What is moss?
Moss are hardy plants that can grow in most environments. Moss is dense, spongy, and often grows in thick ‘clumps’, making it a real nuisance for lawns. If left to grow, moss can take up all the sunlight, water and nutrients in your lawn, stopping these vital elements from reaching your grass.
Given the right conditions moss can spread rapidly, outcompeting the grass in your lawn to quickly kill it or prevent it from growing. That’s why controlling moss is one the most important things to do if you want a healthy and thriving lawn.
How can I spot moss?
If your lawn looks discoloured or patchy, if your grass is not growing well, or if it feels spongy underfoot, then these are all signs that you have a moss infestation. There are few factors that encourage the growth of moss, so if these apply to your lawn then you should keep an extra eye out:
- Shaded areas
- Clay soil
- Poor drainage
- Excessive thatch
- Lack of winter mowing
How do we treat moss?
- Moss can be removed using scarification, which gives grass the opportunity to grow through and dominate again. If the cause of the moss is due to excessive moisture, then hollow tine aeration will help to improve your lawn’s drainage and prepare it for any future moss invasion.
- Specially formulated products can also be used to treat moss. These should be followed up by applying lawn feed to encourage the turf to grow and flourish.The most effective products require professional certification.
- Our moss control treatment can remove moss from your lawn easily and without stress. Using professional-grade equipment and products, you can say goodbye to moss and prepare your lawn for any future invasion with ongoing care and maintenance from our lawn experts.
