Moss is beautiful ... in the forest!

It’s Slippery (and Dangerous)

In the Pacific Northwest, moss isn’t just a green inconvenience, it’s practically a local resident. And while it might lend a certain storybook charm to forest trails, it’s a whole different story when it starts taking over your driveway, your patio, or your walkways.

Moss traps moisture, creating slick surfaces that can lead to slips and falls. That’s especially risky on sloped driveways, front steps, or heavily shaded walkways where water doesn’t dry quickly. If you’ve got kids, pets, or visitors using those surfaces, it’s more than a cosmetic issue, it’s a serious safety concern.

It Breaks Down Surfaces Over Time

Moss holds moisture against the surface, which can slowly degrade concrete, brick, and stone. Over time, this can lead to cracking, pitting, and premature wear, especially in freeze-thaw conditions.

What starts as a green patch can become a costly repair if left alone.

The Good News? It’s Fixable

Professional pressure washing or soft washing (depending on the surface) removes moss effectively and safely. At Snohomish Pressure Washing, we pair the right level of pressure with targeted treatment to lift the growth without harming your property.

Think of moss as more than just ugly — think of it as a warning sign. When it shows up, it’s time to clean things up.
