Just wondering....

Is that a picture of the roof or the lawn?

Re: What's the proper way to remove moss from a roof?
To seriously answer the question (although all the joke answers were right on) the moss growth on that roof is beyond being removable. If you remove it now, many leaks will result. That is a reroof job.

Re: What's the proper way to remove moss from a roof?
It is way past its prime, the fascia is in as bad a shape as the roof. The only way to do this properly is reroof.
