I was asked to price a Softwashing job on Indian Sandstone which was covered in Black Lichen. So I wondered why no other lichen bar the black spot variety.
The patio black spots that grow on your garden stonework are actually spots of black lichen. The spores from the black lichen start life as tiny dust-like spores growing on the underside of leaves on trees and plants. These spores are carried, by the wind and the rain, onto your stonework in their millions.
Their backdoor is surrounded by mature trees so maybe that's the reason the patio is covered in black lichen and a bit of a nightmare to get rid of it. If I get the job then I'll take some photos before and after.
