It can be hard to notice moss at first on a healthy and green lawn, but once you do it is important that you remove moss from your lawn as soon as possible. While moss looks charming on rocks and trees, it can often lead to trouble for a lawn. Moss is a plant with shallow roots that can spread quickly through either rhizoids or spores. It smothers healthy grass by sucking up all of its vital nutrients, and can spread faster than you might think. Look closely at your lawn and make sure that there is not any thick green fuzz where there should be grass. If you have noticed moss growing on your lawn, here’s how you can get rid of it with lawn care.
Moss Prevention
To prevent moss, you will need a moss control product. Apply it in the fall after temperatures have begun to drop and the autumn rains have kicked in. Ideally, you should do this between the months of August and October. This will stop moss from growing on your moist lawn over the course of the winter and early spring. Excess moisture can often encourage moss to sprout, so it is important to take care of this ahead of time.
Moss Control
When you notice moss growing, apply a moss control product. These often kill moss and help to feed your lawn. Moss is most likely to sprout in shady areas, and this can help keep even these spots free of moss. It is key to keep a look out for it. Many people don’t notice moss growing on their lawn at all until it has become a big problem. If you want healthy green grass, it is incredibly important to keep moss at bay as much as possible.
