How do you get rid of Moss on the brick paving?
Sep 15, 2007 by splashlady34 | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
There is a lot of green moss all over the brick paving at the front of my house and I want to get rid of it. Any good ways to get rid of it?
Bleach will work... or you can get Mold and Mildue Stain remover, it will also work. Use a brush to scrub it, then rinse off VERY WELL! I had the same problem on the N sides of my house when I went to scrape and paint it. The latter worked wonders!!! Its about $6 or 7 a gallon and worth every penny... But bleach will work just as well.

scrub with bleach then pressure wash.

Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) in hot water.
Less harmful to the environment than bleach. It's also jim dandy stuff to use to wash walls, etc., before applying paint. Cleans off all the grease, smoke, and what-not.
Available from hardware stores and large grocery stores. Cheap like borsch, too.
Scrub hard.
Zinc is quite toxic to mosses: You can use zinc strips to kill moss that wants to grow on roofs, but I don't know what the equivalent for this would be on paving brick. Perhaps your hardware supplier might know.

i don't like bleach, chemicals or poisons on brickwork. pets and birds are likely to drink from standing water, not to mention the children playing on the floor. a pressure washer used once a year usually does a great job of cleaning the moss off the brick. it makes the brickwork look brand new. one caution: the pressure washer can chew up older or weak grout joints, start in an area that doesn't show to get your technique down. after a little practice you should be able to get an even and consistant look. don't hold the nozzle to close to the floor.

Does anyone know how much more cobbles or setts would be to lay more than normal brick paving ?
Feb 04, 2009 by giltedge69 | Posted in Garden & Landscape
Hi, was wondering if anyone knew how much more cobbles or setts would be to lay more than normal brick paving on a driveway ?
If you have a rough idea of the M2 costs for both that would be great.
Many thanks :-)
Cobbles or setts require much greater skill in the laying process and can look like a dogs dinner if too uneven.It should at least double the cost for materials and a bit more for labour also

Which is less expensive laying brick or paving concrete?
Jul 30, 2008 by Choo CHoo | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
Hello,
I'm upgrading my driveway. I'm wondering which is less expensive? Laying brick or paving cement?
I'll be doing the work myself for laying brick. I don't know about paving cement though.
thanks for reading.
I am not sure what you mean by paving cement......if you mean having cement poured......I would say the cement is the least expensive of the two.........though you did mention you would lay the brick yourself...but I dont think a brick driveway would last very long....
If you already have a concrete driveway and are thinking of adding something to give it more pizzazz.....consider having the concrete stained and scored -its very decorative, very hardy and it's absolutely beautiful.

Brick paving quantity measurement?
Mar 14, 2008 by Tebidy | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
What would the easiest method be to accurately assess the quantity of bricks required to pave an area taking into consideration the spaces required between the bricks?
There is a method call the quick-check method. This method is only appropriate if you are using only one type of paver.
Below is the equation.
Total area divided paver factor: Area/Factor
The paver factor is determined dividing the total area of the face of the paver (in sq inchs) by 144 sq inches.
If you are using the metric system divide by 929 sq cms in place of 144 sq inches.
I would not factor in the spaces between the pavers because it may cause you to under estimate what is needed.
Since I do not know what the arrangement of the pavers is I cannot provide any insight into your waste factor.
What I can say is that with all work there is always a waste factor. Even if it just because some the material arrive broken.
A little bit of extra material is not a bad thing.

'Ducky, you're a little weird'
Albert Lea Tribune - Feb 05, 2012
'Ducky, you're a little weird'I told my dad I was going to put the hame with my CCC brick. The day before, we had visited the long-abandoned Civilian Conservation Camp in Raco, Mich., where my dad served before World War II. I'd found a loose paving brick leading to the barracks.
