Moss is usually present in lawns in response to other lawn problems such as compaction, waterlogging, bare patches or an ageing lawn.  The best solution is to treat the underlying causes allowing moss to thrive

Where moss is present, whatever the cause, it is often advantageous to control and remove it.  This is because moss stifles lawn grasses and causes excess thatch to build up in your lawn.  Gradually it will become harder to mow and keep the lawn looking good.  Moss in lawns is controlled in three main ways;

• a lawn treatment process to control the moss – it blackens and shrinks and can then be removed more easily or left to decompose over time
• a mechanical process of scarification which physically removes the moss from the lawn with or without additional aeration which reduces compaction and gets nutrients into the lawns root zone
• getting the lawns nutrition right with granular and liquid feed and fertilizer products during the year.

We treat moss mainly during the winter but if your lawn requires it we will apply moss control multiple times during the season.

What does our moss control application consist of? It will have some of the following: ferrous or iron sulphate, ammonium sulphate and a wetting agent to help the treatment penetrate more deeply into the moss.  Iron, sulphur and ammonium are all also essential elements required for the healthy growth of grass, so its win win.
