effective method for killing moss is - Chlorine - the type added in swimming pools.

Just spread and let it sit nicely and its the end.
