Clean Moss on Paver Stones – Lake Zurich, IL
Blurred Lines
Restore the Beauty and Safety of Your Patio with Professional Moss Removal
If your paver patio or walkway is starting to turn green, feel slick, or look like it belongs in a shaded forest, you're probably dealing with moss buildup.
At Peter’s Paver Restoration, we help homeowners in Lake Zurich, IL (60047) and throughout Lake County safely and thoroughly clean moss off paver surfaces—without damaging your hardscape in the process.
This isn’t just a cosmetic issue. Moss can make your patio slippery, degrade your pavers, and trap moisture where it doesn’t belong. We can fix that.
Why Moss Grows on Paver Stones
Moss thrives in damp, shaded, and poorly drained areas, especially on porous materials like brick or stone pavers. If your patio gets little sunlight or stays wet after a rain, it’s the perfect environment for moss to spread.
You might start seeing a thin green film in the joints or across the tops of your pavers. Over time, it thickens, darkens, and can even begin lifting the surface layer of your bricks. It also makes the area slippery, especially when wet, and gives your outdoor space a neglected look even if everything else is clean.
Our Safe and Effective Moss Removal Process
At Peter’s Paver Restoration, we take moss removal seriously—but we don’t use harsh chemicals or pressure washers that can harm your pavers or surrounding landscape.
We begin by gently removing the moss using safe, non-destructive cleaning methods designed specifically for hardscape surfaces. Once the moss is gone, we thoroughly rinse and clean the area to remove any remaining organic material that could cause regrowth.
If the joints have been compromised by moisture or erosion, we’ll re-sand them with polymeric sand to help lock your pavers back into place. And if you want extra protection, we offer optional sealing to help keep future moss from getting a foothold again.

Why Not Just Pressure Wash the Moss?
It’s tempting to blast moss away with a pressure washer, but that can do more harm than good. High-pressure water can strip away joint sand, loosen pavers, and etch the surface of your bricks, especially if they’re older or more porous.
Our methods are designed to clean deeply without causing long-term damage. We treat the moss—and the conditions that allow it to thrive—without compromising the structure or appearance of your patio.
How to Keep Moss from Coming Back
After cleaning, we often recommend small adjustments that can help keep moss away in the future. Improving drainage, trimming nearby shrubs to allow more sunlight, and sealing your pavers can all reduce the damp, shaded conditions that moss loves.
We’ll give you honest feedback about what you can do to maintain your patio after the moss is gone—and we’re always available if you need touch-ups later on.
