Why algae and lichen is a problem in Godalming
On Godalming properties, algae and lichen green film on paths, patios, render and signage that stains surfaces and makes them slippery through the winter. Around the pepperpot and the River Wey, Godalming's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Surrey.
