About
Algae is typically seen as green in appearance, but it can also appear black and streaky. On your house; from afar, you might think that these dark-green patches are just decorative patterns - they're really not! Algas thrive best when there are warm humid summers like we have here near Gloucester with its summertime temperatures often exceeding 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 Celsius). The high acidity levels found naturally along our shorelines make them an ideal environment for this plant-based algae growth habit to thrive even more so than other areas where such conditions don't exist or aren’t present year-round.
