To get rid of nostoc algae in a gravel driveway, the most effective method is a combination of physical and chemical treatments. Start by manually removing the visible nostoc mats by scraping or raking them off the gravel surface. After physical removal, applying an herbicide formulated for algae or cyanobacteria can effectively kill the remaining nostoc. If you prefer natural methods, vinegar or a bleach solution (diluted with water) can be used to eliminate the algae. It’s important to avoid overwatering the area and ensure that the gravel driveway has good drainage to prevent excessive moisture, which promotes nostoc growth. Regularly inspect the driveway for signs of regrowth and address the issue promptly.
