How do I prevent algae & slime from growing on my sidewalks?




and deal with heat and humidity a great part of the year. Our sidewalks have a tendency to get a green slippery slime/algae on them for a good part of the spring, fall and winter. Is there a way to treat this and/or prevent it from occurring? Thank you.
