Weed prevention in moss carpet

After a couple years of eliminating the struggling grass my shady front entry Âcourtyard now has a wonderful green moss carpet. While there are fewer weeds now that it is thickly established it is still a hassle to keep after the dang things. I have found that using Round-up damages the moss sufficiently to allow an area where new weeds have a chance to become established and the dead weeds still need to be cleared away. Has anyone experimented with using pre-emergent products such as Preen on moss? As it works on preventing seeds from germinating and moss produces spores rather than seeds in theory it wouldnÂt disturb the mossÂs regeneration. I figured best to see if anyone else has tried it before I start experimenting.
