Why moss is a problem in Darlington
On Darlington properties, moss holds water on paths, drives and roofs, making surfaces dangerously slippery and shortening the life of the surface beneath. Darlington sits in County Durham, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
