Moss can seem to be a beautiful occurrence in nature, but the truth is, moss is closer to being a mold and mildew problem than anything else. It grows quickly, thriving mostly in moist and dark environments, just like mold. During the rainy season, moss can grow quickly and survive longer because the overcast skies and wet environment are the perfect combination of dark and moist. Moss is hard to get rid of and remove, and it requires constant preventative maintenance to prohibit a future mold and moss outbreak. Many homeowners notice moss growing on their trees, and wonder how to get rid of the problem. Continue reading to learn about moss, moss removal, and its effect on landscaping trees.<\/p>\n

Moss Removal<\/h1>\n

Moss can create hazardous and costly situations for homes and properties; like making driveways and sidewalks slippery, covering lawns and gardens, overtaking trees, and causing roof and siding damage to our homes. Moss can overcome a tree, covering it from trunk to limb. This is unsightly and can cause moss to spread if the conditions are just right. The best way to prevent a mold and moss disaster is to remove mold, and implement methods to control its return.<\/p>\n
