Answer

Why do I get moss on my patio?

Damp, shade and poor drainage; cleaning, falls and porcelain resist it.

In short

Moss and algae grow where a patio stays damp and shaded, especially on porous stone with poor drainage. Cleaning, good falls and sometimes sealing keep it at bay, and porcelain resists it best. We build in the drainage that stops it taking hold.
