Moss Control

Moss control involves the removal and prevention of moss growth in lawns, gardens, and hardscape areas. Moss thrives in shady, moist, and acidic environments, often appearing in areas where grass or other plants struggle to grow. Moss control can be achieved through a combination of cultural, mechanical, and chemical methods. Cultural controls include improving soil drainage, reducing shade, and correcting soil pH with lime. Mechanical methods involve raking or dethatching to remove existing moss, while chemical controls may include the application of moss-killing products containing iron sulfate or similar ingredients. Regular moss control is important for maintaining the health and appearance of lawns and gardens, ensuring that desired plants have the best chance to thrive without competition from moss.
