I'm located in the Pacific Northwest and I'm dealing with a lot of moss that's growing between the pavers on my patio that connects to the lawn in my backyard. I'm searching for safe ways to eliminate this moss that won't hurt my dogs or damage my lawn. Any recommendations? Thanks!

You could pressure wash it out and then treat the area with copper sulfate, which some roof maintenance companies in the PNW use to keep moss off roofs. But definitely consider whether you really want to remove it—moss is tough to grow in warmer areas!
Honestly, moss can look really nice and helps prevent weeds from popping up. If you're still set on removing it, just be careful with the pressure washing; you might want to consider filling the gaps with dry concrete afterward to keep it from coming back.
If you want to get rid of the moss, one effective method is to use a pressure washer. Just be prepared to refill the gaps with polymeric sand afterwards, as moss removal could create some space between the pavers. Also, using a product like Wet n Forget after pressure washing can help prevent the moss from coming back too quickly.
