    As long as there is no plants/grass too nearby, you can use thick bleach - simply pour it on in blobs, brush it out to cover the stones evenly and then let it sit for 15-30 mins, and then give it a good hosing off (use plenty of water to ensure it is well diluted so it does no harm to the surrounding soil etc - better still if you can hose it off into a drain)

    Ahh, its the small edging stones that border the grass/patio and the stone paving nearest the grass. I could hose it down but there is a risk it will get on the new turn especially if I try to scrub the edging stones

    Best not go near it with bleach then. The only other way I can think of would be a pressure washer if you have (or can borrow) one?
