mind you, the only 'non-chemical' solution would be elbow grease.

[James Kilkelly, was GPI.]

One of the best non-chemical solutions to battle moss is to trim back any surrounding planting.
Allow as much light as possible to enter, creating a bright situation, which the moss despises.
Damp shade is a big factor with mosses as they seek to coat our driveways and quite dangerously our garden steps with their slippery greenness.
Reducing shade and dampness by increasing the areas access to sunlight will greatly cut down on algae/moss growth.

But this is all prevention rather than removal, so the only thing for it now is as medieval knievel says is "elbow grease" and a stiff yard brush.
If there is a heavy coating of moss to begin with you can carefully scrape it off with a flat spade.
Be careful of marking the surfaces though.

A powerwasher could be used as well, but like the flat spade you have to be very careful not to damage the surfaces.

If you wish to use a chemical moss killer on this one occasion you should be able to source some here....... Moss and algae remover

It's hard to see the beauty of moss on a driveway when it causes someone to fall and crack their two elbows out with the power hose I say
