Moss and weeds

Most of my 'garden' is tarmac - which generally suits me fine - I'm not an enthusiastic gardener.

However, I've twoproblems - one of which is the side and back of the house which are fairly shaded and also don't get walked on much, are absolutely covered in deep moss after one year - in this weather (Winter) it's like walking on mulch. I've tried various treatments over the summer to try and contain/kill it - but nothing seemed to make much of a dent - is there anything really good for putting on it that'll really nuke it and prevent build up?

Similarly - I've a lot of weeds growing in the cracks between the tarmac and the house walls - while I can kill them fairly easily and there's no danger of using agressive weedkiller or chemicals in that location - is there something I can do to the area to prevent new growth at all? Can I use something to seal the cracks where the weeds are growing? Cement, or some sort of tar/sealant?

Thanks
Dave
