Moss
Moss is a small plant which does not flower. To some people it's their worst nightmare, where lawn care is concerned. Moss is not the reason for your poor lawn's condition - only the result of something that is wrong.
Moss is caused by any or a combination of the following
-
Poorly drained lawns
-
Compacted soil
-
Shaded areas
-
Underfeeding
-
Cutting the lawn too short
-
Letting it grow too long
-
Summer droughts
What about raking it out?
This is pointless if you do not address the cause of your moss problem as it will keep returning and a moss killer will only address the moss that is present at the time of that particular application.
A Stripes Lawn Care treatment program will contribute to eradication of moss in a number of ways by;
-
Maintaining a well fed lawn
-
Keeping thatch to a minimum
-
Applying a moss control fertiliser application in the autumn
