    I have had great success with a very strong solution of thick bleach poured on, spread with a yard brush, let sit for up to an hour before hosing off.

      You use Iron sulphate to kill lawn moss , but I think this can stain pavers and slabs. So probably as FC said thick bleach + yard brush .

        I always use Stardrops. Cheap as chips old fashioned stuff.
        Sprinkle Stardrops on area to be scrubbed down. Slosh on a bit of warm water. Spread onto all areas with a litle scrubbing action to make into a slight lather with stiff broom all over surface. Leave for 30 mins to an hour, give it a good scrub with stiff broom then slosh with warm water to remove most of residue from surface. Let dry. Does not harm grass, no stink.
        About £1 at supermarket and plenty of other uses.
