Moss Control
Moss causes no end of challenges for outdoor facilities, making them look neglected, crowding out desirable vegetation, and making surfaces slippery and dangerous. What’s more, it has been notoriously difficult and costly to treat – until now.
Foamstream is a highly effective form of moss control for outdoor surfaces, instantly removing moss from paths and other surfaces and eradicating the plant with just one treatment per year.

What is moss and why does it grow?
Moss is a non-flowering weed that doesn’t have roots. Instead, it anchors itself to surfaces and collects nutrients using hair-like structures.
Moss is soft and spongy and thrives in damp and shaded areas. It’s incredibly common in boggy woodland and near waterways but also regularly grows on hard and soft surfaces, monuments, signage, and outdoor furniture – anywhere the conditions are right – making it a common outdoor facilities maintenance challenge.
The problems moss can cause
Moss can be problematic for a number of reasons, including:
- It can make grass boggy and unfit for use. If the moss does naturally die off as the weather improves and the area is more exposed to sun, it can leave bald patches, making the grass look patchy and uneven.
- It can affect the health and growth of surrounding vegetation, as it spreads across the surface and prevents their roots from receiving the water and nutrients they need.
- It impacts the visual appeal of facilities, making them look dirty, neglected, and making important signage unusable.
- It makes surfaces slippy and unsafe, causing slip and trip hazards.
How Weedingtech can help with moss removal
Unlike most plants, moss roots sit on the top of the plant. As Foamstream is applied directly to the plant, it kills the moss within minutes and inhibits regrowth. Requiring just one treatment per year, Foamstream is a fantastic non-toxic moss remover for paths and other surfaces, keeping spaces clean and tidy and reducing slip and trip hazards.
Why Foamstream?
- An all-weather solution – Foamstream can be used on all surfaces, in all weather, all year round. It is suitable for use on soft and porous surfaces such as historical monuments, and hard surfaces such as street furniture, signage, bins and benches. It can also be used on artificial surfaces such as sports tracks and astro turf.
- People friendly – A lot of weed control takes place in public areas such as parks and gardens. As Foamstream is herbicide-free it is safe to use around people and so can even be used in busy areas such as high streets and school grounds.
- Animal friendly – Due to Foamstream’s herbicide-free nature it can also be used safely around animals. That means our green solution can be used everywhere from dog parks to zoos and farming land.
Moss control FAQs
How do you remove moss from concrete?
This can be tricky to do effectively – many people try manual removal or herbicides, which can be time consuming, costly and ineffective. Foamstream, however, is an effective moss treatment for concrete surfaces because it instantly coats and attacks the plant and stops it returning for at least 12 months. Whether you’re looking how to get rid of moss on paths, how to remove moss from block paving, or for the best moss killer for patios, Foamstream proves a highly efficient, time and cost effective solution.
Can I prevent moss from coming back?
You can prevent moss by trying to counteract the conditions it thrives in, ensuring spaces have adequate drainage and aeration, quality soil, and plenty of sunlight. However, levels of moisture and sunlight are dictated by the environment we live in and are often beyond our control. The best way to prevent moss from returning is with an effective treatment like Foamstream. It typically only requires one treatment per year to eradicate the plant, making it the ideal moss remover for paths and other surfaces.
